Did you know?

Everton are looking to secure their first league double over Brighton & Hove Albion since 1980/81, following their 2-0 victory at Amex Stadium back in August. 

Rafa Benitez's side have scored a league-high 76 per cent of their Premier League goals in the second half of matches this season (16/21), with no side netting fewer overall goals before half-time than the Toffees this term (five). 

Brighton have lost their first league contest in just one of the last 12 calendar years (1-0 v Wolves in 2016), with all four of their encounters in the Premier League ending in a draw. 

Brighton have won more points thanks to goals scored in the 90th minute or later than any other Premier League side this season (five), including Danny Welbeck's late leveller against Chelsea last time out.
