Everton v Brentford: match preview

Everton v Brentford
Everton v Brentford: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

Frank Lampard started his reign at Goodison Park with a win over Brentford and could finish the job of securing the club’s Premier League status with another, providing Leeds do not beat Brighton earlier in the day. Thomas Frank’s side are much improved since that FA Cup meeting in February, however, with Christian Eriksen helping to inspire a run of six wins in nine league games, while by Lampard’s admission Everton looked tired in their goalless draw at Watford in midweek. Goodison will again hope to spark an uplift with two home games remaining to avoid relegation. Andy Hunter
