Burnley come into the game on the back of a good 1-1 draw at Brighton in the Premier League last weekend.
It was Burnley who took the lead at the end of the first half and they held on to their advantage until the 77th minute, when Brighton equalised.
The Clarets will be disappointed they could not hold out for another 13 minutes but it was a decent point nonetheless.
The draw at Brighton means Burnley have won only 1 of their 10 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
The win came at home over Sheffield United and it was an excellent 5-0 victory but Sheffield United are the only team below Burnley in the Premier League.
There have been 7 defeats in Burnley’s last 9 Premier League matches, with the losses coming at home to Chelsea, Crystal Palace, and West Ham United plus away to Brentford, Bournemouth, Arsenal, and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Trends show Burnley have lost 9 of their last 10 home Premier League fixtures. Both teams have scored in 6 of their 10 most recent home league games.
Everton travel to Turf Moor having beat Chelsea 2-0 at home in the Premier League last weekend.
It was a great win for the Toffees and with the score 0-0 at half time, Everton opened the scoring in the 54th minute.
With Chelsea trying to force an equaliser in the closing stages, Everton scored their second goal in added time.
The win over Chelsea means Everton have won 4 of their last 5 matches, including each of their last 3 games.
All the victories have come in the Premier League and there have been wins over Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest away plus Newcastle United at home.
Trends show Everton have won each of their last 3 away Premier League fixtures and they are undefeated in 5 of their last 6 league games on the road.
Both teams have scored in 6 of Everton’s 10 most recent away Premier League matches.
Team news: Burnley are without suspended defender Charlie Taylor. Luca Koleosho and Jack Cork are both injured plus there are doubts over the fitness of Josh Cullen, Lyle Foster, and Benson Manuel.
Everton have two players unavailable due to suspension, with Jarrad Branthwaite and Idrissa Gueye both missing out. Seamus Coleman, Andre Gomes, and Dele Alli are all fitness doubts.
Burnley will be feeling more confident about their chances of survival following two of their most recent results.
However, Everton are starting to perform under Sean Dyche and we expect to see the visitors come away with a narrow win, with both teams scoring.
