Club football is set for resumption now after the November international football break. That means it’s time for one of the most popular leagues in the world, the English Premier League to take to the road again. In a couple of days, matchday 12 is set to begin, and among all the games this week, the Everton vs Brentford game is ought to be an interesting one.
Everton FC had a start in the Premier League, which they will wish to forget once they take the field again. They have had a disappointing first 11 games, losing five of them, drawing four, and winning just a couple. They have been a bit better in the last few weeks, and are slowly gaining confidence. In the last seven, they only lost one and even won two.
Brentford FC have been a lot better than what was expected from them. In their 11 games, they clinched five wins, a draw, a lost five too. They have 16 points and are sitting at the 11th spot, with a perfect balance in attack and defence, having scored and faced both 22 goals. Both sides should aim for a full three points to bag in this one, only to better the case.

Key Players to Watch in Everton vs Brentford
Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton)
The striker has started in all games for Everton FC but has lacked the prowess in many. He struggled to take shots, and keeping them on target was rare. With just two goals and an assist in 11 games, he really needs to see the back of the net soon. For the last seven games, he has no goal contributions for Everton FC. Now, after this short break, we should expect a fresh start and better form from him. His goals will help the club convert draws to wins.
Vitaly Janelt (Brentford)
The 26-year-old German defensive midfielder has been the pivot of the team. His off-the-ball movements, together with his soft passes have often changed games for the club silently. He has even provided three assists and scored a goal in the last five PL games. If he controls the midfield well against Everton FC, it should be tough to penetrate the defence line.
Everton vs Brentford Prediction
Both Everton and Brentford FC have equally poised squads, so a close game is expected. However, looking at the historical record, a draw would be an unlikely prediction. Everton FC are speculated to win this one, by the thinnest of margins, owing to home support.
Predicted Score: Everton 2-1 Brentford
