Paul Merson predicts that Everton will find it difficult to win three points on Saturday, February 24, when they play Roberto de Zerbi and Brighton in the Premier League.
The Sky Sports analyst believes the Toffees will lose 3-0 to the Seagulls after being “shocked” by their performance against Crystal Palace on Monday, February 19.
Everton can put some distance between itself and Luton Town when the Hatters take on Manchester City in the FA Cup, capping an eight-game league losing streak.
In an article published on Thursday, February 22, he wrote for Sportskeeda. He wrote, “I was rather astonished to watch Everton last week—they were really awful against Crystal Palace.” The problem with this game is that Everton won this exact matchup 5-1 despite their lackluster performance the previous year. But they face challenges in this game, and I don’t think we’ll see the same thing as last season.
This weekend, Brighton needs to triumph just as much as Everton does. The manager must improve his club’s consistency if he hopes to get hired by a larger squad. Brighton is now too erratic.
“I thought that was a really dismal performance, and in the end, Everton was very fortunate to be playing against Palace.” In terms of mobility and passing, Brighton is the better team, so I’m going to support them to win this match.
Is Sean Dyche able to rescue Everton one more time?
After Frank Lampard saved the team from relegation on the final day of the 2021–2022 season, the current manager of the Toffees has already guided the team away from relegation.
Everton would be comfortably seated in the top half of the Premier League table, only five points behind, were it not for this season’s 10-point deduction for breaking the profit and sustainability criteria.

Under Sean Dyche, Everton have won eight Premier League games so far this year, but their performance has declined recently.
Unfortunately, that is not the case right now, and the Merseyside club will soon be in severe need of points. They are really in a difficult situation, four points behind Nottingham Forest and just one point above Luton, who are also in the relegation zone.
There have only been five goals scored in the last nine games across all competitions, which indicates how scarce goals have become. Regaining his goal-scoring form would be an excellent place to start if Dominic Calvert-Lewin were to make a significant shift at Goodison Park.
