Everton Preview – Will Lampard’s reign start with a cup win?
Everton have had a miserable season in the Premier League so far. A run of just one win from 14 league games ultimately cost Rafa Benitez his job at Goodison Park. Since the victory over Arsenal at the start of December, Everton have taken just one point from a possible 15.
Frank Lampard was recently appointed new Toffees boss, and his first task will be securing an FA Cup win before some vital Premier League games. In the previous round of the FA Cup, Everton edged past EFL Championship side Hull City at the MKM Stadium.
Everton head into this cup tie as the favourites with the bookies, but Brentford will not be an easy nut to crack at Goodison. Will Frank get off to a winning start?
Brentford Preview – Can Frank’s troops book their place in round five?
Brentford have done superbly well to have kept themselves away from the bottom three this season. They are currently in 14th position with 23 points to their name after six wins, five draws and 12 defeats.
The Londoners have found life tough going of late, however, losing six of their past seven in the Premier League. Since beating Aston Villa 2-1 at the Brentford Community Stadium at the start of 2022, the Bees have lost four on the bounce.

Everton vs Brentford Betting Advice
Brentford ran out narrow winners when the duo locked horns in the Premier League in November. A first-half Ivan Toney penalty was enough for a 1-0 Bees win.

All eyes will be on Lampard in this one, as the former Chelsea legend will be desperate to get off to a winning start in Merseyside. Brentford could be a tough nut to crack, but we fancy the Toffees to edge a tight cup tie on home turf. Take a punt on Everton to win by one goal at 11/4.
Brentford may have lost their last four, but Frank’s side have scored in three of those. With that in mind, put some money on the home win and both teams to score at the tempting price of 10/3.
