Now we know that fifth place gets you into next season's Champions League, both of these teams must be thinking they have got a chance.
They are level on 46 points in seventh and eighth, and the way the teams immediately above them, Liverpool and Chelsea, are playing then you don't feel it is beyond Brentford or Everton to catch them.
Who would have thought last summer that there was the possibility of Everton finishing above Liverpool this season? It could happen though, and next weekend's Merseyside derby is going to be very interesting.
Everton have to go to west London first, though. I was horribly wrong when I predicted the reverse of this game at Hill Dickinson Stadium in January. I went for a 1-0 Toffees win and the Bees won 4-2.
This time? It will be a lot closer. Yes, I know I am sitting on the fence but there is a predictions title at stake for me here, so I am going to follow form and say Brentford will get their fourth draw in a row.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Brentford host Everton on Saturday afternoon with both teams targeting European football next season.
BBC Sport examines some of the key themes ahead of their meeting at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Brentford and Everton are currently locked on 46 points in the Premier League table – currently three points off the Champions League place of fifth – with the Bees a place ahead on goal difference in seventh.
Brentford were convincing winners when they travelled to Merseyside in January, running out 4-2 victors to end a six-game winless run against the Toffees in the Premier League.
Keith Andrews side have lost just once in their eight most recent league outings although they've only won one of the past six.
Draws have instead been the order of the day, with Brentford facing the prospect of four in a row for the first time as a Premier League side.
A goal from striker Igor Thiago may be needed if Brentford are to get back to winning ways. He needs just one more to tie the club Premier League record of 20 in a single season, currently held by Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbuemo.
Igor Thiago is on course to set a new record for goals scored by a Brentford player in a Premier League campaign
Thiago scored a hat-trick against Everton earlier this season and the superlative form of such a standout striker may be the cause of some envy in the visitor's dugout.
Everton are enjoying a resurgent season of their own as they also target European qualification, although the Toffees have done so largely without the services of a top-level striker.
Thierno Barry has improved over the course of the campaign while Beto's performance in scoring two goals in the win against Chelsea last time out was hailed as his best showing in an Everton shirt by manager David Moyes, but Everton's two centre forwards have still only totalled 12 league goals between them in comparison to Thiago's 19.
Everton have still found a way to shrug off recent relegation battles and financial difficulties to pursue Moyes' goal of a European place - only Arsenal and Manchester United have amassed more points than Everton's 21 since matchday 19.
The 2-0 defeat at Arsenal on 14 March was a first away from home for the Toffees in 2026 but their form on the road has generally been excellent.
They have picked up 41 points in away games since Moyes returned to the club in January 2025, second only to the Gunners, winning four of the past six.
If Everton are to avenge their comprehensive loss to Brentford three months ago, goalkeeper Jordan Pickford could once again be key.
Pickford made one of the saves of the season, external to earn Everton their most recent away victory at Newcastle in February and, based on expected goals on target, the 32-year-old has prevented 24 since the start of 2022-23 – nine more than any other Premier League keeper.
Jordan Pickford has prevented more goals than any other Premier League goalkeeper in recent seasons
Brentford boss Keith Andrews has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Everton at Gtech Community Stadium (kick-off 15:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
There are no fresh injury concerns following the break, but some players returned from international duty with "obvious disappointment". He explained: "They all came back with contrasting emotions. Some had the elation of representing their country for the first time and some had the heartbreak of not getting to the World Cup."
He added: "For the players that experienced disappointment, it was good to have those extra few days to just decompress and spend a bit of time with family. I'm sure it would've been nice to not have to think about football."
Aaron Hickey (hamstring) and Vitaly Janelt (metatarsal) are in different places with their injuries. He explained: "Aaron probably won't make tomorrow, but he isn't too far away as he trained with the group this week. Vitaly is a bit further away, it is a different type of injury and length so I don't know how long exactly."
The three-week break felt "weird and very unusual", but it gave the squad chance to "recharge and refresh" ready for the final seven game run-in.
However, he added: "You just never know with this amount of time off. You do your best to make sure you're training at the right level to ensure you're not sluggish on return. I do think the energy and verve around the place has been really good this week, though."
On his side only losing one of their last eight Premier League fixtures but also only winning one of their last six league games, he said: "You can spin our form either way. There have been ups and downs in those games, without doubt, but equally we have played some really difficult sides. We've raised the bar in terms of expectation, so naturally the runs are going to be scrutinised a little bit more. We are comfortable with where we're at, but equally we know we could've played better in some games."
The "natural way of the footballing world" means Igor Thiago will attract interest this summer. The club will be "very happy" if he gets selected for Brazil's World Cup squad, regardless of any further attention it might draw.

