Follow the latest updates live from the Premier League clash between Everton and Brighton and Hove Albion as Carlo Ancelotti’s side look to maintain their 100 per cent start to the season.
Everton have been one of the form teams in the country so far, winning all six of their matches in all competitions and making it three from three last weekend, in which Dominic Calvert-Lewin continued his goalscoring run before netting a hat-trick in the midweek Carabao Cup victory over West Ham.
Ancelotti does have a number of injury concerns on his hands though, including summer signing Allan, and Brighton will fancy their chances of an upset after resting the bulk of their squad during the week. Follow the live updates below.
45+4 mins: Half time. Newcastle lead with what may be the only shot of the game. It certainly feels like it.

42 mins: It’s a scrappy, scrappy game. Phil Bardsley leaves too much on Allan Saint-Maximin and the Newcastle goalscorer stays down after the hit.
39 mins: Tarkowski clatters into Krafth and picks up a yellow card. Newcastle’s back line are in the wars out there.
Krafth recovers to send a cross into the box, Joelinton gets a soft header to the ball and Darlow sweeps up the ball.
36 mins: Schar lands awkwardly on his shoulder after defending a corner. He needs seeing to by the physios but it looks like he’ll continue.
Stephens takes a shot from outside the box, it deflects to Barnes who puts the ball into the back of the net, only for the offside flag to go up against him.
32 mins: Jonjo Shelvey twists his way into a touch of space over on the right wing. He gets his cross into the box and Wilson heads it wide of goal.
Westwood sends a ball over the head of Lewis and Barnes collects it, winning a corner with his attempted cross.
28 mins: Kevin Long deals with a long ball from Fabian Schar. That’s better from Burnley who’ve been struggling with that particular line of attack.
24 mins: Bardsley fouls Saint-Maximin as they Newcastle winger tries to run past him. The goalscorer is causing Burnley all sorts of problems over on the left wing.
