Brighton v Everton

Brighton vs Everton Preview

Having collected two away wins on the trot in the Premier League in recent weeks, Brighton will now return to their AMEX Stadium in confident mood as they prepare to take on lowly Everton on Saturday afternoon with The Seagulls now just four points adrift of fifth placed Manchester City ahead of this weekend's top flight action.

Everton also tasted success for the first time in the English top flight since the start of December as The Toffees registered a 3-2 home win against a beleaguered Tottenham outfit at Goodison Park which in turn has helped lift the Merseyside visitors a valuable four points above the relegation zone.

Brighton bring a solid looking six-match unbeaten run into this upcoming encounter against Everton which includes picking up points in draws with West Ham, Brentford, Aston Villa and Arsenal along with valuable back-to-back wins on the road at Ipswich Town and Manchester United respectively.

The bigger picture may show Brighton have managed to capture just two wins in their last 10 matches overall in the domestic top flight but The Seagulls have only lost twice within this period of games as well, while also making themselves a tough side to beat at home.

Indeed, Brighton have suffered just the single defeat in their previous 10 home games at the AMEX Stadium including picking up impressive wins against Manchester United, Tottenham and Manchester City respectively.

Everton and manager David Moyes recorded their first win of the Scottish manager's second stint at Goodison Park with a 3-2 home win against a struggling Tottenham outfit although the merseyside hosts were made to sweat in the final minutes of the game after being 3-0 up.

Nevertheless, that result handed Everton only their second win in the space of 13 games overall in the English top flight following a resounding 4-0 home win against Wolves back in early December but the visitors have also been handed five defeats within this period as well.

It should also be noted that both of these aforementioned wins for Everton were registered on home soil at Goodison Park while results away from home in the Premier League have been nothing short of disastrous.

The Toffees have managed to muster just a measly single win from their previous 21 outings on the road and having also slipped to 12 defeats within this barren spell of results as well, this sort of form certainly does not bode well for this upcoming trip down to the south coast to take on a resurgent Brighton outfit.

Brighton v Everton Verdict

Brighton have lost just once in the last six meetings against Everton and having also picked up three wins against The Toffees, the south coast hosts look in good shape to take the spoils here.

Therefore, our main bet will be Brighton win @ 1.61
