Everton fixtures compared to Leicester, Leeds & Nottm Forest after smashing Brighton
Everton fans might not have expected the best from their trip to the south coast, but they were treated to an absolute Sean Dyche masterclass.
The Toffees were supreme in their 5-1 win over Brighton at the AMEX on Monday night, going ahead in just 34 seconds as both Abdoulaye Doucoure and Dwight McNeil netted braces alongside Jason Steele's own goal.
It's a huge result for Everton, lifting them out of the relegation zone and placing Leicester into deeper trouble.
How how the fixtures line up for Dyche and his squad compared to relegation rivals Leicester, Leeds and Nottingham Forest.

Everton were firm outside bets in their clash with Brighton, but they were dominant throughout in the 5-1 thrashing of the Seagulls.
It's a crucial win for the Toffees, giving them hope of staying up ahead of their final three fixtures of the season. They next host Manchester City, who are gunning for a Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup treble, at Goodison Park.
Any sort of result against Pep Guardiola's side would be an incredible bonus before clashes with Wolves and Bournemouth that will decide whether or not Dyche's squad stay up.

It's tough to know where Leicester's next point is going to come from, let alone their next win.
Up next they face a Liverpool side that has won their last six league games and then visit Newcastle, who will be wrapping up Champions League qualification and trying to finish third.
They'll hope to still be in with a shout of staying up on the final day when they host West Ham, who have pulled away from the bottom three and are now concentrating on their Europa Conference League semi final tie with AZ Alkmaar.
