Risk of unexpected result
Brighton Hove Recent Form: Last 5
Everton Recent Form: Last 5
Key Factors
Everton's elite away defensive metrics: 5 clean sheets in their last 6 away matches and 3 consecutive wins on the road.
Brighton's finishing inefficiency: Averaging 12.8 shots per match but consistently underperforming xG (1.55-1.75 range) in recent draws.
Tactical clash: Brighton's high possession and pressing (low PPDA) vs David Moyes' disciplined low block and reliance on Thierno Barry's high-conversion counter-attacks (50% conversion rate).
Injuries & Absentees
Brighton is hampered by the absence of Mats Wieffer (toe) and Solly March (knee), which reduces their midfield control and width versatility. Everton faces a massive creative void with Jack Grealish (foot) sidelined, likely forcing them into a more pragmatic, defensive setup. However, the return of Michael Keane to partner James Tarkowski solidifies a defense that has conceded the 2nd fewest goals in the league this season.
