Brighton & Hove Albion will host Everton on Saturday as they aim to improve their poor home record.
Brighton has slipped into the lower half of the league table after recent losses. Manager Fabian Hürzeler needs to address the team’s weak start, as they have allowed 55% of their goals this season in the first half. Currently, Brighton sits in 12th place and hopes to enhance their home performance, having not won against Everton in their last five league encounters at the Amex. A win is crucial for keeping their slim chances of European competition alive.
Brighton Team News
Manager Fabian Hürzeler has a squad that is regaining fitness. Brajan Gruda has returned to full training and is available for selection. A last-minute decision will be made on Diego Gomez due to a minor issue in training. This gives Hürzeler added options in forward positions for the important match. Solly March and Adam Webster continue to be sidelined with long-term knee injuries.
Bart Verbruggen will start in goal, supported by a defense led by Lewis Dunk. Joel Veltman is fit to play and will add experience at full-back. In midfield, Carlos Baleba and Jack Hinshelwood are expected to bring energy to the game. Danny Welbeck is likely to lead the attack against an opponent he knows well, having been part of 10 goals against Everton throughout his career.

Brighton predicted XI: Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Kadioglu; Hinshelwood, Baleba; Gomez, Gross, Mitoma; Welbeck
