The international break has come to an end, and so attention is back towards Everton’s remaining seven Premier League games.
David Moyes’ side are aiming to finish in the European spots come May, so there’s a lot riding on the next month or so.
Give us your gut feeling… will Everton make it into Europe? 🌍

Everton travel to the capital to take on Brentford this weekend, after a 21-day break from Premier League action.
Ahead of the clash in West London, Opta’s supercomputer has made a very surprising prediction.

Supercomputer has Brentford as the big favourites to beat Everton
Everton have one of the best away records in the Premier League this season, as they reside fourth in the away table.
# Team Points
1 Arsenal 32
2 Chelsea 25
3 Man City 25
4 Everton 24
5 Crystal Palace 23
6 Man Utd 22
The Toffees have won seven of their 15 games on the road, but despite that impressive record, the supercomputer has made them heavy underdogs against Brentford.
Moyes’ side have been given a 26.4% chance of securing three points at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The hosts are 47.4% likely to win, with a draw at 21%.
Perhaps those numbers are a result of the reverse fixture, which saw Brentford thump the Toffees 4-2 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium in January.
Igor Thiago netted a hat-trick in that game, so Moyes will no doubt be working on a game plan to nullify his threat.
Thiago is the second top scorer in the Premier League with 19 goals, only behind Manchester City’s Erling Haaland.
