- Jordan Pickford (Everton): Saves over 3.5
- Given Brentford’s high shot rate in recent games, Pickford is expected to face and save several on-target strikes.
- James Tarkowski (Everton): Tackles over 1.5
- His defensive involvement is crucial against Brentford’s active midfield, likely leading to multiple tackles during the game.

- With his leading role in Everton’s attack and Brentford’s defensive vulnerabilities, Calvert-Lewin is anticipated to have multiple attempts on goal.
- Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford): Shots on target over 1.5
- Mbeumo’s recent form and the integral role he plays in Brentford’s forward line suggest he’ll be actively trying to breach Everton’s defense.
- Christian Nørgaard (Brentford): Fouls committed over 1.5
- Playing defensively in midfield against an Everton side that will look to dominate possession, Nørgaard’s physical style will probably result in several fouls.
