Match Preview
Everton will inaugurate their new stadium for its first ever competitive game taking on Brighton & Hove Albion. The Blues looked distracted and disorganized for their season opener away at Leeds United, and David Moyes has had a few days to fix that.
The Toffees might not have gotten any new signings this week, and they didn’t get much luck with injuries either, but they have an opportunity to correct the woeful performance they put in on Monday night.
Visitors Brighton drew their opening game against
Fulham, letting them come back from a one-goal deficit late on in a 1-1 draw. Games against Brighton have always been an entertaining affair given the brand of attacking football they play.
Can the Blues take advantage of the home atmosphere on a momentous occasion to jump into the lead and give the visitors an intimidating lead to chase?
