According to injury expert Ben Dinnery, Brighton will be missing just six first-team players for their Premier League match against Everton on Saturday 4 November.
The injury expert published the information on his website, listing the players who will not be available and are “ruled out,” with only two potentially fit before Saturday’s game at Goodison Park.
Julio Enciso, Jakub Moder, Danny Welbeck, and Solly March are all expected to miss the match against Everton, but full-backs Pervis Estupinan and Tariq Lamptey have been “ruled out” by Dinnery but could still play.
Could it happen again?
Sean Dyche’s men pulled off an absolute tactical masterstroke on their way to Premier League safety against Brighton the last time they met.
Dwight McNeil and Abdoulaye Doucoure both hit doubles, and a Jason Steele own-goal sealed a 5-1 victory at American Express Stadium, one of the season’s biggest surprises after the Seagulls’ rapid rise under Roberto de Zerbi.
Could it happen again?
Can Dyche’s men draw inspiration from that game again on Saturday? Despite their good position in the table, the way Brighton is defending right now, conceding 19 goals in ten Premier League games, could give Everton plenty of hope.
The Toffees’ win over West Ham United at the London Stadium on Sunday demonstrated their ability to stifle talented attacks, and Brighton has one of the most exciting in the division.
But that won’t stop Dyche from pulling off another surprise win, and Everton will have their fans fully behind them, but they’ve only had one home win this season, and that needs to change on Saturday.
