Everton travel to Turf Moor looking to make it four wins in a row, while increasing the gap between themselves and their hosts today Burnley. Confidence is brimming within the side with a series of strong results in the last couple of months, but Everton have also shown us that they are still prone to the lapses in concentration that can see the game get taken away from them when they don’t score early on, or indeed, first.
Under Vincent Kompany this Burnley is quite different from the side Sean Dyche was sacked from as the Clarets went down. The former City man’s insistence on playing a certain way has been bold but has rarely paid off well as their lowly position in the table indicates.

The Toffees’ last visit to Turf Moor resulted in a win for Dyche, only he was still the home manager at the time. That was the famous Clarets win in their relegation season when it looked like they were going to survive the drop at Everton’s expense after a 3-2 comeback win.
The two sides have already played each other this season in the Carabao Cup, with the Toffees romping to a 3-0 win at Goodison in the beginning of November.
