Latest comments before Everton vs Brighton match
Everton endured a turbulent 2023-24 season, narrowly avoiding relegation and finishing 15th after being docked eight points for breaching the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules. Without the points deduction, they would have finished 12th, well above the relegation zone. Despite this, manager Sean Dyche has found plenty of positives in the team’s resilient performances, despite off-field troubles and ownership issues.
Everton are currently preparing for the 2024-25 season, their final at Goodison Park before moving to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. While many teams have opted to travel internationally, Everton have stayed in the UK and played five friendlies, winning one, drawing two and losing two. They recently drew 1-1 at home with Roma.
Meanwhile, Brighton are entering their eighth consecutive Premier League season and are in charge for the first time under Fabian Hurzeler, who will become the youngest manager in Premier League history at the age of 31. Hurzeler, who worked at St Pauli, replaces Roberto De Zerbi, who is now at Marseille. Brighton have strengthened their squad with six new players, spending more than £100m.
Under Hurzeler, Brighton won all four of their summer friendlies, by an aggregate score of 14-3, including a 4-0 win over Villarreal.
Brighton will be confident ahead of their clash with Everton, having won their opening Premier League game in each of the last three seasons. While Everton will be a tougher test, Brighton have enough quality in attack to hope to win and get the Hurzeler era off to a flying start.
