Burnley vs Everton Prediction, Betting Tips and Preview
Burnley vs Everton predictions. Match preview and betting tips for the Premier League game at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon.
Burnley vs Everton Preview
Burnley midfielder Steven Defour suffered a hamstring injury at Southampton at the weekend and sits this out. Sean Dyche is missing half of his strike force with Andre Gray serving the last of his four-match suspension and Ashley Barnes sidelined with a hamstring problem. Patrick Bamford is pushing for a place up front and could join Sam Vokes if Dyche opts to go back to a 4-4-2 formation.
Everton full-back Leighton Baines suffered a setback in his recovery from a muscle problem and remains doubtful along with wide man Aaron Lennon who has missed most of the campaign with a mystery ailment. Ross Barkley was dropped for the 1-1 draw at Manchester City last week and is pushing for a return to midfield along with Kevin Mirallas who started on the bench in the last two games.

Burnley 4-5-1 formation: Heaton; Lowton, Keane, Mee, Ward; Gudmundsson, Arfield, Hendrick, Marney, Boyd; Vokes

Burnley vs Everton Prediction
Burnley are one of the favourites for relegation but have been putting in some sterling defensive efforts at Turf Moor this season. They famously caught out Liverpool to win 2-0 in August despite conceding 80% of possession. Dyche’s side has since drawn 1-1 with Hull and defeated Watford 2-0 at Turf Moor. Arsenal and Swansea both won 1-0 here thanks to late goals and Everton will need to be patient to come away with anything on Saturday.
Ronald Koeman has reignited a spark at Goodison Park but needs to get back to winning ways after two consecutive draws. The Dutchman will have been disappointed to share the points after going in front at home to Crystal Palace but the 1-1 draw at the Etihad on Saturday will have been more satisfying.
Everton have emerged as contenders for Europe and with Romelu Lukaku scoring at near a goal per game, the Toffees look capable of taking all three points.
