Brighton and Everton are ready to add another page to the 100-year-old rivalry as they play at the Amex Stadium in Gameweek 24. The Seagulls, coming off a mixed run but showing strong home form, look to climb further up in the English Premier League table. Whereas Everton, under manager David Moyes, are battling to build the same momentum they had at the start of the 2025/26 season and also seeks to distance themselves from the lower positions.

Brighton & Hove Albion enjoy a slight edge at home, with recent results showing they either secure all three points or at least earn a draw at the Amex. Their attack remains a major threat to rivals, ranking among the best in the Premier League with players like Welbeck enjoying the form of their lives and featuring among the top strikers of the 2025/26 EPL season.

However, defensive issues continue to give Brighton a tough time as lapses at the back have often failed to support their attacking output, leaving the side exposed despite strong performances going forward.

The Toffees, who sit at 10th in the EPL, will rely on their strong defence and counter-attacks, featuring AFCON winner Iliman Ndiaye and others in form. Also, they have dominated the Brighton vs Everton head to head numbers with almost 2x wins of Brighton.

Given the form of both teams and the intensified battle for the domestic trophy and interesting match to watch is on the cards for football fans around the globe. Let's see how these teams have performed in the past against each other.
