Burnley v Everton: Team news, predicted teams and TV details as Sean Dyche returns to Turf Moor

The Clarets will be out to record back-to-back home wins after putting Sheffield United to the sword in ruthless fashion last time out, winning 5-0.

Off the back of that result, Vincent Kompany’s men lost to Wolves and drew with Brighton, leaving them 19th in the table and five points adrift of safety.

While Everton are mathematically still in the relegation picture due to their 10-point deduction, they’ve won their last three and would be 10th without their punishment.

Vincent Kompany’s pre-match comments

“The team is definitely well coached, you can see the team is alive. They’ve had some good results this season.

“They’ve got some players who are performing at the levels at the moment. It’s a good squad, a good team with a lot of clarity in what they do and that always gives you an edge and eventually gives you results as well.

“The lads are always hungry to play those games at home. What would it mean? It’s such a difficult question to answer because it would mean everything, always. But that’s how we live our life towards the job.

“Right now the game needs to be played and to play the game we have to make sure we’re prepared to the best of our ability and make sure the guys are hungry for every minute that needs to be played on that pitch.”
