Overview
Everton have been in a completely transformative spell since manager David Moyes took charge. Everton from the relegation zone have now approached the mid-table. After the defeat on his debut against Aston Villa, Moyes has helped Everton stay unbeaten in the last 6 rounds, including 4 wins.
Everton will have the opportunity to extend their winning streak when visiting Brentford. Thomas Frank's side have won three of their last five games, all of them away from home.
At home, they are playing very badly, having lost 4 and drawn 1 in their last 5 matches. This was a surprising result, because before that, Brentford had won 7 and drawn 1 every time they played at Gtech Community.
This is a good sign for Everton, because their away form has improved significantly recently. In Everton's last five away games, Everton have won two, drawn two and lost one.
The history of the head-to-head is also in Moyes's side, with Everton winning three and drawing two in their last five meetings with the Bees. Meeting the unstable Brentford is a good opportunity for The Toffees to continue their unbeaten streak.
Everton striker Beto has regained his scoring form, with five goals in his last four Premier League appearances. He is expected to continue to score against Brentford.
Meanwhile, Bryan Mbeumo is a notable striker for Brentford. The striker has scored five goals in his last eight Premier League games for the Bees.
Personnel situation
Brentford will not have the services of Rico Henry, Gustavo Nunes, Igor Thiago, Sepp van den Berg, Josh Dasilva and Mathias Jensen. They are likely to keep the same lineup with Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo leading the attack.
On the other side of the front line, Everton also face significant injury concerns, with Dwight McNeil, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Seamus Coleman, Orel Mangala and Iliman Ndiaye all sidelined. With limited squad depth, The Toffees also do not have many quality replacements.
Expected lineup:
Brentford: Flekken, Ajer, Collins, Pinnock, Lewis- Potter, Norgaard, Janelt, Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Schade, Wissa.
Everton: Pickford, O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Garner, Gueye, Lindstrom, Doucoure, Harrison, Beto.
The match between Brentford and Everton takes place at 2:30 am on February 27 (Vietnam time).
