Everton are set to play host to Brentford in a 5:30 pm BST Premier League clash on Saturday, April 27.
Everton’s Premier League points deduction means they head into the meeting below the Bees in the table but are 7/5 favourites to secure the win this weekend, while Brentford are 19/10 to come away with the three points.
Both sides go into the game knowing their top-flight survival will be confirmed for another campaign if they pick up the win.
Everton vs Brentford
Everton’s Premier League campaign has been hampered by issues off the field, with a points deduction seeing them slip into the bottom three earlier this year. However, Sean Dyche’s side have lost just one of their last five Premier League outings, most recently picking up a massive 2-0 win over bitter rivals Liverpool on Wednesday.
This run of form means Everton are now eight points from the relegation zone ahead of the weekend’s action and will maintain their record of never being relegated from the Premier League if they beat Thomas Frank’s side on Saturday.
Premier League Relegation: Current Standings
- 15th - Brentford Pld 34 - Pts 35
- 16th - Everton Pld 34 - Pts 33
- 17th - Nottingham Forest Pld 34 - Pts 26
---------------------------------------------
- 18th - Luton Pld 34 - Pts 25
- 19th - Burnley - Pld 34 - Pts 23
- 20th - Sheffield United Pld 34 - Pts 16
As shown in the table above, Brentford are in an even better position when it comes to avoiding relegation this season. A nine-game winless run earlier in the campaign finally came to an end following the return of Ivan Toney. The London outfit are now unbeaten in their last five, most recently putting five past Luton on April 20 to go 10 points clear of the drop zone with four to play.
In turn, it would take a serious collapse on the Bees’ part to go down this season, but stranger things have happened.
