They should have confidence when it comes to taking on the Bees, as manager Lee Johnson has edged this battle of late. Brentford manager Thomas Frank is winless in three previous Championship games against Bristol City (D2 L1). While Everton would ordinarily back themselves to beat poor travellers Arsenal, especially after proving their mettle in successive games against Chelsea, Man Utd and Leicester – their mid-week cup endeavours should take enough of an edge off their intensity to allow the Gunners to snatch a point. Chelsea have won five of their last six away league games. Everton have lost their last three league matches. Chelsea have scored 19 goals in their last five away league games. Everton's miserable season continued with a 5-2 hammering at Anfield on Wednesday evening leaving them 18th in the Premier League.

THURSDAY’S BIG STORIES Title race status: OFF Video - Klopp: ‘Origi was exceptional against Everton’01:06 Solskjaer job status: SAFE In defiance of the narrative and of simple common sense, Manchester United — who couldn’t beat Aston Villa at home — beat Tottenham Hotspur at home, bringing Jose Mourinho’s blessed start to a juddering halt. Arsenal played out a drab 0-0 draw with Everton last time out which was interim boss Freddie Ljungberg’s parting match. The Gunners have just one win from 13 games in all competitions, hence the appointment of Arteta, and they come up against Eddie Howe’s Bournemouth who have lost six of their last 8 games with wins against Manchester United and Chelsea in between. The goal was checked by VAR as Calvert Lewin appeared to impede de Gea but the officials saw nothing wrong. Everton deserve their lead. GOAL! Manchester United 1-1 Everton (Greenwood): This is a lovely strike by Greenwood the substitute. It's a left footed shot from the edge of the penalty area that sneaks past Pickford. Premier League leaders Liverpool, who last won the trophy in 2006, host neighbours Everton at Anfield. Arsenal, who have lifted the FA Cup 13 times, were drawn against Championship (second-tier) side Leeds, whose only FA Cup win came against the Gunners in the 1972 final. Holders Manchester City host League Two (fourth-tier) side Port Vale, while Manchester United visit Wolverhampton Wanderers. Everton will need a "perfect performance" to beat Liverpool in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday, says their manager Carlo Ancelotti. The Toffees have not beaten the Reds since 2010 - and have not won at Anfield since September 1999. However, Ancelotti guided Napoli to a 2-0 Champions League win over Jurgen Klopp's side in September, one of only two defeats for Liverpool this season. To beat them your game has to be complete," said the Italian, 60. We need to talk about Leicester. Much of the recent media focus has been on the fascinating battle between Liverpool and Manchester City, the managerial turmoil at Tottenham and the developing crises at Arsenal, Everton and West Ham. Away from all that noise though, Brendan Rodgers' side have continued to go about their business quietly (barring one headline-grabbing result), ruthlessly and quite superbly - with Saturday's 2-0 win at Brighton keeping them second in the table, a point above the reigning champions and behind only Jurgen Klopp's unbeaten leaders. Meanwhile, we are going for a 1-1 draw in this clash, which has landed in the previous two meetings between them. The Robins have drawn a third of their home games so far this season, while they’ve failed to win 60% of their league games this term. With under 2.5 goals landing in 62% of Brentford’s away trips – and in five of their last six head to head clashes – this one is likely to be tight, so a 1-1 draw is our pick. Last season, Everton were underdogs for both games but were one of the few sides who managed to match Liverpool and were unfortunate not to pick up more than a point. As former Reds defender Mark Lawrenson told BBC Sport: "This is a fixture that scares Liverpool fans. They know it is dangerous, because Everton will raise their game.

Posted at 64' Foul by Davy Pröpper (Brighton and Hove Albion). Rochdale needed a late penalty to see off non-league outfit Boston and earn an FA Cup third-round tie at home to Premier League side Newcastle United. Aaron Morley's 79th-minute spot-kick saw the League One side through after Boston's Jay Rollins had clumsily fouled Stephen Dooley. While Bristol City have issues, problems are starting to build for Brentford. They had looked to have put their problems on the road behind them, but the Bees were beaten once again on the road on Sunday. They have now lost over half of their away trips after that 1-0 loss at Millwall – another side who are in the playoff mix. The Bees are now winless in their last four away games, with defeats in three of those. To make matters worse, they’ve been able to win at just one top half side on the road all season. With poor form behind them coming into this one, it is odd that the bookies are making Brentford the clear favourites for this clash. The hosts claimed a 3-0 victory over Luton at the weekend, returning to form in solid fashion. They eased to a crucial home win, but can they follow that by securing a result against Brentford? This is a major test of the home side’s playoff ambitions. Can they pass the test against a Brentford side who are just two points ahead of them?

Everton showed improvement under Duncan Ferguson but they have struggled on their travels for a fair while now. Go for United to get the win. We expect the hosts to continue that wait, with the Bees in mixed form so far this season. They’ve lost four of their five clashes with the sides current above them, so playoff challengers Bristol City should prove to be another test. They certainly have in recent years, which has seen the Bees win once in five meetings with Bristol City. With Brentford’s away form considered we’re siding against them here, especially with the Robins losing just three times in 12 home games.