Image source, Getty ImagesBrentford B will take on Paris St‑Germain under‑21s in a friendly at the Gtech Community Stadium in May as part of the annual Robert Rowan Invitational.
The fixture will form part of an event on 18 May to honour the memory of Rowan, who established the B team but died in November 2018, aged 28, from cardiomyopathy.
All proceeds from the event will go to support the Heart of West London initiative, a partnership between the club and several local charities and hospitals.
Brentford B are a key part of the club's overall strategy, providing players including Chris Mepham, Mads Roerslev, Ryan Trevitt, Paris Maghoma, Ji‑soo Kim, Benjamin Arthur, Romelle Donovan and Yehor Yarmoliuk to the first team.
The Premier League's return this weekend brings trepidation for some and excitement for others.
Football's emotional rollercoaster becomes intense at this time of year, unless of course mid-table mediocrity has taken a grip of things in recent months.
So how are you feeling as a Brentford fan with just a handful of weeks left to go?
The league form reads: DLWDDD
The next three league fixtures are: Everton (h), Fulham (h) and Manchester United (a)

Image source, Getty ImagesThe Premier League will have at least five teams in the Champions League next season after securing a European Performance Spot for the second straight year.
The extra place was confirmed on Tuesday as Arsenal beat Sporting 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.
Uefa awards an additional place to the two leagues with the best overall performance across the three European competitions.
The race for fifth place in the Premier League, currently held by Liverpool on 49 points, is exceptionally tight.
Just seven points separate Arne Slot's side from 13th-placed Bournemouth.
Chelsea (48) sit in sixth followed by Brentford (46), Everton (46), Fulham (44), Brighton (43), Sunderland (43), Newcastle (42) and Bournemouth (42).
If Aston Villa, who are fourth on 54 points, win the Europa League and finish outside the top four, the Premier League would have six teams in the Champions League.
The same logic applies to Liverpool, who face Paris St-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday.
If either win a European trophy and finish fifth, then sixth would qualify for the Champions League via the EPS place.
If both win European trophies and finish fifth and sixth, that would put seventh into the Champions League.
Nottingham Forest are in the quarter-finals of the Europa League. They could emulate Tottenham by winning the competition and finishing in the bottom half of the table.
Just like last season, that would create a sixth team in the Champions League for the Premier League too.

Image source, PA MediaBrentford's next two matches could go a long way towards deciding whether or not we play in Europe next season.
We are at home to the two teams immediately below us in the table - Everton this weekend, in a rare Saturday 15:00 BST slot, and local rivals Fulham the following week at 12:30.
Win those two and we will open up a nice gap over both of them and the rest of the chasing pack. Lose one, or even both, and our European dreams may well start to fade.
Whatever happens, it has been a great season for us.
We have silenced the doubters - of which I was never one - and had a lengthy spell in the top half of the table as well as playing seven cup ties - the most since our promotion season of 2020-21.
It is certainly going to be an interesting end to the campaign in our last seven games - and even if we end up not helping ourselves, we can play a part in potentially determining issues at both ends of the table.
We host relegation-threatened West Ham at the start of May and a week later go to title-chasing Manchester City.
And we are certainly going to be in the headlines on the last day of the season as we are the opponents for Mohamed Salah's final Premier League and Anfield game for Liverpool - and if they go out of the Champions League, his last match for the club, too.
The Everton fixture will mark the end of a frustrating three-week break from games but, as I said last week, hopefully it will have allowed some of the injured players to regain fitness.
The players who missed out on the World Cup finals will have a reason to pick themselves up and try to secure some international club football instead.

