Not the most attractive fixture to start the week, but Brighton are a decent team to watch even if Everton are utterly dire.
Sign of the times that Brighton are only 5/4 to beat Everton. Maybe Everton need to try & poach Lord Klopp from the other side of Stanley Park.
However, in good news for Everton, Jordan "Mr Magoo" Pickford remains sidelined due to an injury.

Opta stats
Brighton are unbeaten in all three home Premier League matches against Everton (W2 D1), last losing at home to the Toffees in the top-flight in 1982-83.
The home team has won six of the seven Premier League meetings between Brighton and Everton since a 1-1 draw in October 2017.
Brighton have won none of their nine Premier League games played on Mondays (D6 L3) - only three clubs have played more games on a specific day of the week in the competition without ever winning; West Brom on Tuesday (32), Norwich on Tuesday (14) and Hull on Monday (10).
Brighton have won two of their last five Premier League home games (D1 L2), as many as they had in their previous 23 at the Amex Stadium. The Seagulls are looking to pick up back-to-back home league wins for the first time since a run of three in November 2019, the second of which was against Everton.
Everton lost their last Premier League away game 0-2 against Chelsea, ending a run of nine games without defeat on the road (W7 D2).
Brighton have dropped more points from winning positions than any other side in the Premier League this season coming into this round of games (20), with the Seagulls losing against Man Utd having opened the scoring last time out.
Think we'd all like to be a quid behind Tony Bloom.
