Venue: Turf Moor

Date: 22/10/2016

Kick-off: 15:00 (BST)

Everton prepare to travel to Turf Moor to square off against Burnley on Saturday and the Toffees will be looking to earn a victory on the day following their good performance against Manchester City last weekend.

Everton are currently on a four match winless run but their 1-1 draw with City away from home last weekend as perhaps as good as a win, especially given the fact that the Merseyside outfit had conceded two penalties during the encounter.

Now Everton square off against a struggling Burnley outfit this weekend and although it will not be easy, manager Ronald Koeman will surely view the game as one in which his side will be able to get three points from.

Everton Team News

Everton are still without the services of Leighton Baines and Muhamed Besic but as a boost, Aaron Lennon is available for selection once again after picking up a knock.

There should be very few changes in the squad made by Koeman, with the back four consisting of Bryan Oviedo, Phil Jagielka, Ashley Williams and Seamus Coleman and the man between the sticks will be star goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.

 

At the middle of the park, Gareth Barry and Idrissa Gueye are certain starters once again, and the solid Tom Cleverley is expected to continue in the lineup as well following his strong performance against Manchester City last time out.

Ross Barkley looks set for another start on the bench, meaning that Gerard Deulofeu will be taking his berth on the right wing and Yannick Bolasie occupying the left flank. Romelu Lukaku is the man set to lead the line for Everton and he will be hopeful of finding the back of the net once again.

Probable Lineups

Burnley (Probable XI): Heaton; Ward, Mee, Keane, Lowton; Marney, Boyd, Arfield, Hendrick, Gudmundsson; Vokes

Everton (Probable XI): Stekelenburg; Baines, Jagielka, Williams, Coleman; Barry, Gueye, Cleverley, Deulofeu, Bolasie; Lukaku

Prediction

Burnley are a solid side but they have been struggling in recent times and have claimed only one victory in their last seven outings.

While Everton are not in the best run of forms themselves by any stretch of the imagination, the Toffees do look much the stronger side heading into the clash on Sunday and if they play to their best, the away side should be able to claim a narrow victory on the day.

Burnley 1-2 Everton
