Looking to pull clear of the relegation zone, Everton play host to Brentford at Goodison Park Stadium on Sunday.
The Bees snapped their two-game winless run with a comfortable victory over Southampton last time out and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
Everton were denied a third win on the trot last Tuesday as they were held to a goalless draw by Watford.
Prior to that, Frank Lampard’s side saw off Chelsea 1-0 on May 1 before brushing aside Leicester City 2-1 seven days later.
With 36 points from 35 games, Everton are currently 16th in the Premier League standings, two points above the relegation zone with two games to play.
Elsewhere, Brentford returned to winning ways last time out as they edged out Southampton 3-0 on home turf.
They are now unbeaten in all but one of their last six outings, picking up four wins and one draw in that time.
With 43 points from 36 games, Brentford are currently 13th in the league table, two points off Leicester City in the top half of the standings.
