Everton vs Brighton: Premier League preview

Everton and Brighton picked up a single point between them on the first weekend of the Premier League season. Brighton suffered a late equalising goal against Fulham, while the Leeds United penalty that beat Everton has been hotly debated.

The Toffees were within a handball of a clean sheet against Leeds on Monday. Moyes partnered Michael Keane with James Tarkowski at the back in the absence of injured centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite, and is likely to have to do so again.

They moved to increase their creativity in the transfer market over the summer, signing Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Beto got the nod at centre-forward ahead of Thierno Barry.

Whether that new creative edge will get a chance to slice up Premier League opposition this season is likely to be unclear to viewers of Monday's match at Elland Road but the first home game has a whole different set of expectations.

Fabian Hurzeler and Brighton won't be shy about trying to give the home team a big ol' bloody nose. They got bopped late on against Fulham but Hurzeler has the weapons to take it out on Everton if Brighton have a good night.

The Seagulls have quietly been very busy in the transfer market and an intriguing group of newcomers is spearheaded by Maxim De Cuyper, who moved to the south coast from Club Brugge.

Charalampos Kostoulas came in from Olympiacos with many other clubs interested and is being eased towards match fitness, so Brighton started with the familiar Georginio Rutter, Kaoru Mitoma, Matt O'Riley and Yankuba Minteh against the Cottagers.

Both teams won their away fixture in Everton and Brighton's Premier League meetings last season.
