Everton are back in Premier League action on Saturday afternoon as they take on Brighton and Hove Albion on the south coast.

David Moyes’ side were held to a 1-1 draw against Leeds United on Monday, so they’ll be keen to get back into the win column in their quest for Europe.

Moyes can take encouragement from Everton’s second-half performance, as they played really well in a back-three formation.

Should David Moyes play with a back three and wing-backs more regularly for Everton?

Perhaps that could be deployed again against Brighton, who aren’t actually on a great run of form, having won one of their last 10 Premier League games.

Everton were on the end of a controversial decision by Kavanagh on the opening day of the season, as he awarded a penalty to Leeds United.

James Tarkowski was deemed to have handled the ball despite his arms being tucked into his body, so Moyes may be a little concerned that he is in charge against Brighton.

Neil Davies will be on VAR duty.

Everton’s recent records vs Brighton

Everton’s last five meetings against Brighton make for pretty good reading, as they’ve only suffered one defeat.

The Toffees have won their last two fixtures against the Seagulls, with the reverse fixture actually the first ever Premier League game at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Iliman Ndiaye and James Garner were on the scoresheet that day, so they’ll both be keen to get back amongst the goals again.

Fabian Hurzeler’s men are currently residing in 12th, three points behind Everton.
