Follow live coverage as Everton face Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League today.
Brighton’s World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister was named as a substitute at Goodison Park, just over 24 hours after returning from Argentina.
Fellow midfielder Moises Caicedo returned from suspension as one of three changes from the defeat to Arsenal, with forward Jeremy Sarmiento and Joel Veltman also coming in.
Everton manager Frank Lampard switched back to a four-man defence after the draw at Manchester City with Ben Godfrey being replaced by midfielder Tom Davies, while Dwight McNeil replaced the suspended Amadou Onana. Forward Ellis Simms was named on the bench after his early recall from a loan spell at Sunderland.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
The wall does its job from the free-kick, blocking March's free-kick.

Sarmiento is pushed to the floor by Gueye, with the referee taking a second before giving a free-kick. The hosts are annoyed, believing that Calvert-Lewin was fouled by Caicedo just a few seconds before.

McNeil looks to curl the ball into the box towards Calvert-Lewin, but Sanchez is there to punch it away.

OVER! Caicedo is in possession of the ball just outside the box, but is bundled to the floor by Mykolenko. With referee Andre Marriner about to give a free-kick, Ferguson collects possession before whistling a shot over.

Everton were the better side in the opening exchanges of the game, but the momentum has swung in favour of Brighton. They are dominating the game and are frustrating the home fans.

POST! Brighton could have scored again. It comes from the left wing, with Mitoma poking the ball towards Ferguson. Arriving in the middle, he shoots back across the goal but hits the bottom of the post.

Brighton have won their last two away Premier League games, beating Wolves and Southampton. It’s the seventh time the Seagulls have won consecutive away games since promotion in 2017 but they’ve never won three in a row in the Premier League or top-flight on the road. They have the lead in this game.
