Everton v Brentford with Club Level hospitality and a players' tunnel vantage.
Liverpool

Rain showers
Our best tips
Liverpool in October averages 10–15°C. Rain is common (roughly 17 days of the month), so a waterproof layer is essential, not optional.
Smart casual is the standard in Premier League hospitality suites. Think collared shirts and smart trousers rather than replica kits. Most venues will turn away guests in sportswear or football shirts.
Arrive at Goodison Park at least two hours before kick-off to enjoy the full pre-match hospitality. Bring a valid photo ID, as most Premier League venues require one for entry.

Everton Football Club, founded in 1878, is one of the founding members of the Football League and has spent more seasons in English top-flight football than any other club. Brentford, established in 1889, returned to the top division in 2021 after a 74-year absence, bringing a data-driven approach that has reshaped how smaller clubs compete. When these two sides meet at Goodison Park, it is a fixture that bridges Victorian-era football tradition with the modern Premier League's most compelling underdog story.
Once Everton has touched you, nothing will be the same.
We are not a small club trying to be a big club. We are a club that wants to be the best version of ourselves.
A landlord's greed over rent eventually split one club into two.
Founded as St Domingo FC by the congregation of St Domingo Methodist New Connexion Chapel in the Everton district of Liverpool, the club adopted the name Everton in 1879. They initially played at Stanley Park before moving to Priory Road and then Anfield, where a rent dispute with landlord John Houlding would later lead to the creation of Liverpool FC.
Rowers founded The Bees; cricketers and golfers rarely build football dynasties.
Brentford Football Club was founded on 10 October 1889 by members of a rowing club. The Bees spent their early decades in local and regional leagues before joining the Football League's Third Division in 1920. Their home at Griffin Park, with its famous pub on each corner, became one of English football's most characterful grounds.
England's first major football stadium was born from a landlord dispute.
After the split with John Houlding over rent at Anfield, Everton relocated across Stanley Park to a new ground on Mere Green Field. Goodison Park became the first major football stadium built in England, with architect Archibald Leitch later designing its stands. It hosted a 1966 World Cup semi-final and has been Everton's home for over 130 years.
Brentford arrived in the top flight as genuine contenders, not passengers; finishing fifth in 1936 made them worthy rivals for the reigning champions.
Brentford earned promotion to the First Division in 1935, setting up regular fixtures against Everton for the first time. The two clubs met in the top flight during the late 1930s and 1940s, a period when Brentford were a genuine force in English football, finishing as high as fifth in 1936. Everton, reigning league champions from 1932, provided stern opposition at Goodison.
Nine points clear and playing football that dazzled; the Holy Trinity made the 1970 title look effortless.
Everton claimed their seventh league title in 1970, playing some of the most attractive football in the club's history. The "Holy Trinity" midfield of Alan Ball, Howard Kendall and Colin Harvey drove the side to the championship by nine points. By this time, Brentford had long since dropped out of the top division, and the two clubs would not meet competitively for decades.
Treble winners in all but name; only a Wembley defeat kept Kendall's extraordinary side from a clean sweep.
The 1984-85 season saw Everton win the First Division title and the European Cup Winners' Cup, narrowly missing a treble after losing the FA Cup final to Manchester United. Howard Kendall's side, featuring Neville Southall, Peter Reid and Graeme Sharp, is widely regarded as the finest in the club's history. The Heysel Stadium disaster that year led to a ban on English clubs in European competition, denying Everton a crack at the European Cup.
Seventy-four years between top-flight appearances; worth the wait, the data suggested.
Under Thomas Frank, Brentford won promotion to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs, beating Swansea City 2-0 at Wembley. It was their first season in the top division since 1947. Owner Matthew Benham's data-driven model, which had transformed the club's recruitment and playing style, was vindicated. The Bees also moved into their new Brentford Community Stadium, leaving Griffin Park after 116 years.
Goodison reunited with Brentford for the first time since the 1940s, with relegation pressure and Toney's threat making it a fixture to dread.
With Brentford back in the Premier League, the fixture between these two clubs resumed for the first time since the 1940s. The early meetings were tense affairs, often with significant implications at both ends of the table. Everton's relegation battles in 2022 and 2023 made every home fixture at Goodison a high-stakes occasion, while Brentford's Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo proved a constant threat.
Goodison has hosted top-flight football since 1892; every remaining match this season is its farewell.
The 2024-25 season marks Everton's final campaign at Goodison Park before the club moves to its new 52,888-capacity stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock on Liverpool's waterfront. Every home fixture this season carries added weight as supporters say farewell to a ground that has hosted top-flight football since 1892. Matches against sides like Brentford take on a valedictory quality, each one a last chance to experience Goodison's unique, tight-packed atmosphere.
