Everton line-ups as Demarai Gray starts and Yerry Mina dice rolled for Brentford

Chris Beesley - Gray gets the nod in attack

The last time Brentford came to Goodison Park, Everton knew a win would secure their Premier League status but the Blues promptly had two players sent off as they crashed to a 3-2 defeat despite taking the lead twice. Last time out against Nottingham Forest, Everton also went ahead on two occasions only to be denied victory on the first occasion they'd netted more than once in a game since October.

Sean Dyche should look to the positives from that game at the City Ground - which could still be a point gained rather than two lost - if Everton were to defeat Brentford but it won't be easy against a side who are unbeaten in their last 12 Premier League matches. The Blues need this one more though so it should be same again from the manager in terms of personnel in the hope they can make it an unlucky 13 for Thomas Frank.
