The English Premier League
season is rapidly coming to a close and we have an early kick-off to enjoy this
weekend as Everton host Burnley at Goodison Park.
Everton are enjoying a strong season to a largely underwhelming
2018/19 campaign ahead of their clash with Burnley.
The Toffees
have lingered in the bottom half for much of the season despite spending big
money last summer.
However, Marco Silva’s men have racked up some tremendous
victories in recent weeks to Trends show Everton are unbeaten in five of their last six PremierLeague games and have picked up home wins against Chelsea, Arsenal and
Manchester United during that run. Everton are undefeated in their last
four matches at Goodison and in addition to the three wins above they held Liverpool
to a 0-0 draw.
One of the
strong aspects of Everton’s recent home form has been their defense and trends
show they have kept a clean sheet in each of their last four home Premier
League games. Considering the quality of the opposition, that’s a very
good return and they will be hoping to extend that sequence in this match.
Team news and Everton are without Andre Gomes who is suspended.
Theo Walcott, Lucas Digne and Richarlison are doubtful but the latter two
players should be fit to start the game.
Burnley continue
to monitor the fitness of Phil Bardsley and he could come back into the team at
right-back if available. Peter Crouch, Steven Defour and Aaron Lennon are
unlikely to play any part.
Everton have
been good at home in recent weeks and both the fans and players will be looking
forward to this match. Burnley
have the ability to make things tough for the hosts but expect to see Everton
take maximum points with over 2.5 goals scored.
