THE PREDICTION
Despite having seen their last three Premier League fixtures postponed, Everton will be looking to make a fast start here at home with the Toffees fans expecting a positive result in their side’s first fixture at Goodison Park since their dramatic 2-1 victory over Arsenal. However, Brighton have shown that they don’t give up, even when trailing and pose a huge threat on the counter attack. The Seagulls have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last five away league games, whilst Everton have conceded at least once across their most recent six fixtures. When taking this into account, backing both teams to score looks very much the smart play.
Tip: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
