Everton travel to the south coast to take on Brighton and Hove Albion as Sean Dyche looks to find a way out of the relegation mire in the Premier League.
The Toffees currently sit 19th, but only a point away from safety, though they have managed to take just one point from their last possible 15.
They face a Brighton side that are coming off the back of a 6-0 win over Wolves, and are making a push for Europa League football next season. As it stands, De Zerbi’s men sit two points outside those spots but have three games in hand on the teams above them.
It is a must win affair for both sides, therefore, with so much left to play for and so little time until the dust settles.
Here’s how we expect Dyche to set up his side, and the latest team news from Goodison Park.

“Just back from my scan and pleased to say I have no ACL damage. Be back soon”, the 34-year-old announced on Instagram, though his season is thought to be over nonetheless.
Beyond that, there are only two further injury concerns, with Ben Godfrey ruled out and Amadou Onana touch and go after shaking off illness.
“Amadou Onana trained the last few days, Ben Godfrey will take a bit of time”, Dyche explained. Everyone else is fit.”
