Everton boss Marco Silva says they need real spirit against Brighton.

Silva is cautioning his team to be on its guard against an on-song Brighton, who boast one of the division's form strikers in six-goal Englishman Glenn Murray.

"They are a good team, with good organisation, strong on set-pieces and with a striker in a very good moment as well," Silva told evertontv.

“It will be a tough game, for sure… a game where we believe we will need some special creativity in our attack.

“Some of our players will need to do different things within our model and the structure we have planned for the match.

“We need this type of creativity and for the players to make good decisions in attack, [to execute] the right moves in the right moments to achieve what we want – which is to create chances and for our attacking line to be dangerous."
