Head to Head

Everton won the last clash between the pair in a 4-1 win in the FA Cup at Goodison Park. Before that, Brentford had taken all the points in a 1-0 win in the reverse of this fixture.

Everton Form

Everton have been a team renewed in recent weeks, winning two of their last three games and losing just one of their last six to escape the relegation zone.

A midweek 0-0 draw with Watford may be seen as points dropped, but it has edged them closer to survival.

The Toffees had recorded wins over Leicester and Chelsea prior to the draw with the Hornets.

Everton Team News

Everton are without Yerry Mina, Andros Townsend, Nathan Patterson, Fabian Delph and Donny van de Beek.

Ben Godfrey is rated doubtful.

Brentford Form

Brentford have been in good form to end the season with a 3-0 win over Southampton in their last match moving the Bees onto 43 points for the season so far and past the so-called magical total.

Thomas Frank's side have lost just one of their last six, recording wins over Chelsea, West Ham and Watford in that time.

Brentford Injuries

Zanka, Saman Ghoddos, Ethan Pinnock, Frank Onyeka and Sergi Canos all look set to miss out on the trip to Goodison Park.
