12’ – Gana wins a freekick by the sideline in front of the managers. McNeil swings it into the box, but Dubravka comes out to take it cleanly.
O’Brien makes his first foray forward and puts in a cross, well defended by Burnley.
10’ – Ndiaye has started off on the left, but is being very dynamic on the overloads on the right.
7 – Beto wins another corner, same side. Taken short and quick, comes out to Gana for a shot but he muffs it and the threat passes.
6’ – Beto wins a corner on the Everton left. Garner to deliver, a lowish one like the one Branthwaite scored from over the weekend, and he was the closest to it, but cleared.
2’ – Everton controlled possession for nearly two minutes before a cross into the box was cut out and immediately Foster set off on a counter, running fifty yards with the ball before dragging a shot wide. Expect to see lots more of this.
1’ – Garner gets proceedings underway, the Blues are attacking the South Stand to our right first.
The siren has gone off, Z-Cars rings out as the players make their way out to the pitch. Forever Everton being blared out with fans singing and clapping along.
Starting Lineups
Everton – Moyes goes with an unchanged lineup!
Burnley – Parker has a 3-5-2 for tonight.
Match Preview
Everton are the third best team in the league away behind only Arsenal and Manchester City (on goal difference), but are a miserable 14th-best at home in their new digs at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Tonight they welcome Burnley who are fighting hard from their 19th spot in the table to avoid relegation. They gave the Blues a real fight at Turf Moor and will not let up today either. Scott Parker has been taking an aggressive approach and knows his side have a real chance on Merseyside where Everton continue to fall flat on their faces.
David Moyes admitted during his pre-game press conference that the Blues end up getting caught out pushing forward going for wins at home, and have also been susceptible to setpieces too. If they can jump into an early lead tonight then they can sit back in a mid-block and pick off the Clarets, looking to repair their awful run of just two points in their last six home games.

The two sides had fought out a 0-0 stalemate at Turf Moor two days after Christmas. Before that, the Toffees had done the double over Burnley with Sean Dyche in charge of the Blues in the 23-24 season, winning 2-0 away (Amadou Onana and Michael Keane scoring against his former club), and then 1-0 at home with Dominic Calvert-Lewin grabbing the winner.
