Premier League
3pm Saturday

Everton needed 87 minutes to find a breakthrough against Crystal Palace in their last Premier League home game and can expect another tough test from a stubborn Brighton.

Marco Silva’s men were also level at the break when hosting Fulham and Huddersfield and the stubborn Seagulls, who have kept three clean sheets on the spin, should offer stiff resistance.

However, the Toffees are blessed with an array of attacking talent and can eventually conjure up the winning ingredient.

Recommendation
Draw-Everton double result
1pt 10-3 general
