Afforded just two days rest from Wednesday’s historic Merseyside derby win, attention must now turn to Brentford, who they will welcome to Goodison Park for their 5:30 pm kick-off.It promises to be an intriguing affair, with both sides having enjoyed minor upturns in form of late after an otherwise torrid campaign.
Both Sean Dyche and Thomas Frank seem to have a lot of respect for one another, and that could show in their performances as they seek to ‘cement survival‘ in the eyes of Chris Sutton.Regardless, changes are expected after such a gruelling and intense mid-week performance from the Toffees.Dyche is therefore expected to make three alterations from the side that defeated Liverpool on Wednesday.Jordan Pickford, however, is unlikely to be one of them, having truly shone against the Reds.He made a string of pivotal saves to maintain their clean sheet, but his night was massively eased due to the dominant performances of Jarrad Branthwaite and James Tarkowski, who should both start too. guese maestro and the £33m former LOSC Lille man are considered to be some of the club’s most progressive players, with Gomes ranking in the top 10% for progressive passes made per 90 when compared to other midfielders across Europe.Unless something dramatic has changed since Wednesday, the front three is unlikely to change either, with Jack Harrison and Dwight McNeil hoping to provide more service for the incredible Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The marksman was lauded for what Leon Osman believed to be his best-ever performance for the club.
