Everton have won each of their last three meetings with Burnley, thereby seeking four successive victories in this fixture for the first time in 55 years.
Burnley vs Everton preview
Can Burnley boost their Premier League survival hopes by picking up three precious points? Last weekend, the Clarets claimed a potentially crucial point by the South Coast, with Armando Broja's stoppage time equaliser salvaging a draw against Bournemouth. Before this, Burnley had lost seven successive Premier League matches, their longest sequence of defeats in the top-flight since 1895.
As a result, Scott Parker's side remain 19th, now seven points adrift safety. Now though, with Newcastle visiting Lancarshire on Tuesday, Burnley really need to start picking up wins from these two home games, or risk being even more cut adrift going into the new year.
As for Everton, they have more than double their hosts' points tally, currently up in tenth, dreaming of European qualification rather than fearing relegation. Although, David Moyes' team do come into this one following back-to-back defeats, beaten 2-0 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, before a 1-0 loss when Arsenal visited Hill Dickinson Stadium last Saturday night. Despite the narrow scoreline, the Blues rarely threatened, mustering just one shot on target, accumulating a miserly xG figure of 0.2.
Nevertheless, prior to this recent downturn, the Toffees had won four of their previous five fixtures, enjoying victories over Fulham, Manchester United, Bournemouth and then Nottingham Forest. Thus, the Evertonians traveling to Turf Moor will surely do so confident of witnessing a win

Burnley team news
Axel Tuanzebe, Hannibal Mejbri and Lyle Foster are all at the Africa Cup of Nations, while Jordan Beyer and Connor Roberts are both injured, with Maxime Estève a doubt due to a knock.
Should the latter not be fit to return, Joe Worrall would continue as Hjalmar Ekdal's centre-back partner, while Quilindschy Hartman could return in place of Lucas Pires at left-back.
Armando Broja's late equaliser at Dean Court, his first Premier League goal since October 2023, could see him come into attack.
Burnley predicted lineup vs Everton: (4-3-3): Dúbravka; Walker, Estève, Ekdal, Hartman; Cullen, Ugochukwu, Florentino Luís, Bruun Larsen, Anthony; Flemming.
Burnley player to watch vs Everton
Zian Flemming has been Burnley's main man for goals so far, bagging six this season, albeit he's yet to score in the Premier League at Turf Moor, seeking to change that here.
Everton team news
David Moyes' options remain decimated. Idrissa Gana Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye are both at the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal, while Jarrad Branthwaite, Séamus Coleman and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall all remain injured.
So, Tim Iroegbunam and Carlos Alcaraz will once again start in midfield, while Dwight McNeil deputised for Ndiate out-wide against Arsenal, chosen over summer signing Tyler Dibling.
McNeil, as well as centre-backs Michael Keane and James Tarkowski, are all facing their former club.
Everton predicted lineup vs Burnley: (4-5-1): Pickford; O'Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Iroegbunam, Garner, Alcaraz, McNeil, Grealish; Barry.
Everton player to watch vs Burnley
Thierno Barry finally scored his first Everton goal against Nottingham Forest earlier this month, having had 19 shots this season, only two of which have found the target, but the Toffees really need their front man to come to the fore at Turf Moor.
Burnley vs Everton prediction
This is unlikely to be a high-scoring, high-quality thriller, but we are backing Everton to pick up three points at Turf Moor, given that Burnley simply lack quality across the pitch: Burnley 0-2 Everton.