Image source, Getty ImagesWho will win the Premier League player of the season?
That won't be announced until towards the end of May but we already have a pretty good idea of the contenders, based on players' performances so far this campaign.
Arsenal are leading the way in the title race and should they win, the likes of defender Gabriel and midfelder Declan Rice will surely be in contention but more unexpected stars like Igor Thiago and Antoine Semenyo will likely be in the mix.
The striker's 19 goals have lifted Brentford to the brink of European football for the first time in their history, having been pre-season favourites for relegation.
He has scored the most goals by a Brazilian in a single Premier League season and became the fastest Brentford player to reach 10 top-flight goals.
He is one short of their overall Premier League record of 20 in a season, scored by Bryan Mbeumo (2024-25) and Ivan Toney (2022-23).
It comes after last season was wrecked by injury following a £30m move from Club Brugge in 2024. A knee injury in pre-season ruined his chance of an early impact and then a joint infection kept him out until the final few games.
He made just eight appearances, failing to score, so to return at the level he has this season - and earn a maiden Brazil call-up - is a testament to his quality and self-belief.
Image source, Getty ImagesWith fifth position looking set to be a Champions League spot for a second consecutive season, the form of Chelsea and Liverpool has left the door open for another team to possibly pip them to that place.
Brentford, Everton, Fulham and Brighton might not have expected to be fighting for a place in Europe's top club cup competition at the beginning of the campaign, but with all four within six points of fifth place it could yet become a reality.
At the time of writing, supporters think the eight-placed Toffees are most likely to reach that spot, with the current poll standings looking like this:
Brentford - 21%
Everton - 60%
Fulham - 7%
Brighton - 12%

Image source, Getty ImagesAn England captain and a Brazil centre-forward - two more Brentford firsts and just another incredible week to be a Bees fan!
It was great that Jordan Henderson was given the armband by Thomas Tuchel for England's draw with Uruguay.
And it was superb to see Igor Thiago achieve his dream of a Brazil cap when he came on during the second half of their friendly defeat by France.
Even though Henderson has, of course, played for England for years, it still makes you proud as a Brentford supporter to enjoy moments like this.
Thiago's achievement goes against the reported wisdom of Brazil fans not rating players who don't play for the biggest clubs and it was great to see the genuine joy that his debut brought him.
It wasn't all happiness for Bees players, however, with Caoimhin Kelleher and Nathan Collins, with Republic of Ireland, and Yehor Yarmoliuk, with Ukraine, all having their World Cup finals qualifying hopes ended in the play-off semi-finals.
However, Denmark's Mikkel Damsgaard and Mathias Jensen, and Jamaica's Ethan Pinnock, still have a chance of joining the likes of Henderson, Thiago, Scotland's Aaron Hickey and Norway's Kristoffer Ajer in the finals - fitness permitting.
Although it's nice to have a break as a fan sometimes, it would have been good for the Premier League to return over the Easter weekend.
Our FA Cup exit means it's nearly another fortnight until our next game - against Everton.
At least those players who have been away on international duty will get a break afterwards, but three weeks is a long gap at such a vital stage of the campaign.
Hopefully some of the injuries in the camp will clear up and the non-internationals can have a rest to set us up for what could be an exciting finale to the season.

