Stadium: Goodison Park
The struggling Toffees will hope to redeem their season after languishing in 15th position in the first half of the season. The underfire Rafa Benitez has to act fast to save his Job. Can he inspire his team to win against a well organised defensive Brighton side?

The Toffees are baffling COVID 19 in the team with players like Gray and Delph still out with the virus.
Everton has struggled both home and away, with just nineteen points in seventeen matches, the Toffees are eight points above the relegation zone.
Their last match against Chelsea ended in a stalemate. Everton fought so well against Chelsea to earn a point after Jarrad Brainthwaite's goal cancelled out Mason Mount's goal.
This is the poorest season for the home team in recent times and there is speculation that Rafa Benitez might get the sack if things don't change.
The imminent signing of Ross Brackley in the midfield can boost the morale of the team but still might not be registered in time to play.
Brighton
Potter's men are doing tremendously presently with one of the best away forms in the league, just one loss in ten away matches.
Their last match against title contender Chelsea ended in a draw after Danny Welbeck equalized for the away team.
They sure know how to play good football away from home and it's not sure if Everton would be able to stop them.
Head to head
- Everton have won all five home encounters with Brighton;
- Everton have scored first in three of their last meetings.
Expert betting tips
Both teams drew against Chelsea in their last matches with a solid defensive performance.
I'm expecting a recurring result when these two sides meet. Richarlison and Gray are doubtful for the home team, I'm tipping Brighton to draw or win.
