Everton and Brentford will cap off a limited Premier League slate Sunday, and I believe the wrong team is favored.
In its last five fixtures against bottom-half sides outside the relegation zone, manager Frank Lampard’s side is 1-4-0 (W-L-D) and is conceding 1.44 expected goals per 90 minutes. This is also a Brentford side that has proven capable of winning points against bottom-half sides. Although Everton is still in the midst of a relegation battle, Brentford has proven the far better side of late.

Brentford have been growing into the game and make their pressure tell with an equaliser which has gone down as an own goal by Coleman. Toney flashed the ball across goal and the chance seemed to have gone. Henry was energetic, working hard to get up and down the pitch and got his just deserves with the decisive goal. Everton have two games to secure their Premier League status, starting with the visit of Crystal Palace to Goodison Park on Thursday evening.

Gordon refused to track Henry and Iwobi stood and watched as Henry headed the ball back the direction it came and in to the net. There was still a chance for Brentford to grab a fourth when Dasilva crossed for Henry at the far post. A cross from Dasilva was cleared as far as Henry, but his shot lacked the power to trouble Pickford. Dasilva then darted forward as part of a four-on-three break and fed Mbeumo, but the shot flew well over. Eriksen bent a shot wide for The Bees and Everton could have levelled when Doucouré met a header at the far post, but he could not hit the target. Eriksen lifted it in with his near post and Wissa flicked a header out of the reach of Pickford and in to the far corner. Wissa timed his run perfectly and the header arced in to the far corner to level the match. Everton sat deeper and deeper and the breakthrough came. It only went as far as Jensen and Everton were able to get defenders in place to block the shot. It almost got worse just after the break when Richarlison got away on the left and smashed a cross-cum-shot across the face of goal. He found Jensen, who opened up Everton with a pass to Toney. The ball flew across the face of goal and when Wissa smashed it back across, it flicked off Séamus Coleman and flew past Jordan Pickford. The game slowed down a fraction after the goal and Brentford started to build some possession. The hosts forced Brentford to play much of the first 15 minutes in their own half and profited when The Bees made errors.
