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.

DAZN subscribers can watch every single Premier League game in 2021/22 – and it gets better. If you pick up a fuboTV subscription for the games not on Peacock Premium, you'll be able to watch every game. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. There was a time when Brentford were starting to look nervously over their shoulder, but Thomas Frank has done a superb job in pulling them clear of trouble in recent months. Two of their final three games this season are at Goodison, where they have been reasonably strong throughout the campaign: Everton sit 11th in the Premier League home table, but only Norwich have accrued fewer points on the road. But a win that afternoon kick-started a revival which has seen Frank Lampard’s side take seven points from the last nine on offer.
Key home game for the Blues in battle for safety.
Gordon will take it himself, taken low and Richarlison gets a boot to it and it dribbles across the goal and into the far post!!! 31’ - Richy is down after a collision, and the Blues are down to nine men as Brentford play on. 24’ - Everton are now settling into a 4-4-1 formation, with Holgate and Coleman as the centrehalves, and Mykolenko and Iwobi as fullbacks. Incredible scenes here at Goodison, and even more incredibly the ref is not going to VAR there for the foul on Richarlison first?? Calvert-Lewin looks revitalized and is making a huge impact on this game. The Blues got off to a perfect start with that Calvert-Lewin goal, but then it all goes wrong with young Branthwaite sent off and the own goal. Now Myko gives away a corner tackling Mbeumo. Eriksen to take, hits it long, back into the box. Richarlison has given the Blues life again though and will batten the hatches in the second half. Eriksen dips it towards Pickford, the goalie does very well to beat it away in the face of pressure from Brentford players. 80’ - Everton are just sitting back in a defensive shell without the ball, but have been unable to really hold the ball when they do get it. 62’ - Gordon blocks a Henry cross, corner on the Everton right. Eriksen takes, low, Wissa beats Richy and gets his head to if first, it loops over Pickford and into the far post, 2-2, just like that.

Everton led twice against Brentford but finished with nine men and their fight for Premier League survival continues after the Bees' fightback.
On the follow-up, Richarlison is there with a header from close range, and he should arguably score, but sends the ball wide! 1 min: Everton start the match on the front foot. Brentford deal with a low cut-back from the byline and then embark on another foray into the hosts’ half. Everton seem to be able to deal with it, with Andre Gomes in position to intercept, although he only manages to divert the ball to Jensen, who cracks a shot wide from close range. 26 min: Brentford stroke the ball around in midfield before working it forwards to Wissa, up front. As it stands, Everton are staying up, but Eriksen is showing some lovely touches in midfield, and the hosts will have a massive amount of defending to do after the break. It was Sorensen who caught the Brazilian after a totally speculative ball was hoicked into the Brentford area. Richarlison pauses before hitting his penalty ... and strokes it high and into the centre of the net after the goalie dives to his own right. It was a cross-shot by Eriksen, and it could easily have flicked off a forward or a defender and levelled it up ... but the England goalkeeper does well. That was emotional – and well done to Brentford on another vibrant performance and another three points in the bag. Henry leaps high and handsome, above Gordon, and plants a brilliant header into the back of the net. Five minutes ago Everton were in position to secure their safety ... now they are heading back into the teeth of a relegation fight.
