Grealish starts as Toffees begin life at new stadium


Everton and Brighton have confirmed their starting XIs for their Premier League clash at the brand-new Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday.

The Toffees’ new home stages a Premier League game for the first time as David Moyes’ men look to start as they mean to go on and bounce back from last week’s defeat at Leeds with a victory.

Brighton, meanwhile, were pegged back by a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw against Fulham last weekend and as a result are also searching for their first three points of the season.

Check out all the confirmed team news for the 2pm kick-off below.

Everton confirmed line-up

The big news for Everton is that loan signing Jack Grealish is named in the starting after his debut as a subtitute against Leeds following his move from Manchester City.

New signing Thierno Barry also makes his full Toffees, starting up front in place of Beto who is named on the bench.

Everton confirmed XI: Pickford, O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Garner, Iroegbunam, Gueye, Ndiaye, Grealish, Dewsbury-Hall, Barry

Brighton confirmed line-up

Brighton are without forward and last week’s goalscorer Georginio Rutter, with Danny Welbeck starting up front. The striker will be supported by Kaoru Mitoma, Yakuba Minteh and Matt O’Riley in attack.

Brighton XI: Verbruggen, Wieffer, De Cuyper, Dunk, Van Hecke, Ayari, Baleba, O’Riley, Minteh, Mitoma, Welbeck
