English Premier League: Saturday’s rodeo starts off with a bang – Matchday 30
Yet another encounter involving two teams who sit one above the other on the Premier League table – we have Brighton boasting 10th place and Everton 11th place.
Both teams sit on 34 points, a point above the next team, Bournemouth. A win for either could see either team take Watford out of ninth place.
Both cannot drop below 12th place, but can put worry on themselves with late problems of having to fight for survival if they lose out on a point, or three.

Most importantly, Brighton goes into this one as favourites. They’ve been unbeaten in their last five, beating Arsenal in the process. Everton lost their last against Burnley and must look to return to winning ways.
Match time: 15:00 GMT; 17:00 CAT; 10:00 EST
Venue: Goodison Park
Score prediction: Everton 1-2 Brighton
Huddersfield vs. Swansea City
Swansea City has been the far better team, but also the team with the easier run out the two. Huddersfield afore their Swans meeting played, Man United, Liverpool, and Spurs, losing all three fixtures.
However, when coming up against any team playing to beat the drop zone – they’ve been more than convincing. Wagner has won two of his last five and can take that, including playing at home as the positives for his team.

Another two teams unable to draw a point, but anything can help. A loss equals the drop – relying on other fixtures going on around the country.
Will be interesting to see if anybody will win this fixture.
