Premier League: Brentford vs. Everton Picks — Toffees to Maintain Excellent Recent Form? (Feb 26)

Everton have enjoyed an excellent period since David Moyes returned to the club, and they have avoided defeat in their last five Premier League matches.

The Toffees were forced to settle for a point against Man United on Saturday, despite leading by a two-goal advantage at the half-time break.

Brentford’s form has improved recently, winning three of their last four, which includes victories in each of their previous two.

Brentford vs. Everton Prop Picks

Jake O’Brien looks like a standout card selection against a pacey Brentford forward line this week. The full-back has been carded three times in just nine Premier League appearances this season.

Beto once again looks set to have a direct impact on the match result, and the striker looks like an excellent chance to continue his scoring sequence since Moyes returned to the club.

Brentford vs. Everton Picks

Brentford’s poor record against Everton is worth consideration this week.

The Bees have also failed to win in their last eight in midweek, and they have never won a midweek match at home. Therefore, Everton are the clear value play at the odds available on Tuesday.
