The two sides are in contrasting form heading into the encounter, but Sam Allardyce's men are hoping to capitalise on home advantage
Everton are hoping home comfort can help them on the way to three points on Saturday as they welcome Brighton to Goodison Park.
The Toffees suffered away losses to Watford and Burnley in their most recent games of a dismal run that stretches back to the end of 2017, but Sam Allardyce's men have found more luck at home on the road recently.
The seven points they have collected this year have come at home, and with Brighton in excellent touch in the build up to their visit to Merseyside, the advantage of playing in their own stadium may be pivotal for Everton.
