Did you know?

Neal Maupay has netted in both of Brighton's Premier League matches this season. He could become the first player to score in each of their first three league fixtures in a single campaign since Nicky Forster in 2008/09.

If Brighton defeat Everton it would be only the second time they have recorded three consecutive Premier League victories, previously doing so in October 2018.

Only Liverpool (17) and West Ham (16) have had more shots on target than Everton (14) in the opening two Premier League matches this season. So far, the Toffees are averaging seven shots on target per match, compared to 3.9 in 2020/21.

Since joining Everton in 2018, Richarlison has been involved in more Premier League goals for the Toffees than any other player (42 – 34 goals, 8 assists). In their last game against Leeds, no Everton player had more shots (5) or created more chances (3) than the Brazilian.
