Follow live coverage as Brighton host Everton in the Premier League today.
For Brighton, this is another opportunity to stake a claim for the European spots. The Seagulls are currently seven points behind fifth placed Liverpool but have three games in hand on the Reds. A win over Everton would put them in sixth place where they’ll be well set ahead of difficult fixtures against Arsenal and Newcastle.
Meanwhile, Everton travel south knowing that a victory would take them out of the relegation zone. Sean Dyche’s men have gone seven league games without a victory and will be targeting all three points in this match ahead of their fixture versus Manchester City next time out.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today’s game in the live blog below:
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Everton
Everton, meanwhile, have no such lofty ambitions and instead find themselves deep in the relegation battle. Sean Dyche's side rescued a 2-2 draw against Leicester last weekend but remain in 19th place with no wins in their last seven games. Leicester's early defeat on Monday against Fulham and Leeds United's loss against Manchester City on Saturday does, however, mean that with an away win, the Toffees could move out of the bottom three and into 16th.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Everton
Brighton's fairytale season continues and West Ham's victory against Manchester United on Sunday may well have their fans dreaming of an unlikely late push for the top four. Buoyed after their dramatic last-minute win against Manchester United in midweek, a win against relegation-threatened Everton would move them into six and five points of fourth with a game in hand.
