Burnley vs Everton: Preview and Prediction

Saturday 3rd March 2018

England Premier League
Saturday 3rd March 2018
Kick off at 12.30pm GMT
Venue: Turf Moor

Match Preview:

Burnley will be looking to win their first game of 2018 when they welcome Everton on Saturday afternoon. Whilst they have had a positive season and currently reside in 7^th position recent form would have been a worry for manager Sean Dyche. His side have drawn 3 of their last four games and have seen valuable points dropped as a consequence and they are 8 points adrift of 6^th placed Arsenal.

Burnley’s home form has been very poor with no wins in nearly 3 months and this has been tragic for a side that had earlier in the season built up a reputation for being a difficult side to beat at Turf Moor.

Everton are lacking consistency where one week they look like a solid outfit and the next look like a team who could be in the bottom three. The reality for the Toffeemen is that they remain one of the poorest sides away from home in the league. They have won just one game all season on the road and have lost 4 games in a row.
