Everton are currently 6th in the league table, four points behind 4th-placed Chelsea who have played a game more. The Toffees have impressed with their performances this season, with striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin key to their success.
Burnley, on the other hand, are 15th in the league table. Sean Dyche's side are renowned for their ability to soak pressure and sit deep, and have a tendency to frustrate the opposition with their style of play.
Everton are in good form, and despite missing some important players should have enough to triumph.
