Everton fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being the 2-3 Premier League triumph over Newcastle United.

In that game, Everton managed 34% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 5 on target. For Everton, the scorers were Jarrad Branthwaite (19'), Beto (34') and Thierno Barry (83'). Newcastle United got 17 shots on goal with 7 of them on target. Jacob Ramsey (32') and Jacob Murphy (82') scored for Newcastle United.

It has been all too rare in recent games that Everton have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Everton have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 6 goals on the way. That kind of trend might not be sustained into this game, however.

Leading up to this clash, Everton:

• have not lost a league tie with Burnley in their previous 3 matches.
• are without a home win in the past 6 league matches. Things will have to change soon.
