Playing Doucoure a risk.

He's good at pressing in the final third when we want to be on the front foot. Definitely a home game player

But against teams that pin us in or have more of the ball, he's a liability. Not enough guile in the ball to keep it or make key passes for counter attacks.

Otherwise team looks spot on.

Yeah in 2020 it was a daylight robbery, lost it on a last second own goal from digne, but got robbed when they got a pen late on via VAR on Keane - never was one btw, it may have been the first ever Pen awarded via VAR in the league that as well. We had a stonewall pen on Richy in that game as well which VAR didn't even look at

Don't think we'll sit deep v these, think we'll get in their face high in their half and try to force mistakes when they tiki taka it around the back.

O'Brien got his work cutout today with Mitoma. Won't be pretty.

Agreed. Mitoma is a key player for them. Last game scored 1, and 1 assist.

Hope we get off to a good start again, and score first.
These very rarely fail to score so I think we need two to win.

1-2 to us is what I’m hoping for.

Brighton vs Everton​

While confidence may not be flowing through the Everton camp, there's certainly something to build upon following last week's 3-2 victory over Tottenham.

David Moyes' return has delivered positivity and a better way of playing. It's important we don't carried away in the very short term but I'd fancy the Toffees to have a better chance here than the odds suggest.

Brighton are good. Really good. They may well have been held back by draws but a three-game winning run in all competitions has put them back on track.

The best value comes in focusing on DOMINIC CALVERT-LEWIN though and the 11/8 price for the striker to have 3+ TOTAL SHOTS.

The striker's six shots in that win over Spurs was the most he's had all campaign, as was the 11 aerial duels he ended up winning. He was playing with confidence and deserved to end his four-month wait for a league goal.

We have to be cautious not to get too carried away on the basis of one showing but it doesn't feel like a coincidence that a new manager has arrived and this is what we've seen across his 90 or so minutes of involvement.

Brighton are averaging 11.6 shots conceded per game - 10.3 in home games - which isn't the highest in the league by any stretch.

But it does mean the visitors should get chances to strike and this bet doesn't require any of those efforts to be on target. It's something Calvert-Lewinachieved in both games under Moyes.
