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.
