Everton – Brighton : Preview & Prediction
It’s off to Goodison Park for one of the Premier League’s most interesting fixtures this Saturday afternoon. Everton, who have been in fine form of late, host Brighton, a talented side in search of success on English soil. The Roberto De Zerbi-coached side, who are five points behind Aston Villa in the top five, know that this trip to the north of England is of crucial importance. Held to a draw by Fulham last week, the Skyblues need to bounce back against a team within their reach, even if fatigue and the succession of games seem to have had an impact on recent results. Faced with a side that was hard to beat in front of their home fans in October, Mitoma and his team-mates must take advantage of the week’s rest to rediscover the seductive level of play they displayed for many months last year!
With the exception of a defeat in the Mersey derby, Sean Dyche’s men are currently on a perfect run of form. With nine points from a possible twelve, the Toffees are well clear of the relegation zone, allowing them to attack the game with more confidence than usual. Despite many of the pundits’ criticisms of the home side’s early-season performances, it has to be said that the last few weeks have been a success for Wayne Rooney’s former club. If the momentum continues, with Calvert-Lewin in particular on the front line (goals and assists against Burnley and West Ham), all three points are within reach in front of a crowd of over 35,000 on the first weekend of November.
