Sean Dyche makes two changes to Everton’s starting lineup against Brighton due to new injury concerns.

Sean Dyche makes two changes to Everton’s starting lineup against Brighton due to new injury concerns.

Everton will go to Brighton & Hove Albion today (15.00 GMT) in an attempt to increase their chances of surviving in the Premier League.

The Toffees are only one goal above the relegation zone due to goal differential as they continue to wait for their appeal against a 10-point deduction for violating profit and sustainability rules.

This has frustrated fans and, as Sean Dyche has acknowledged, may be having a

psychological effect on his players.

But the Everton manager and his team are aware that they can’t focus on that aspect.

Given that they have only triumphed once in the previous 12 games across all competitions,

better results are needed. In fact, the Blues’ 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace earlier

this week was enough to pull them out of the bottom three on goal differential,

but it took a late equalizer to secure the point.

Everton will play Brighton, a team that has been volatile this season and

crushed Sheffield United 5-0. Dyche and his team will be buoyed by their thrilling

5-1 victory against the Seagulls at the Amex Stadium during their meeting with them last season.
