Latest Brentford vs Everton team information

Brentford were without centre-back Sepp van den Berg for their trip to Leicester City, but the timely return of Ethan Pinnock helped the manager solve the difficult problem, and the Jamaican was reunited with Nathan Collins in the centre of defence.

Having returned from injury less than six weeks ago, Mathias Jensen has been sidelined again with an adductor injury and is expected to be out until next month. He joins Brentford’s already long injury list, which includes Aaron Hickey, Rico Henry, Josh Dasilva and Igor Thiago.

Christian Norgaard, who scored Brentford's third goal at the King Power, was surprisingly substituted in the first half. Manager Thomas Frank revealed that the Dane was ill and his availability for the upcoming match was in doubt.

Likewise, compatriot Jesper Lindstrom was also forced off with a medical in the game against Everton the following day and is also a doubt. This adds to Brentford’s personnel woes, with the visitors severely lacking quality options on either flank with Iliman Ndiaye and Dwight McNeil both suffering knee injuries.

For Everton, the surprise return of Abdoulaye Doucoure to the starting line-up against Man United surprised many. He was picked to replace Carlos Alcaraz, who had scored and assisted in the win over Crystal Palace. However, Doucoure proved his worth with an impressive first-half performance on Saturday.

Beto's brilliant form continued as he continued to score over the weekend. With this goal, he became the first Everton player since Richarlison four years ago to score in four consecutive Premier League games. This shows that the injury absence of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Armando Broja has not affected the Toffees' attacking strength too much.

Latest Brentford vs Everton football commentary

A convincing win over Leicester City in the Premier League on Friday night gave Brentford a huge boost as they look to secure European football next season.

The win moved Brentford up to 11th in the table, just two points off the top eight. Although Aston Villa later won to extend the gap to five points, Brentford still have a game in hand.

Brentford are in impressive form away from home, winning four games in a row. However, they will need to regain their confidence when they return to their "holy land" Gtech Community Stadium.

In mid-December, Brentford boasted the best home record in the league, with the most wins (7), points (22) and goals scored (26). But in the last two months, they have picked up just one point from a possible 15, and that came from a dramatic late comeback draw against Manchester City.

Frank's side have also struggled in the spotlight, particularly against Everton. Brentford are yet to win any midweek Premier League games (D3 L4) and have gone five games without a win against their upcoming opponents.

The hosts completed a double over Everton in their first season in the Premier League (2021-22), but have failed to beat them since, despite picking up a crucial point at Goodison Park earlier in the season, in a game where they played more than half the time with just 10 men.

Although a draw is not what Everton wanted, they have kept a clean sheet in three of their last four meetings with Brentford, all of which have taken place at Goodison Park. In addition, the Toffees have also conceded just one goal in their last three away trips to Gtech Community Stadium.

Everton pulled off a shock 3-1 win at Gtech Community Stadium last season, their first win of the 2023-24 season, and they will be keen to make up for the disappointment of a 2-2 draw at home to Manchester United last weekend, where they were denied a win.

David Moyes' side dominated the Red Devils in the first half and took a 2-0 lead. However, a poor second-half display gave Manchester United the chance to equalise in the dying minutes. Everton had also been denied a penalty in injury time following a controversial VAR review, drawing criticism from pundits and former referees.

However, a point against Man United also helped Everton extend their unbeaten run to 6 Premier League matches. Remarkably, they have won more points than any other team in this period.

Everton have scored at least two goals in each of their four home games under David Moyes, the first time in eight years that the Toffees have achieved such an impressive feat. They have also found stability in defence, with their four lowest xG-conceded figures all coming under David Moyes' management.

Even when playing away from home, David Moyes has had a positive impact, winning his last two away games against Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace respectively. The visiting manager will be looking to reverse a recent negative statistic, Everton have not won any of their 15 Premier League away games at night.
