Everton vs Burnley Prediction
Everton fans were not overly happy with the appointment of Rafa Benitez due to his Liverpool connections. However, the Spaniard has enjoyed a good start to life at Everton, and his new signings like Andros Townsend and Demarai Gray have made an immediate impact.
Burnley, on the other hand, were unusually active this summer. They signed Connor Roberts, Nathan Collins and Maxwel Cornet. All three are either injured or doubts to feature, which leaves manager Sean Dyche to once again rely on the players like Dwight McNeil and Chris Wood to produce the goods.
Burnley will not make life easy for Everton, and a draw seems to be on the cards.
Prediction: Everton 0-0 Burnley
