Jarrad Branthwaite concern emerges as Everton tipped to expose big Brighton problem

Everton made it two wins in a week when they overcame Burnley in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.

The 3-0 victory over Vincent Kompany's side came just days after Everton picked up a 1-0 win over West Ham United at the London Stadium. The Blues have now won five of their last seven games in all competitions.

Kenwright died last week, aged 78, after illness, and his partner Jenny Seagrove, daughter Lucy, and former Everton player, manager, and friend Joe Royle laid wreaths in the centre circle before kick-off as a period of applause was held.

Everton will face Fulham in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup. However, before that fixture, the Blues welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Goodison on Saturday. And with both games in mind, our fan jury have had their say.
