Pundit backs Brighton 'potent' for top ten finish and makes Everton scoreline prediction
Writing his weekly predictions column for BBC Sport, Mark Lawrenson predicted a comfortable 2-0 win for the hosts, and claimed: "Brighton were so unlucky to somehow lose against Manchester United in their last league game. If they keep playing like that, they will finish in the top 10.
"The Seagulls look potent going forward, which is one of the ways they have improved, but no-one will want to play Everton at the moment. Toffees striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is absolutely flying and cannot stop scoring."

The last time the two sides met, back in January, the Toffees secured a 1-0 win at Goodison Park, thanks to Richarlison's first half goal.
