Everton vs Brighton Preview

Everton head into this contest under early pressure, with Moyes already voicing frustration at the lack of transfer activity. Despite marquee arrivals Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, the Toffees were blunt against Leeds, managing just one shot on target. A reshuffled attack may see Thierno Barry replace Beto up front, with Grealish likely to start.

Brighton, meanwhile, showed control in possession against Fulham (90% pass accuracy) but lacked cutting edge without departed striker Joao Pedro. Georginio Rutter is expected to continue leading the line, supported by Mitoma and O’Riley. The Seagulls have won 67% of their last six competitive matches but need to sharpen their finishing to convert dominance into victories.
