Everton v Brighton: match preview

Everton v Brighton
Everton v Brighton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Photograph: x

Everton have started wonderfully but injuries have hit Carlo Ancelotti’s side already. Midfielders Allan and André Gomes definitely miss out while Richarlison is doubtful. Carlo Ancelotti would love to grab a fourth win from four to keep his side’s 100% record and regroup following the international break. That may not be much of a worry though if Dominic Calvert-Lewin continues his incredible run of form. Brighton were desperately unlucky not to beat Manchester United let alone draw. They are capable of an upset if Graham Potter can target any familiarity and fluency problems Everton may have. Graham Searles
