Everton Hosts Brighton in EPL Season Opener
Everton kicks off its final season at Goodison Park this Saturday by hosting Brighton and Hove Albion in the English Premier League. This historic ground has been home to the Toffees for 132 years, and there’s a lot riding on this match as they aim for a better finish than last season.
The pressure is on manager Sean Dyche and his team, especially since they’ve flirted with relegation in recent years. Everton barely managed to avoid dropping down last season and finished 15th in the league.
Brighton, on the other hand, has a new manager, Fabian Hurzeler, who is making his debut today. At just 31 years old, he’s the youngest permanent manager in Premier League history, taking over from Roberto De Zerbi. The Seagulls are hoping to bounce back after a disappointing finish last season, where they ended up tied for 11th place.
Today’s kickoff is set for 10 a.m. ET, which means it’s an exciting early start for football fans across the US and Canada. Fans can catch the match live, but those in the UK might face some challenges due to broadcast restrictions.
