It is the eve of another Everton match against an opponent that, on paper, the Blues should be able to handle and get a point from, at least. Unfortunately, recent events indicate that their match-up with Brighton & Hove Albion this weekend will be anything but a walk in the park.
After hosting Brighton on Saturday, things get a lot tougher for Everton. Next week they head to Stoke City, a team fighting relegation, for what is always a difficult away fixture. Following the international break, the Toffees will host Manchester City and Liverpool in back-to-back weeks. It’s not unreasonable to think that Everton comes up with zero of a possible nine points in those three games.
For the sake of our sanity as fans, Everton need points against BHA tomorrow. One would be better than nothing, but three would be sublime.
