Everton v Brentford: Premier League – live
All but mathematically safe from relegation on the back of a midweek derby win that almost certainly smithereened the title hopes of their bitter rivals Liverpool, Everton’s players, manager and fans are likely to be in an extremely jubilant mood at Goodison Park this evening. They welcome a Brentford side who will be in similarly upbeat mood, having guaranteed themselves another season in the top flight with their emphatic win over Luton Town last Saturday.
Whether or not Everton’s players will be able to scale similarly dizzy heights to those of Wednesday night against significantly less exalted and loathed opposition remains to be seen and Brentford’s players arrive having had the benefit of a midweek rest. There’s little beyond pride at stake for either side but we’ll find out how up for the challenge they are come 5.30pm (BST).
