Brighton vs Everton – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Brighton & Hove Albion host Everton on Saturday while they seek to end a dismal run of home form.

The Seagulls have moved into the bottom half of the table following recent defeats. Manager Fabian Hürzeler must find a solution to his team’s first-half frailties. Brighton have conceded 55% of their goals before the interval this season. The Seagulls enter today’s match against Everton in 12th place, looking to improve a home record that has seen them go winless in their last five league meetings with the Toffees at the Amex. A victory at the Amex today would keep their slim European hopes alive.

Brighton Team News

Fabian Hürzeler manages a squad that is slowly returning to full fitness. Notably, Brajan Gruda is back to full training and is available for selection. A late decision will be made on Diego Gomez after a minor training issue. Consequently, Hürzeler has more depth in advanced positions for this crucial fixture. Solly March and Adam Webster remain long-term absentees with knee problems.

Bart Verbruggen will continue in goal behind a defensive unit led by Lewis Dunk. Joel Veltman is available to start and should provide experience at full-back. In midfield, Carlos Baleba and Jack Hinshelwood are expected to provide the necessary energy. Danny Welbeck will likely lead the line against a familiar opponent. He has been involved in 10 goals against Everton during his career.

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