Brighton vs Everton prediction: Dominic Calvert-Lewin can frustrate Lewis Dunk and co

Everton travel to face a Brighton & Hove Albion side who are riding on a high after winning their first two opening matches of the season in the top flight for the first time in their history.

The hosts are the slight favourites at 13/10 with Grosvenor Sport while Everton at 23/10 and a draw is 9/4.

Brighton, meanwhile, have shown strong signs of improvement under Graham Potter after coming from behind against Burnley and saw off a Watford side who were riding high after their opening day display against Aston Villa.

Potter has been linked with some top jobs during the summer including the Tottenham Hotspur job and while they saw Ben White go to Arsenal, they have not lost their way at the back.

It will be a tough ask for them to maintain that form when Rafa Benitez's side comes to the south coast.

Impressive displays against Southampton and Leeds United show the Spaniard has made an immediate and positive impact with the blue half of Merseyside - despite previous history with the other.

Tips

  • Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score anytime - 19/10
  • Both teams to score - 22/25
