Brighton & Hove Albion are gearing up for their upcoming match against Everton with both anticipation and concern. The team will be facing Everton at the Amex on Saturday, kick-off 3 pm, and the stakes are high. With two wins in their last three Premier League fixtures, Brighton & Hove Albion are looking to secure a third victory in four matches. However, the team’s preparation is marred by the uncertainty surrounding Kaoru Mitoma’s availability due to a back injury. Manager Roberto De Zerbi has also confirmed Julio Enciso’s inclusion in the matchday squad, providing a glimmer of hope amidst the injury concerns.

Reflecting on the team’s recent form, wins over Crystal Palace and Sheffield United have propelled Roberto De Zerbi’s team to seventh place in the Premier League standings. On the other hand, Everton finds themselves outside the relegation zone, with goal difference being the only thing keeping them afloat. The upcoming match promises to be a fiercely contested battle, with both teams eager to secure a crucial victory.

Looking back at their previous encounters, Brighton & Hove Albion managed to secure a point in their clash with Everton at Goodison Park in November, thanks to a late deflected strike from Kaoru Mitoma. However, the upcoming match presents a fresh challenge, with Everton’s James Tarkowski emerging as a player to watch. The Everton skipper has been a consistent presence on the field, having not missed a single minute of Premier League action so far this campaign.

As the anticipation builds for the clash at the Amex, fans are eagerly awaiting updates on Kaoru Mitoma’s fitness and the team’s overall readiness. The match holds significant importance for both teams, and the outcome is poised to have a notable impact on their respective positions in the Premier League standings.
