Everton take on Burnley this weekend
Everton take on Burnley this weekend

The Premier League is back in action this weekend as Burnley take on Everton at the Turf Moor on Saturday. Everton have been well below their best in recent weeks and need to bounce back in this game.

Burnley were thrashed by Manchester City by a massive 5-0 margin last weekend and need to make several improvements to their team ahead of this game. The home side is currently in 19th place in the Premier League standings and will want to move out of the relegation zone with a positive result this weekend.

Everton suffered a 1-0 defeat against Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United in their previous game and have dropped to a disappointing eighth place in the Premier League table. Carlo Ancelotti has an impressive squad at his disposal and will need to win this fixture.


Burnley vs Everton Head-to-Head

Everton have a good record against Burnley and have won seven games out of a total of 12 matches played between the two teams. Burnley have managed five victories against Everton and are perfectly capable of holding their own against the Toffees this weekend.

The previous match between the two teams last year ended in a narrow 1-0 victory for Everton. Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored the winning goal on the day and will play an important role in this game.

Burnley vs Everton Prediction

Everton have an exceptional squad but have lost four of their last five games in the Premier League. Carlo Ancelotti needs to solve several problems in his side's defence and the likes of Michael Keane and Jordan Pickford need to step up in this game.

Burnley made several tactical mistakes against Manchester City last week and Sean Dyche will have to learn his lessons ahead of this fixture. Everton have a powerful squad and should be able to win this game.

Prediction: Burnley 1-2 Everton
