Brighton vs Everton Prediction

Fabian Hurzeler's Brighton come into this with a degree of confidence having won 1-3 against Man Utd at Old Trafford last weekend, a result which extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to six games - their longest streak without a league defeat since 2022.

The Seagulls have proven stubborn opponents at home, too, with just one league defeat all season at the AMEX, and they now welcome an Everton side whose only win all season came against Ipswich in October.

However, last Sunday saw the Toffees secure their first win since David Moyes took charge for a second time, Everton holding off a late Spurs comeback to triumph 3-2 at Goodison Park.

With Dominic Calvert-Lewin especially having benefitted from finding the net in that contest, Everton could prove up to the task here and may be good value for a point against the hosts.
