Each team's starting lineup from their last match in this tournament is provided.
Everton
The Merseysiders approach this game on a run of three consecutive winless matches in the league. The club drew with Fulham (1-1) and West Ham (0-0), and lost to Southampton 0-1. Sean Dyche's side sits in 16th place, just two points above the relegation zone. Their low position is largely due to poor attacking performance, with only 10 goals scored. Only two teams in the Premier League have scored fewer.
- The club has not lost in 6 of their last 7 Premier League matches (2 wins and 4 draws).
- No more than two goals have been scored in Everton's last five Premier League matches.
- The Merseysiders have yet to score at home in the first half of this season's league (5 matches).
Brentford
The Londoners secured a comeback victory over Bournemouth (3-2) in their last match. This was their fifth win in six home games this Premier League season (one draw). At home, the club is the best in the league. However, away from home, Thomas Frank's side is the worst in the Premier League. Like Southampton, they have yet to earn a point on the road. Brentford is in 11th place, just three points behind the top four.
- Both teams have scored in the last nine league matches.
- At least three goals have been scored in 8 of Brentford's last 9 Premier League matches.
- The Londoners have opened the scoring in 7 of their last 9 Premier League games.
Everton vs. Brentford: Match Prediction
Despite Brentford's excellent home form, they face significant challenges on the road. Not only have they yet to earn a point this season, but they have also lost 15 of their last 19 away league matches, with only three wins and one draw. I anticipate that Brentford will struggle in this encounter, with a draw being their best possible outcome.
Everton has only faltered once in the past two months, in their match against Southampton. In the other six matches, the club remained unbeaten, aided by a favorable schedule that did not include top Premier League teams. Sean Dyche's side should be capable of handling Brentford, especially since they have lost only twice in their last 10 home Premier League matches (6 wins and 2 draws). Additionally, Everton has won three of the last four league meetings with Brentford, with one draw.
My prediction – Everton with a handicap (0)
