Match Context: Mid-Table Tension at the AmEx
Brighton sit just outside the top half and are eager to halt a recent dip in results. Despite encouraging performances against strong opposition — including a draw away at Manchester City — missed chances have cost them valuable points.
Everton, meanwhile, have steadied the ship under David Moyes. While their early-season momentum slowed over the festive period, the Toffees showed resilience and discipline in a 1–0 win over Aston Villa, keeping European ambitions alive.

Everton’s ability to frustrate Brighton has been a recurring theme.
Brighton Current Form: DWDDL
Brighton’s recent form reflects a side that remains competitive but lacks a cutting edge in decisive moments. Against Fulham last weekend, they controlled large spells of the match but were punished late on.
Under Fabian Hürzeler, Brighton are well-drilled, quick on the counter, and capable of absorbing pressure — qualities that earned them a point at the Etihad earlier this month. However, their recent home record against Everton is a concern.
Brighton Players to Watch
- Kaoru Mitoma – Electric pace and direct dribbling, even if goals have been limited this season.
- Danny Welbeck – A consistent goal threat with eight league goals, strong in the air and quick to shoot.
- Lewis Dunk – Organisational leader at the back, vital against Everton’s physical forwards.
Brighton Team News:
- Adam Webster and Solly March (both knee injuries) remain sidelined.
- No fresh injury concerns reported.
Everton Current Form: DWLDW
Everton’s form has fluctuated since the new year, but signs of recovery are evident. The win over Aston Villa was built on defensive discipline and efficiency — traits that have defined Moyes’ recent teams.
Compact without the ball and dangerous on the break, Everton remain difficult to beat and are still in the hunt for a European place.
Everton Players to Watch
- Thierno Barry – Three goals in his last four league games, growing in confidence.
- Idrissa Gueye – Back from AFCON, a midfield enforcer who breaks up play and drives tempo.
- Jordan Pickford – A key figure who has saved Everton points on numerous occasions this season.
Everton Team News:
- Idrissa Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye return from AFCON duty.
- Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is back in training and could feature.
- Jack Grealish (foot) is expected to miss out.
Predicted Line-Ups
Brighton (4-3-3)
Verbruggen; Kadioglu, van Hecke, Dunk, Boscagli; Ayari, Baleba, Groß; Gomez, Welbeck, Mitoma
Everton (4-2-3-1)
Pickford; Patterson, Tarkowski, O’Brien, Mykolenko; Röhl, Garner; Gueye, McNeil, Armstrong; Barry
Brighton vs Everton Prediction: Fine Margins Expected
Brighton are likely to control possession, but Everton’s organisation and counter-attacking threat could once again cause problems. This fixture has a history of tight scorelines, and patience will be crucial for the hosts.
Expected Match Pattern
- Brighton pushing tempo and width through Mitoma
- Everton staying compact and striking through transitions
Predicted Result
Brighton 0–1 Everton
Another narrow Everton win cannot be ruled out if they remain disciplined and clinical.