Over recent weeks, it has felt like the race that nobody wants to win.
Aston Villa,Liverpool and Chelsea have all been dropping points as they battle for a Champions League spots.
A win before the international break has given Villa just a little more breathing room in fourth, while defeats for Arne Slot's Reds and Liam Rosenior's Blues have left both clubs struggling to cement their place in Europe's premier club competition next season.
Their respective difficulties have given other teams, who at the start of the season could only have dreamed of the chance to secure Champions League football for next campaign, an opportunity to do just that.
With it all but certain that the Premier League will get an extra Champions League place for the second consecutive season, fifth is set to be enough to secure that ticket.
Brentford and Everton are just three points off that coveted spot, while Fulham are five points away and Brighton six.
Reaching form at the right time could be crucial, and if we take a look at the points-per-game record of those four chasing teams from their past seven results, it could give us an idea as to who has the best chance of toppling the traditional 'big six' teams for that final place.
If Brentford's PPG continues into the final seven games, it would take them to 56 points, while Everton's PPG of 1.7 would take them to 58 and just ahead of the Bees.
Fulham, meanwhile, have a form of 1.4 PPG that would take them to 54 points and not quite enough to overtake the two above, and in-form Brighton with 1.7 could get them to 55 points but that too would not take them past Brentford and Everton.
With so much left to play for and the pressure on the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool - who still have play each other - to reach their Champions League target, it could leave an opening for someone else to go on the ultimate European adventure.
Of the four sides eyeing an unexpected Champions League opportunity, who do you think has the best chance of sneaking into that fifth spot?

Image source, Getty ImagesThe Premier League's Key Match Incidents Panel has ruled that Brentford should have been awarded a penalty in their 2-2 home draw with Wolves on 16 March.
But it was also decided that the VAR was correct not to intervene as there was no clear and obvious error.
The Bees were 2-0 up in the 41st minute when Kevin Schade was held back by Andre.
Referee Stuart Attwell allowed play to continue and there was no monitor review advised by the VAR, Paul Howard.
Wolves came back strongly in the second half to score twice and earn a point at the Gtech.
The KMI Panel said that the holding was "sustained" and voted 4:1 in favour of a penalty.
It was a split 3:2 vote in support of no VAR intervention.

Image source, PA MediaIf anyone is in need of an international break, it is definitely a tired-looking Brentford.
With injuries hitting us severely for the first time this season, the players will be able to have some well-earned time off.
Even those going away on international duty will have a bit of a break when they return as, like most Premier League clubs, we are not playing again for nearly three weeks.
The number of players currently out of action has led to more and more youngsters on the bench. At Leeds on Saturday, we had five teenagers, a 21-year-old and only three experienced players making up our replacements.
As a result, Keith Andrews only made one substitution and it is a huge credit to the 10 men who played the entire match that we picked up a well-deserved point.
It was a result I would have taken before kick-off, but it would have felt like an even better point had we beaten Wolves earlier in the week.
The draw was largely down to an excellent display by the defence, which coped with everything Leeds threw at it.
Ethan Pinnock has lost his regular place after many years and made only his fourth Premier League start of the season - but produced a great display.
The centre-half is Brentford's third longest-serving player and I was delighted to see that the timing of his tackles is still superb and he is still powerful in the air.
Pinnock, with Jamaica, Republic of Ireland duo Caoimhin Kelleher and Nathan Collins, plus Denmark's Mathias Jensen and Mikkel Damsgaard, if fit, can park dreams of a possible 'European tour' with the Bees for now as they try to get their respective countries into this summer's World Cup.
It is going to be an interesting fortnight for Brentford fans watching their fortunes - especially as the Republic of Ireland could play Denmark for one finals place.

