Adam Webster, Mats Wiefer and Solly March are all in the treatment room for the hosts, while Brajan Gruda will be given a late fitness test.

The stats
No side in the top-flight has drawn more games than Brighton (nine) this season.
Both teams have drawn two of their last three league games.
Both teams have scored in Brighton's last four outings in all competitions, while there have been goals at both ends in four of Everton's last five games.
The two clubs played out consecutive 1-1 draws in games played in November 2023 and February 2024 and since then Everton have won twice and Brighton once in the H2H record.

Prediction
Brighton and Everton have both been inconsistent lately and there may be little to choose between them on Saturday.
There are just three points and two places separating the Seagulls in 12th and the 10th-placed Toffees going into Saturday's meeting.
Everton earned a hard-fought draw at home to Leeds on Monday, to follow on from their fine 1-0 win at Aston Villa, but there is an air of frustration around the Blues that they remain stuck in mid-table.
Too many draws have hindered David Moyes' side this season and the same can be said of Brighton, who are probably a few places at least worse off in the table than would have been expected this term after last year's eighth-place finish.
Brighton are the favourites to come out on top and that is fair considering Fabian Hurzeler's side have lost just once at home in the top flight all season.
However, five draws also tells the story of a campaign that has failed to catch fire.
Everton's away form has been solid, with five wins on the road, suggesting the Toffees are more than capable of getting something from their trip south.
