Having failed to win any of their first three Premier League games against Brentford (D1 L2), Everton have now won each of their last three against the Bees.
Brentford haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last six away league games against Everton, failing to score themselves on four occasions in that run (W1 D0 L5).
Everton have lost only two of their last 10 Premier League games at Goodison Park (W6 D2), though this season it’s just one win in their opening five such games (D2 L2).
Brentford have lost all five of their Premier League away games this season; only in 1924-25 (9) and 1961-62 (9) have they ever lost each of their opening six or more away matches of a league campaign.
No side has failed to score in more different Premier League games this season than Everton (5), who could do so in three successive league games under Sean Dyche for the third time after August 2023 and January 2024.
Brentford have seen 44 goals scored across their 11 Premier League games so far this season (22 for, 22 against), the most of any side. Indeed, only Newcastle United in 1999-00 and Arsenal in 2011-12 have both scored and conceded 20+ goals in fewer games from the start of a campaign in the competition (10).
Only Crystal Palace (0.089) average a lower xG per shot than Everton (0.093) in the Premier League this season, while Brentford are the side with the highest xG per shot in 2024-25 (0.149).
Since the start of last season, Everton have a win percentage of 35% and have earned 1.3 points-per-game in the Premier League when Jarrad Branthwaite starts, compared to a 17% win percentage and 0.8 points-per-game without him in their starting XI. Indeed, they’ve lost just one of the last eight league games in which he has started (W5 D2).
Only Mohamed Salah (14), Erling Haaland (12), Cole Palmer (12) and Bukayo Saka (10) have been directly involved in more Premier League goals this season than Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo (9 – 8 goals, 1 assist), though he’s played more minutes without a goal involvement in the competition against Everton than any other side (528 – 13 shots, 5 chances created).
Brentford’s Yoane Wissa has scored seven goals from just 15 shots in the Premier League this season, with his conversion rate of 47% by far the highest of any player with at least five attempts so far.
