Everton make the trip to Brentford on Saturday - and will finally be hoping to break their duck for the season.
The Toffees have endured a challenging start to the 2023-24 Premier League season, having collected just one point from their opening five fixtures. Manager Sean Dyche admitted he thought that his side would have had more points on the board by now - but accepts the table doesn’t lie.
A 1-0 loss to Arsenal last weekend leaves Everton in the relegation zone, with significant sections of supporters already fearing another dogfight will ensue after narrowly surviving in the past two campaigns.
Brentford have had a decent opening to the campaign, taking six points so far and sit 11th although they were defeated 1-0 at Newcastle United in their previous game.
Ahead of the encounter at the Brentford Community Stadium (15.00 BST), here’s an early look at the injury news for both sides.

The winger has still to play for Everton since signing from Leeds United because of a hip injury. Harrison is now in team training but much will depend on whether Dyche feels he is fit enough to be involved. Photo: Gareth Copley
