At home, Everton are not having a great season. They are 16th in the league only four points above the relegation zone. In their last five games they have only managed to draw once and lost four times.
This poor form is the main reason for the change of coach. Frank Lampard has become the new Everton coach to help the team to play better, gain more points and move up the table. He can make the first move against Brentford in the FA Cup.
The visiting team is 14th in the league and has a 4 point lead over Everton. In terms of form, however, they are not much better off. In the last five games, it managed to win once, then lost four times.
Both teams are experiencing poor form. The home side will have the greater momentum in this match, with Frank Lampard, as the new head coach of the team, infusing new energy into their veins.
Everton also had a more eventful transfer window, with Dele Alli and Donny van de Beek joining the team at the end of January and being called up by the newly appointed coach. There’s a good chance they’ll turn up in this game looking to show their qualities in their new team.
However, one interesting name has also arrived at Brentford. This is Christian Eriksen, who is returning to football after suffering a heart attack. However, he hasn’t played a competitive game since the incident, so it will be more difficult for him to return to the game.
Although Brentford are two places above their upcoming opponents in the table, we are identifying Everton as the favourites for the duel. The new coach and additions to the squad will have a positive effect and will boost morale leading to a cup match victory.
