Everton News and Form – Can Everton land a home win over Brighton?
The Toffees had a bad start to 2020. They lost on New Years’ Day in league action at Manchester City by a 2-1 scoreline and then lost at Anfield against a second-string Liverpool side in the FA Cup. That’s the shine fully gone from Carlo Ancelotti’s positive start at Goodison Park. The Toffees have earned a W5 D2 L3 record on home soil in this season’s Premier League. They have put together an unbeaten run of three fixtures there (W2 D1), the wins in the sequence coming against Chelsea and Burnley.
Everton have been lacking a ruthless touch up front this season and have scored just 12 goals in 10 home games. Only 30% of league fixtures at Goodison Park in this campaign have made it over 2.5 goals. Three of Everton’s five home wins have been against teams who start the weekend in the bottom six. Brighton start seventh from bottom. In total Everton have taken a clean sheet in 40% of home games and have shipped only one goal in their last three on home turf. Just once this season at home have Everton been losing at half time in a top-flight fixture.

Brighton News and Form – Can Brighton win at Everton?
Alireza Jahanbakhsh has scored in successive Premier League matches for Brighton, his most recent being a stunning overhead effort that earned the Seagulls a home point against Chelsea on New Years’ Day. The Seagulls have only collected two away wins in this campaign (D2 L6) and they have lost three of their last five on their travels (W1 D1). It hasn’t been the most convincing of season’s away from home by them again. Interestingly though, five of their six away defeats happened against teams who are starting the weekend inside the top six.
In total Brighton have only bagged themselves two away clean sheets in this campaign and 70% of their away fixtures have made it over 2.5 goals. The Seagulls have not managed to collect a clean sheet in any of their last seven away games, but they have hit the back of the net in each of their last six. Heading into the weekend, there are only three teams who have earned fewer away points in the Premier League than Brighton, who have conceded at an average of 1.7 goals per away fixture.

Everton to win: Brighton have not been great on their travels this season and Everton had been a much-improved team before the turn of the new year. The Toffees may well be able to get back to winning ways in this home fixture.
