Team news

Brighton

Joel Veltman, Tariq Lamptey, Dan Burn and Kjell Scherpen are set to be out once again but Danny Welbeck could return to the bench. Enock Mwepu could be involved.

Everton

Moise Kean is suspended while James Rodriguez is unlikely to be involved.

Preview

Brighton have started the new Premier League season with back-to-back wins but they face their toughest opponents yet this weekend in the form of Everton at the Amex Stadium.

The Seagulls have seen off Burnley and Watford before dispatching Cardiff in the EFL Cup but Everton have also started strongly under Rafael Benitez, beating Southampton and drawing with Leeds before a cup triumph over Huddersfield.

At 9-4 the draw is enticing but given Everton's early emphasis on wide players this season, the better bet could be Alex Iwobi to score at any time.

The former Arsenal man is not known for his goalscoring exploits but he impressed against Huddersfield, scoring the opening goal, and has managed three shots and an assist in his first two league matches of the season.

Key stat

Brighton have kept one clean sheet in their last six league fixtures.
