Brentford will be eager to rediscover winning form and build momentum heading into the final stretch of the season, having managed just one victory from their last five Premier League matches.

Since gameweek 19, only Arsenal and Manchester United have picked up more points than Everton, highlighting the impressive impact David Moyes has made during his second spell in charge.

Whispers Predicts: Brentford 1-1 Everton
Brentford ended a six-match winless run against Everton with a 4–2 victory in the reverse fixture, but given their recent dip in form, a closely fought draw at 3.30 looks a likely outcome.
Recent meetings between the two sides have generally been low-scoring affairs, making a correct score prediction of 1-1 at 7.00 an appealing long-shot option.
Igor Thiago was the standout performer in that reverse fixture with a hat-trick and now sits just one goal shy of 20 for the season, with bookmakers backing him to score anytime at odds of 2.63.
> Match result: Draw at 3.3 | Likelihood: Probable
> Igor Thiago to score anytime at 2.63 | Likelihood: Probable
> Correct score 1-1 at 7.0| Likelihood: Outsider
> BTTS - Yes at 1.8 | Likelihood: Possible
