Everton will look to pick up an all-important first win of the season today when they make the trip south to face Brentford.
Frank Lampard's side kickstarted their campaign with a point at home to Nottingham Forest last weekend, following on from defeats against Chelsea and Aston Villa, but the Blues could quickly do with a three-point haul to lift the mood on Merseyside.
Thomas Frank's Brentford return home to the scene of their 4-0 humiliation of Manchester United, but do so having lost at Fulham last weekend thanks to a late Aleksandar Mitrović winner. The Bees have made a bright start to the new season and come into this afternoon's clash having beat the Blues home and away in the league last season.

What's the early team news?
Unfortunately, new summer signing Neal Maupay was not registered in time to be eligible for selection today but the French striker will likely be in the stands to watch his new side.
Everton boss Lampard admitted he is hopeful that Tom Davies will be available for this afternoon's trip to Brentford after the midfielder pulled up before Fleetwood midweek. He said: “Tom Davies we hope is in contention. He had a small feeling in his groin in the warm-up before Fleetwood and pulled out of that game but hopefully he’s in the squad."
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is also unavailable for the trip to London, although Lampard admitted the striker is ahead of schedule and will return to training next week, while Abdoulaye Doucoure is again unavailable.
Long-term absentees Ben Godfrey, Yerry Mina and Andros Townsend remain sidelined.
