    Brighton 0-0 Everton

    Oh there we have it, the first shot.

    Neal Maupay latches onto a long ball over the top, bringing it down on the left of the box before going for the half volley, but it's well over and Jordan Pickford barely has to move a muscle.

    Brighton 0-0 Everton

    Ten minutes played and we're yet to have a shot in this game.

    Theo Walcott is looking very energetic so far, though he's just been pulled up for a clear offside.

    Brighton 0-0 Everton

    Everton pushing hardest so far, but both teams happy to sit back and pass the ball around in these early stages.

    A couple of challenges in and around the centre circle from both, first Theo Walcott bringing down Lewis Dunk then Steven Alzate clattering into Tom Davies.

    Everton got a much-needed win over West Ham last week but they are usually pretty poor on the road. So I am going to go with a Seagulls win.

    Brighton fans, don't blame me if I'm wrong.

    Prediction: 2-1

    • Brighton could secure their first back-to-back victories against Everton, having won 1-0 in this fixture last season. It was their first triumph against the Toffees since 1982.
    • Everton have not won at Brighton since a 2-1 top-flight victory in 1983.
    • The Seagulls have won just three of their 15 fixtures with Everton in all competitions (D5, L7), with every win coming at home.

    Side by side in the table, one point between them. These teams have had similar starts to the season.

    Each has had one standout performance in recent weeks. Brighton beat Tottenham 3-0 before the international break, their first home win of the season. Everton got their first win in four attempts last weekend at the expense of West Ham. Now Marco Silva is looking for a first league away win since March.

    This game could be decided by a free-kick or a corner; Brighton's Pascal Gross and Everton's Gylfi Sigurdsson have been the top two creators of chances from set-pieces in the Premier League over the past two seasons.

    Just one point separates Brighton and Everton going into today's match on the south coast as they continue to hover above the relegation zone.

    It's been bucketing it down outside BBC Sport HQ in Salford for a good 24 hours now, and a quick look at the weather forecast tells me it's only slightly better in Brighton.

    Perfect conditions for football then, hey?
