Brighton host Everton in the Premier League on Monday.

The Toffees are on a four-game winless run in all competitions and a win would be massive in keeping their European hopes intact.

Meanwhile, Brighton were left heartbroken after their 2-1 loss at Old Trafford last Sunday.

The Seagulls are six points clear of the relegation zone – but a win would be a further boost to their survival chances.

Here’s everything you need to know about the match.

When is it?

The fixture will kick-off at 8:15pm GMT at The American Express Community Stadium.

How can I watch it?

The match is live on Sky Sports Premier League and Main Event with coverage starting from 8pm GMT. If you’re not a Sky customer you can grab a NOWTV Day Pass here to watch without a subscription.

What is the team news?

Brighton defenders Adam Webster and Dan Burn could return after training this week. Percy Tau is available after self-isolation, but Aaron Connolly is a doubt. Tariq Lamptey and Solly March are out.

Despite Jordan Pickford returning to training, Carlo Ancelotti has stated that he will not be risked. Andre Gomes is out suffering a hamstring injury against Palace, joining Abdoulaye Doucoure, Fabian Delph and Bernard on the sidelines. Allan and Alex Iwobi could return.

Predicted line-ups

Brighton: Sanchez, Gross, White, Dunk, Burn, Moder, Lallana, Bissouma, Trossard, Maupay, Welbeck

Everton: Olsen, Coleman, Keane, Mina, Godfrey, Digne, Davies, Allan, Rodriguez, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin

Odds

Brighton: 5/4

Draw: 9/4

Everton: 23/10

Prediction

Neither side can truly defend, but Brighton have looked good recently and perhaps should have gotten a better result against Manchester United. I think they edge Everton here. 2-1 Brighton.
