Brighton have turned a corner after enduring a challenging eight-game winless run in the Premier League.
Two back-to-back victories, including an impressive 3-1 triumph over Manchester United at Old Trafford, have given the Seagulls a much-needed confidence boost. While those wins came on the road, the focus now shifts to replicating that form at the Amex Stadium, where Brighton haven’t tasted victory in their last four matches. Manager Fabian Hürzeler will be keen to harness the team’s momentum and bring some cheer to the home fans.
Welcoming Everton could provide just the opportunity Brighton need. The Seagulls cruised to a comfortable 3-0 victory over the Toffees on the opening day of the season at Goodison Park, and a similar performance could see them achieve a league double over Everton for the first time in their shared history. The psychological edge from that early-season victory might just give Brighton the confidence to reclaim dominance on their home turf.
Everton, on the other hand, come into this fixture with renewed hope following a dramatic 3-2 victory over Tottenham last weekend. That win marked the first under the stewardship of returning manager David Moyes, who is tasked with pulling Everton away from trouble. However, their dismal away form remains a significant concern. With just one win in their last 21 Premier League matches on the road—a 2-0 triumph at Ipswich in October—Moyes faces an uphill battle to address the Toffees’ travel woes.
Historically, Moyes himself has struggled against Brighton, managing just one victory in ten league meetings with the Seagulls. That lone win came during his most recent visit to the Amex Stadium as West Ham manager in August 2023. While Everton’s situation might be different now, this track record could weigh on the manager as he plots a strategy to stop Brighton’s resurgence.
For Brighton, Kaoru Mitoma will be a key figure to watch. The Japanese star is on the cusp of history, aiming to become the first player from Japan to score in three consecutive Premier League matches. His pace and creativity have been central to Brighton’s attack, and the Amex crowd will be looking to him for inspiration.
Meanwhile, Everton’s Illiman Ndiaye will hope to build on his impressive showing against Tottenham, where he found the back of the net and extended his unbeaten record when scoring this season. Ndiaye’s presence in the attacking third could be crucial as Everton look to break their away curse.
A notable trend this season is Everton’s lack of productivity after the break, with just seven second-half goals in the Premier League—the lowest in the division. Brighton could look to exploit this weakness, especially if they can capitalize on early momentum and put pressure on Everton’s defense.
This matchup promises intrigue as both sides seek to build on recent positives. Brighton will aim to maintain their upward trajectory and deliver a commanding performance at home, while Everton, under Moyes’ guidance, will hope to overcome their away-day blues and earn a vital result. With plenty at stake, fans can expect an engaging contest at the Amex Stadium.
