Brentford v Everton

Brentford vs Everton Preview

Having registered back-to-back wins away from home in the Premier League, mid-table hosts Brentford will now return to the home surroundings of their Gtech Community Stadium for this upcoming midweek clash against an in-form Everton outfit with The Bees looking to capture a third league win on the trot in the English top flight.

Everton could and should have picked up a fifth win in six games in the Premier League on Saturday at home against Manchester United as The Toffees held a seemingly comfortable 2-0 lead at Goodison Park before once again letting a lead slip and the merseyside club had to make do with just a point.

Brentford have recently collected impressive wins on the road at West Ham and Leicester City which have helped Thomas Frank's side maintain their comfortable mid-table position of 11th place in the Premier League table and had this upcoming fixture been just a few weeks ago, The Bees would have been confident in picking up a third win on the trot here.

However, their merseyside visitors have produced a turnaround in form under manager David Moyes and having picked up just four wins from their previous 11 matches overall, Brentford's prospects of a straight win on Wednesday night seem to hang in the balance.

Goals look likely though as there have been Over 2.5 goals in 18 out of Brentford's 26 matches overall so far in this season's Premier League campaign.

Everton threw away a 2-0 lead and indeed two points when The Toffees had to settle for a point in what became a 2-2 draw at home with Manchester United on Saturday but nevertheless this result extended Everton's unbeaten run in the domestic top flight to six games overall.

Four wins within their previous six games under returning manager David Moyes has helped lift The Toffees away from the relegation zone and up into a more respectable looking 14th place where they now hold a significant 14-point cushion between themselves and the bottom three clubs.

The bigger picture shows Everton have succumbed to just three defeats within their previous 13 matches overall in the Premier League along with picking up five wins in the process, while goals have returned to Everton's matches in recent times as well.

Indeed, Everton have scored in each of their last six matches and five of these previous six games have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals, so an entertaining and enthralling encounter is expected to unfold at the Gtech Community Stadium on Wednesday night as a result.
