TEAMS PREVIEW

Brighton & Hove Albion Preview

Brighton’s fortunes flipped in MD23 in comparison to the previous week’s fixture. After snatching a stoppage-time equaliser against Bournemouth in Match day 22. 

This time they were on the wrong end of added-time drama as Fulham nicked a late winner—despite Yasin Ayari giving the Seagulls an early lead and Danny Welbeck having one chalked off by VAR. 

The result snapped their five-game unbeaten streak across competitions, leaving them 12th in the table, three points off Everton and the two others.  

Stats that matter 

1. Ayari's opener was his fifth Premier League goal for Brighton, and his first in an away match.
2. Brighton are unbeaten in their last four home matches in the Premier League ( D3 W1).
3. In their last 11 games across competitions Brighton have managed to win only twice. 

Team News 

Aside from the long-term absentees and a recent injury to Brajan Gruda, Brighton have no new injury worries or suspensions to deal with. 

Brighton Probable XI - Verbruggen (GK); Boscagli, Van Hecke, Dunk, Kadioglu, GroB, Baleba, Ayari, Gomez, Mitoma, Welbeck. 

Everton FC Preview

For Everton, the last result felt more like relief than celebration given their place in the table. In the meantime, Thierno Barry’s fine run continued as his 76th-minute equaliser earned a 1-1 draw against Leeds at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday. 

The point lifted the Toffees above Sunderland into 10th—albeit only on goal difference. Still, it’s a frustrating stretch for a team that expects far more at home, where they’re now winless in four (L2 D2).  

In contrast to their stuttering home form, the Toffees have travelled well this season, collecting more points away (17) than at Goodison (16). That record should give them a touch of confidence heading into the Amex.  

Stats that matter 

1. Barry scored for the fourth time in his last five Premier League matches.
2. Everton have now conceded nine goals via crosses in the Premier League this season.
3. The Toffees have managed to keep a clean sheet in their last three away games in the Premier League matches. 

Team News 

There’s a big boost for the Toffees as centre-back Michael Keane is set to return to the XI after serving a three-match suspension. However, injuries to Dewsbury-Hall, Alcaraz and Jack Grealish will keep them sidelined.

Everton Probable XI - Pickford (GK); Patterson, Tarkowski, O'Brien, Mykolenko, Garner, Gueye, Armstrong, McNeil, Barry, Ndiaye. 

BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION vs EVERTON FC
Winning Prediction

This clash carries an interesting pattern: the last three Premier League meetings between these sides have seen only one team score, with the two before that ending in 1-1 draws. 

Everton also have the upper hand winning  the previous two encounters featuring the teams and come into the weekend with just one defeat in their last eight across competitions, which gives the Toffees a slight edge heading into this one. 

We predict a draw (1-1)
