Brighton & Hove Albion will host Everton in an important 2020-21
English Premier League match for both clubs for different reasons on Monday evening.
The Seagulls opened the scoring at Old Trafford but were unable to make it three wins on the spin as they ultimately succumbed to a 2-1 loss to Manchester United last weekend.
The result left Brighton in 16th spot on the league standings and six points above the relegation zone with eight matches remaining.
Everton are without a Premier League win in three matches following a 1-1 draw at home to Crystal Palace which further dented their hopes of qualifying for European football.
"I think the position in Europe is still there because we're in the fight and we have a game in hand," said Toffees boss Carlo Ancelotti, whose team go into matchday 31 in eighth spot on the league standings.
"But we have to be more focused in this situation -- when you deserve to win, you have to win. The reason (for the result) was we weren't able to kill the game when we had the opportunity.
"We had a lot of chances and usually in the last games our strikers in those situations were really clinical ... We deserved to win, we lost points for our mistakes. We were not unlucky."
Everton claimed a 4-2 win over Brighton at Goodison Park in the reverse fixture earlier this season with a James Rodriguez brace leading the hosts to victory.
