Everton and Brighton go head to head in the first game of the season in the brand spanking new Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The stadium will play host to its first Premier League match for the Toffees after they switched from Goodison Park and supporters will be as optimistic as ever to get off to a good start.
Everton lost 1-0 to Leeds United last weekend on the opening day so improvements will have to be made for David Moyes’ side if they are to get themselves off the mark.
Brighton drew 1-1 with Fulham despite having victory all-but in hand before a 97th minute Rodrigo Muniz leveller changed the outcome.
It could be an intriguing 90 or so minutes of football.
Leading bookmakers have Everton at a surprising 2/1 to win the game while the Seagulls are at 13/10 to spoil the party.

Everton win @ 2/1
Any team sitting at 2/1 odds to win a Premier League match would usually suggest poor form, a slew of injuries or other issues.
For Everton it was just an uncharacteristic performance last week with a lack of cutting edge for the most part. We suspect the new stadium feel and desire to put last weekend right will play a part.
Brighton as opponents only managed a draw of their own so should not be over-confident. Good odds for an Everton win.
Beto 1+ shots on target @ 3/10
The forward should start up top for his side and testing goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen should be the bare minimum for him on a monumental day for the club.
The odds reflect he has a good chance of doing so and it adds to our treble.
Everton most cards @ 6/5
The Toffees’ squad picked up 82 cards between them last season which is a good run of both yellows and reds for the Premier League campaign.
Overexuberance at home mixed with the desperation to win for the home crowd could see Moyes’s boys get careless.
