Everton travel to London to face Thomas Frank’s Brentford this weekend where they will be hoping to kickstart their dismal start to the Premier League season. The Toffees have lost four games already this season and have endured incredibly frustrating afternoons at Goodison Park in tight losses to Fulham and Wolves so far.
Last time out saw them dominated by high-flying Arsenal who won by a single goal, but Sean Dyche’s side were toothless in attack and managed just one shot on target. They now face a Brentford side who are winless in their last three league games and they’ve won just once this season which gives them hope of pulling off a result on Saturday evening.
In terms of injuries, Dyche is close to having a fully fit squad, but there are some doubts. Here’s the latest team news for both sides.

5. Doubt - Ben Mee
Mee suffered a knock against Newcastle and had to come off, but he could be available.
6. Doubt - Kristoffer Ajer
There’s a chance he could make the squad after missing the trip to Newcastle and he’s played just 10 minutes since starting against Spurs on the opening day.
7. Doubt - Mikkel Damsgaard
The Dane has missed the last three games with an abductor problem but may return to the bench here.
8. Out - Rico Henry
The Brentford defender suffered a suspected ACL issue against Newcastle.
