Everton XI vs Brighton – Predicted lineup and team news

Everton travel to the Amex Stadium on Saturday, aiming to secure their first league double over Brighton since 1981.

David Moyes’s side has moved into 10th place following a series of clinical away displays. The Toffees arrive on the South Coast fresh from a 1–1 draw at Leeds United. Prior to that, they secured a monumental 1–0 win over Aston Villa. Their defensive resilience on the road has been particularly impressive this term. Everton have kept five clean sheets in their last six away fixtures.

David Moyes manages a squad currently reeling from a devastating injury blow. Notably, star winger Jack Grealish is ruled out with a stress fracture in his foot. He may miss the rest of the campaign if he requires surgery. Consequently, Moyes must rely on other creative outlets to provide service today. Michael Keane has returned from suspension and is available for selection.

Jordan Pickford will continue in goal behind a settled defensive line. James Tarkowski and Michael Keane are expected to form the central partnership. In midfield, James Garner and Idrissa Gueye should provide defensive stability. Thierno Barry is poised to lead the attack in sensational form. He has scored five goals from his last 10 attempts in the Premier League. Iliman Ndiaye will look to provide a creative spark from the wing.
