Everton and Burnley will face each other in the Premier League next week. The match will be held at Goodison Park and is scheduled to kick off at 8pm on Monday.

Everton

Everton have made a strong start to the new Premier League season. There were concerns and dissatisfaction among some Everton fans when Rafael Benitez was appointed as the manager, what with the Spaniard being a former Liverpool boss who won the Champions League with the Reds.

However, Benitez has proved to be a good managerial appointment for Everton so far. The Toffees are sixth in the Premier League table at the moment with seven points from three matches, two points behind leaders Tottenham Hotspur.

Team News:

Andros Townsend and Demarai Gray will start for Everton.

Burnley

Burnley are among the clubs expected to struggle in the Premier League, and given how Sean Dyche’s side have done so far, it does appear likely that they will have to fight for survival in the top flight of English football. They have picked up just one point from a possible nine and are currently 16th in the standings.

The Clarets kicked off their new campaign with a 2-1 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion at Turf Moor. They then lost 2-0 to Liverpool away from home at Anfield before playing out a 1-1 draw with Leeds United just before the international break.

Team News:

Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes are set to start upfront.

Key Factors to Consider

• Everton have won just three of their last eight games against Burnley.
• Burnley have won two of their past four league games at Goodison Park.
• Just one of the past 15 league meetings between Everton and Burnley has been drawn.
• Everton have scored 21 goals against Burnley in the Premier League.
• Burnley have kept three clean sheets against Everton in the Premier League.

Conclusion

Burnley are not an easy team to win against, and they will make it hard for Everton. However, the Toffees should be able to eke out all three points in the end.
