    Brighton just have to stay in their lane. I think the bottom three is done and dusted. If Brighton can get a result tonight it will further cement their place absolutely out of it.

    Brighton v Everton (20:15 BST)

    Brighton boss Graham Potter to Sky Sports: "Lots of football to play and points to play for. We know we are still fighting. That's the approach and it doesn't change.

    "They [Everton] have ways to attack all over the pitch so we have to be good defensively."

    Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti: "[Dominic Calvert-Lewin] had a little problem on his abductor. This morning he was not comfortable so I prefer to leave him out. Same with Allan and Andre Gomes, they are not 100% but will be available for the next game.

    "Our target is to be there [in European places]. We have to show our desire and strong ambition to be in Europe next season. Brighton have the target to avoid relegation so I'm sure it will be an exciting game."

  4. 'Another big test for Brighton'published at 20:03 British Summer Time 12 April 2021

    Brighton v Everton (20:15 BST)

    Mark Lawrenson
    BBC football expert

    Brighton played really well at Old Trafford for long periods but still somehow ended up empty-handed - the second time that has happened to them this season against Manchester United.

    The Seagulls are still six points above the relegation zone but they should really have a lot more breathing space on the back of their recent performances.

    This is another big test for them because Everton appear a totally different proposition on the road compared to at Goodison Park, where they keep dropping points.

    Even a draw would be a good result for Brighton in their current situation but they really need to get something out of this one, whether they play well or not.

    Prediction: 1-1

    Brighton v Everton (20:15 BST)

    Everton can do the league double over Brighton for only the second time, having managed it in 1980-81.

    The Toffees' most recent top-flight away victory in this fixture came at the Goldstone Ground in April 1983.

    Sam Johnstone and Sammy Lee were jumping for joy at that save. A clean sheet crucial for them.

    James Ward-Prowse has another go from a free-kick now but he curls it over the bar. Not happening for him.

    West Brom 3-0 Southampton

    The good news is Ainsley Maitland-Niles is back on his feet and walking over to the touchline.

    They have done a lengthy check to make sure he's okay. Looks like he will carry on.

    West Brom have got a few players down though. Semi Ajayi was getting ready to come on for Dara O'Shea but Ainsley Maitland-Niles looks in trouble here. He fell very awkwardly and they have got a stretcher out. Bit of concern from the medical staff.

    Southampton break with pace on the right. Nathan Redmond plays in Che Adams but his shot across goal flies wide of the far post.
