The starting lineup for each team in their previous match in this tournament is provided.
Everton
The Liverpool side enters this game on a three-match winless streak in the league. They drew with Fulham (1-1) and West Ham (0-0) and lost to Southampton 0-1. Sean Dyche's men are in 16th place, just two points clear of the relegation zone. This low position is due to poor attacking stats – 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, 4 draws).
- No more than two goals have been scored in Everton's last five Premier League matches.
- The Liverpool side has yet to score at home in the first half of the current league season (5 matches).
Brentford
The Londoners secured a comeback victory against Bournemouth (3-2) in their last match. It was their fifth win in six home matches this Premier League season (with one draw). They are the best home team in the league. However, Thomas Frank's side is the worst on the road in the Premier League. Like Southampton, they have yet to earn a point away from home. In the standings, Brentford is in 11th place, just three points behind the top four.
- Both teams scored in the last nine league matches.
- At least three goals were scored in 8 of Brentford's last 9 Premier League matches.
- The London side opened the scoring in 7 of their last 9 Premier League games.
Everton vs. Brentford: Match Prediction
Despite Brentford's excellent home form, they struggle on the road. Besides failing to earn a point this season, they have lost 15 of their last 19 away league matches, with only three wins and one draw. I expect Brentford to continue struggling in this match, at best securing a draw.
Everton has only faltered against Southampton in the last two months. In the other six matches, they have not lost, aided by a favorable schedule, as they have not faced any top Premier League teams during this stretch. Sean Dyche's men are capable of handling Brentford, especially since they have lost only twice in their last 10 home league matches (6 wins, 2 draws). Notably, in the last four league meetings between the two sides, Everton has won three times, with one draw.
My prediction – Everton with a handicap (0)