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Leeds and Brentford.
Here are some of your comments:
Leeds fans
Paul: Leeds played as if they are frightened of losing rather than trying to win. They looked a different side after the late changes. Be brave!
Andrew: A good point against a team in form competing for a top-six place. However, being draw specialists might not be enough. We need to find our mojo again. We aren't playing with the dynamic we are capable of and not creating enough chances as a result.
Chris: Good point in the end - they are a good side pushing for a European place and have good players. The teams cancelled each other out on the day. Poor game for both set of fans.
David: A hard-fought point against a well-organised and dangerous top-eight side. Going into the international break outside the bottom three is good and takes the pressure off. Hopefully in the final run-in we will see more of Daniel James, Wilfried Gnonto and Noah Okafor, especially in the home games, to create more goals and keep us in the Premier League.
Brentford fans
Zachary: Felt we set up for a draw. While fans don't want to see that, it is probably a good point considering how thin our squad is right now, particularly at right-back and in midfield. I do also think fatigue is getting to the players, with Ethan Pinnock and Keane Lewis-Potter cramping up near the end. That's concerning with a very limited selection of first-team players on the bench. Can't fault the lads for effort, though.
Jane: It wasn't a great watch. A missed opportunity? Yes, but at this stage of the season it's tough for teams with fewer resources as the injuries hit, and the bench features very few players who can change a game. It's going to be tough for the Bees to stay in seventh.
Gavin: A masterclass in defending against a decent opposition who were trying hard to win the game. With the additional injuries to Mikkel Damsgaard and Kristoffer Ajer, I wasn't surprised by the shape, and great to see Pinnock not putting a foot wrong. It's definitely a point gained, in previous seasons with the injury woes they would have lost this game. With the remaining away games against Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool on the last day, three defeats is not unlikely. However, who knows with this team under Keith Andrews.
Ian: A well-deserved point. The closing down of space by the Brentford team was immense. Time for a recharge of the 'league' batteries for the final seven games.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe fight for Champions League football appears to be turning into the race that no-one wants to win.
For the second year in a row, it is all but certain that the top five teams in the Premier League will qualify for next season's Champions League.
But shock defeats and inconsistency means the form of the so-called top sides is falling off a cliff.
Defeats for Liverpool and Chelsea have opened the door for a team to come out of left-field and clinch a coveted Champions League place.
Could it be Everton? Brentford? Even Fulham, 10th-placed Brighton and teams below remain in touch.
Before Monday's draw with Wolves, Brentford played a video on screens around Gtech Community Stadium showing pre-season predictions from pundits, including Micah Richards and Alan Shearer, who said the Bees would be involved in a relegation battle after losing Thomas Frank to Tottenham.
The video ended by playing lyrics from Stormzy's song Shut Up, with those two words displayed in giant letters across the screen.
Under Keith Andrews Brentford have largely done their talking on the pitch. Rather than looking over their shoulders in the relegation battle, they have written their name into the conversation for European qualification - something never done in the club's history.
The Bees could not capitalise on teams above them dropping points on Saturday, the goalless draw a missed opportunity to go level on points with Chelsea and edge closer to securing not only a spot in Europe, but a push for the Champions League places.
"It's tight," Andrews said after the game. "The league is pretty condensed in that part. Seven to go.
"We have done unbelievably well to get where we are in the league. We deserve to be where we are and it'll take a mammoth effort to stay there.
"Everything we can give, we will give, like they do all the time. The intentions are always good from our players. They are always positive, embrace the occasion and challenge and I would expect it'll lift them for the last seven games."
Pundits Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney join host Mark Chapman to bring you the action and talking points from Friday and Saturday's Premier League fixtures.
And listen back to full match commentaries on BBC Sounds:
Brentford boss Keith Andrews, speaking to BBC Match of the Day after their goalless draw with Leeds: "A good point. We were tested this week with a disruptive week and a couple of knocks in training.
"You come into a place where they are pitching this as a massive game in their quest to do what they need to do. We have our own quest and all I was feeling as I was watching was immense pride of what the players do consistently and take every challenge on in the right manner. I really enjoyed us tonight.
"We have done unbelievably well to get where we are in the league. We deserve to be where we are and it'll take a mammoth effort to stay there.
"We approached the game really well. First half we were excellent and controlled large parts of it and really frustrated them. Second half we knew there'd be a response and had a young bench, so it was always going to be the challenge of players sticking with it.
"Everything we can give, we will give, like they do all the time. The intentions are always good from our players. They are always positive, embrace the occasion and challenge and I would expect it'll lift them for the last seven games."
Did you know?
This was Brentford's 14th goalless draw in the Premier League, with only Crystal Palace (19) playing out more 0-0 draws since the Bees' debut campaign in the competition in 2021-22.
Having lost seven of their first eight away Premier League games this season (W1), the Bees have since lost just one of their last eight matches on the road (W5 D2).
