Brentford take on Everton at the Brentford Community Stadium today, with Frank Lampard’s side aiming to win their first match of the season.
The Merseyside outfit have lost two and drawn one of their opening three games, with a late Demarai Gray equaliser against Nottingham Forest their only salvation to deny a 100% losing start.
Thomas Frank’s side have collected four points from their opening three, with a 4-0 win over Manchester United as their headline performance.
Last time out, they were beaten late by Fulham as Aleksandar Mitrovic scored to give the Cottagers their first win of the campaign.
Many questioned whether the Bees would suffer from second-season syndrome in the Premier League; but with the arrivals of Mikkel Damsgaard, Aaron Hickey and Ben Mee have genuinely improved their squad.
They’ll be looking upwards - unlike the Toffees who will be aiming to escape a relegation battle akin to last season.
