What has Jesse Marsch said, ahead of the match?

โ€œEverton got a good result against Brentford who I think are a really good team, and I think the way that they played at the end of last year was very pragmatic, but also very clear. They defend very well, they don't give much away. They're good on the counter. So it sets up to be a dangerous game for us.โ€
