Everton
Everton managed to end a two-match losing run in the league last time out, having previously lost at home to Bournemouth (1:2) and Manchester United (0:1). They did so in somewhat unexpected fashion away to Newcastle United, winning 3:2. It is worth noting that the club had been unable to score more than twice in 12 consecutive Premier League matches. We should also point out that only for the second time in their last eight Premier League games have Everton conceded more than once. The team currently sit in the top half of the standings and trail the top five by eight points.
- The club have avoided defeat in six of their last eight Premier League matches (three wins and three draws).
- Both teams to score has landed in five of Everton's last six league games.
- At home, the Liverpool club are on a six-match winless run in the Premier League (two draws and four defeats).
Potential Everton Lineup (4-5-1)*
Jordan Pickford – Jarrad Branthwaite, James Tarkowski, Jake O'Brien, Vitaliy Mykolenko – James Garner, Iliman Ndiaye, Idrissa Gueye, Dwight McNeil, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – Beto Betuncal.
Forward Jack Grealish is out until the end of the season with an injury. Midfielder Carlos Alcaraz is also unavailable due to injury.
Burnley
Burnley suffered a dramatic home defeat on Saturday, losing 3:4 to Brentford. Interestingly, the club were 0:3 down during the match but managed to draw level, only to concede the decisive goal in the third minute of stoppage time. Burnley then equalised again, but the goal was ruled out. Unfortunately, their unbeaten run ended almost as soon as it began, having included a win over Crystal Palace (3:2) and a draw with Chelsea (1:1). The team remain 19th and are eight points adrift of the safety of 17th place. The club have also conceded the most goals in the league — 56.

Everton vs Burnley: Match Prediction
No matter how good the Liverpool club have looked away from home, they are clearly having major problems at their new stadium. In six straight home matches, the team have not only been unable to win, but have also failed to keep a clean sheet. However, Everton have scored in four of their last five home Premier League games. That is why backing a home win against one of the relegation candidates is risky, especially as Burnley have started to play far more aggressively with the prospect of a return to the Championship looming.
Scott Parker's side are unbeaten in two consecutive away matches, so they will be looking to take points from this fixture as well. Interestingly, Burnley have looked slightly better in attack on the road than at home. In their last 13 away league matches, the club have failed to score only twice. The defence, however, has let them down, having not managed to leave an away ground without conceding a goal at any point this season. In addition, in 15 previous away Premier League games, the club have conceded two or more goals 12 times.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
* For each team, the starting XI listed is from their previous match in this competition.
