Toffees' sticky patch looks set to continue

Premier League
Kick-off 1.30pm Sunday

Brighton have showed they have what it takes to be competitive in the top flight and they can make it three home league wins in a row with victory over Everton, who are finding goals hard to come by.

The toiling Toffees have failed to find a suitable replacement for Romelu Lukaku and they have registered just 17 shots on target in their first seven league games this term.

Brighton aren't prolific but four of their five league goals have been scored at the Amex, with six of their seven points claimed at home, and Chris Hughton's direct approach should ensure they at least avoid defeat.

Recommendation
Brighton draw no bet
