Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Monday’s clash between Brighton and Everton will bring down the curtain on the Premier League round 31. The Seagulls aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Manchester United, with the team eyeing their only third home win of the process. Brighton are eager to escape the danger zone, but the game against Everton will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. All Tau, Lamptey, and March are out of contention through injuries.
The Toffees, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace, with the Eagles scoring a late equalizer at Goodison Park. Everton are eager to move closer to the Europa League berth, and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. In the first half of the season Everton defeated Brighton 4-2. Bernard, Delph, and Doucoure are all sidelined with injuries, but Andre Gomes should be fit to face the Seagulls.
Highlighted Player (Davy Pröpper):
Born in Arnhem, Netherlands on September 2, 1991, Davy Propper is a Dutch footballer who plays for Brighton in the Premier League as a midfielder. Propper is a product of Vitesse football school and you should know that he scored 18 goals in 142 appearances for his hometown club in the Eredivisie.

Davy Propper has established himself as a first-team regular at Brighton and, to make things even better for him, he represented Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League. His main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing as both attacking and defensive midfielder as well.

Highlighted Team (Everton):
Everton are one of the two Merseyside giants that were formed back in 1878, with the club holding a long-standing rivalry with Liverpool. Everton have participated in the English top flight for a record 113 seasons, with the team competing in the English second tier in just four campaigns.

The Toffees have clinched five FA Cup trophies as well and it has to be noted that a victory over Manchester United in the 1994/1995 FA Cup final helped the team win their last title in the prestigious competition. Everton and Liverpool face each other in the Merseyside derby and the clash between the two local rivals has been called the Merseyside derby since 1955.
In the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign Everton were hammered by Liverpool (0-4) at Anfield.
