ℹ️ Team News: Everton

Armando Broja (Achilles tendon problems), Chermiti (Foot injury) and Séamus Coleman (unknown injury) won’t be available for Everton gaffer Sean Dyche.

It’s our opinion that The Toffees may well employ a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one and select Jordan Pickford, Ashley Young, James Tarkowski, Jarrad Branthwaite, Vitalii Mykolenko, Idrissa Gana Gueye, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Jesper Lindstroem, Dwight McNeil, Iliman Ndiaye and D. Calvert-Lewin.

🗞️ Team News: Brentford

Brentford manager Thomas Frank has to choose a team with limited availability. Kristoffer Ajer (Foot injury), Gustavo Nunes (Back injury), Rico Henry (Muscle injury), Igor Thiago (Meniscus injury), Josh Dasilva (Knee surgery) and Aaron Hickey (Hamstring injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We reckon that The Bees could decide to elect for a 4-3-3 lineup, going with Mark Flekken, Sepp van den Berg, Nathan Collins, Ethan Pinnock, Vitaly Janelt, Mathias Jensen, Christian Noergaard, Mikkel Damsgaard, Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa and Keane Lewis-Potter.

🔮 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Brentford should get enough chances to score against this Everton side, although it is unlikely to be enough to avoid a loss.

We think that it’s going to be both teams to score in a 2-1 advantage for Everton at the end of the match. It should be a decent one.
