Everton FC vs Brighton & Hove Albion History

The Toffees were a force to be reckoned with in the first half of the 20th century, having collected the First Division title five times and the FA Cup twice pre-WWII.

Everton enjoyed a sustained period of success in the 1960s and the Merseysiders reemerged in the 80s under then-manager Howard Kendall.

Brighton & Hove Albion, on the other hand, do not boast many achievements from the past. Come the end of the 2022/23 season, the Seagulls had yet to win a major (first tier) trophy since the 1912 Charity Shield.

Brighton succumbed to relegation to the Second Division in 1983 and they would not face Everton again for another 34 years. However, a quick ascension into the Premier League and a clear hunger to compete with the best teams in the league puts Brighton in good stead to lift trophies in the coming years.

Shane Duffy and Neal Maupay are a couple of notable players who have represented both the Toffees and the Seagulls.

Duffy, a product of the Everton Academy, left Merseyside for Blackburn Rovers in 2014. The Northern Ireland defender later signed for the Seagulls and he remained on their books for seven years until 2023.

In January 2023, Maupay moved from the south coast to Merseyside for a transfer fee in the region of £15m.

Everton FC vs Brighton & Hove Albion Head-to-Head

Everton and Brighton met for the first time in the 1913 FA Cup. This Second Round tie required a replay at Goodison Park, which the hosts won by a single goal to nil.

As mentioned, the teams had gone many years without an on-field meeting. In 2017, Brighton achieved promotion to the Premier League for the first time after more than three decades away from the top flight.

In January 2023, Brighton earned a resounding 4-1 win at Goodison Park, 12 months after a 3-2 victory at the same venue.
