Due to the postponement of the match between Aston Villa Newcastle United, the first game to be played in the Premier League this weekend is on Saturday.
Everton travel to Turf Moor to take on Burnley with the hosts in 19th place on 5 points and the visitors in 8th place on 16 points.
Burnley come into the match on the back of a disappointing 5-0 defeat at Manchester City in the Premier League last weekend. It was a familiar score line for The Clarets and having gone a goal behind early in the game it was always going to be a difficult task.
However, prior to that heavy defeat Burnley picked up 4 points in two Premier League matches. They secured a point thanks to a 0-0 draw at Brighton and enjoyed their first league victory of the season at home, beating Crystal Palace 1-0.
Trends show Burnley have been struggling in the Premier League and they have won just 1 of their last 10 matches in the competition. Burnley have lost 7 of those 10 games and have failed to score a single goal in 5 of their last 6 Premier League matches.
Scoring goals has been a problem at home and Burnley have failed to find the back of the net in 3 of their last 4 Premier League games at Turf Moor.
Everton are aiming to get back to winning ways following a narrow 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Leeds United last weekend. It was a disappointing result for The Toffees against the newly promoted team and was a match they need to be winning if they are going to challenge for the Champions League qualifying positions this season.
The defeat came on the back of a 3-2 win at Fulham. There was nothing wrong with Everton's attacking play throughout the game but defensively it was not a great performance. Everton have now won only 1 of their last 6 Premier League matches and have lost 4 of their last 5 games in the competition.
However, Everton have succeeded in winning 5 of their 7 most recent away matches in all competitions and over 2.5 goals have been seen in 10 of Everton's last 12 games.
Looking ahead to the team news and Burnley will be without midfielder Jack Cork due to an ankle injury. They also have doubts over Phil Bardsley, Josh Brownhill, Nick Pope, Robert Brady, and Dale Stephens.
Everton travel without Lucas Digne and Jean-Philippe Gbamin who are injured. They also have doubts over the fitness of right-back Seamus Coleman.
Everton have been struggling to put a consistent run together in recent weeks and will see this as the perfect opportunity to get back on a good run. We expect to see over 2.5 goals scored in this game and Everton to come out on top.
