Burnley have lost 12 of their 17 Premier League matches
Only the top five have won more league games than Everton’s seven this term
Recommended bet: Everton to win
Burnley may have picked up a point against Bournemouth at the weekend but they remain seven points adrift in the Premier League relegation zone and they face another tough test this weekend as they host Everton.
The Toffees had won four of five games before suffering back-to-back defeats against Arsenal and Chelsea and they will be looking to get back on track against this Burnley outfit.

Prediction
Burnley were predicted to struggle in the Premier League from the get-go this season but a few early results gave the Clarets a bit of hope.
However a run of seven defeats from their last eight games means that Scott Parker’s side are firmly staring down the barrel of relegation and could move one step closer to that reality with a defeat to Everton.
David Moyes’ men do have a number of availability issues, with Idrissa Gueye, Iliman Ndiaye and Jarrad Branthwaite set to miss this clash, but they should still be too strong for the home side.
The Clarets needed a last-minute equaliser to get anything at Bournemouth last time out while they have lost their last four home games.
No team has scored fewer goals at home than the seven at Turf Moor the Clarets have managed and considering the Toffees’ typically resolute defensive set-up, it is hard to see how the hosts can get anything from this game.
Expect Everton to win this one on their travels and move Burnley closer to the drop.
