Everton vs Brighton: prediction for the English Premier League match
Everton welcome Brighton to Goodison Park in the Premier League on January 3. Who has a better chance of winning this game? Here's our prediction.

Command Analysis

Everton

This will be the last year at Goodison Park for the Toffees, so they will hope to deliver a good performance and retain the residence in the elite. Everton haven't won since October 22 and really need a confidence-boosting victory, otherwise the team risks dropping into the relegation zone.
A week ago, they conceded a goal in the fifth minute of injury time, thus losing to the Wolves with a score of 1:2. After that, Everton held Man City to a draw (1:1). In 17 games, Everton got 15 points. They are currently in 16th place in the standings.
Garner, Onana, Townsend, and Keane have been ruled out of this fixture.

Brighton & Hove Albion

For Brighton, 2022 was one of the best years. But a race for a top-6 finish will be very difficult. In the last game, the Seagulls were losing to Arsenal 0:3, but they won back two goals and almost made a comeback. The game ended with a score of 2:4.
There are also rumours of Alexis Mac Allister leaving the club in January. This would definitely affect the team's morale and performance negatively. At the moment, Brighton are in 10th place with 24 points.
Welbeck, Moder, Webster, Mwepu, and Mac Allister will not feature in the upcoming game.
