Brighton have won two of the last 10 meetings (D3 L5) and are 4/6 to win on the Draw No Bet market in the Brighton v Everton betting tips.

Ten of the last 14 meetings saw both sides score, and it is 10/11 that this is the case again.

Brighton v Everton key battles

How Brighton’s defensive trio Lewis Dunk, Adam Webster and Duffy cope with the guile of Everton’s Brazilian striker Richarlison could be crucial to the outcome.

Everton boss Rafa Benitez has switched the Brazilian to the centre of a three-man midfield in behind Calvert-Lewin and it has paid dividends.

Richarlison had five shots and created three chances against Leeds, and he is 14/5 to score at any time and 7/1 to score the first goal.
