Everton vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Everton want to put Brentford under pressure at every opportunity and are launching direct balls forward, with Tarkowski looking to find McNeil this time. He bursts in from the left, but Collins wrestles him away from it, allowing Flekken to collect it.

Collins wins a corner out of nothing for Brentford after his switch of play is headed behind by Godfrey, who was put under pressure by Wissa. However, Tarkowski clears the initial danger before his centre-back partner Branthwaite heads away the second cross.

Garner wins possession in the midfield, striding from right to left. He combines with Doucoure before whipping a cross towards the back post with his right foot, but Reguilon gets there ahead of Harrison to head it away.

Pinnock strolls forward with possession and spots Wissa's bursting run inside from the left. He gets behind Everton's defence and gets into a race for the ball with Pickford, but the goalkeeper gets there first. He rushes off his line and heads away the danger before the flag goes up for offside.

None of the 10 league meetings between Everton and Brentford at Goodison Park have ended in a draw, with the Toffees winning seven of these to the Bees’ three. There have been chances at either end in the opening exchanges, but neither side have been able to take control. However, Frank will be confident with Wissa, Toney and Mbeumo all starting, in what is probably his first-choice attack.

CHANCE! A searching cross from right to left drops to McNeil on the left side of the box, who takes a good touch out of his feet before drilling his shot across the goal. Chermiti dives across to try and tap it in at close range, but the ball goes just past him and out for a goal-kick.

Jensen's outswinging corner from the right finds Pinnock, who pokes his effort towards the goal. Godfrey thumps it away at the back post, and it hits Doucoure. The Bees want a penalty, but it hit the midfielder's head.

Ajer curls the ball down the right wing, with Jensen getting into a battle with Branthwaite. The Everton centre-back seems to get the better of the Brentford man, but his pass back to Pickford goes out for a corner.

Pickford launches the ball up the pitch and gives Chermiti something to chase after. Pinnock gets there ahead of the forward, but Chermiti puts him under pressure and forces the defender to clear it out for a throw-in.

Chermiti has had to be patient, but he has finally been given his first start in the Premier League after making 14 appearances off the bench. The 19-year-old has only played 70 minutes in the top flight but comes in up front with Beto and Calvert-Lewin both out!
