Everton vs Brighton Prediction
Everton did extremely well to retain their Premier League status last season, given they were handed an eight-point deduction.
At Brighton, it's all change following the departure of Roberto De Zerbi, with 31-year-old Fabian Hurzeler the man tasked with replacing him in the hot seat.
Both sides will be quietly confident of picking up an opening day victory here, but we're backing the visiting side to claim all three points.
