Everton v Burnley: Line-ups confirmed as Beto starts in attack
Toffees looking to end poor run of form at home
Everton return to the Hill Dickinson Stadium seeking to end a troubling run of home form against relegation-threatened Burnley.
The Toffees sit eighth with 40 points following Saturday’s thrilling 3-2 victory at Newcastle, with David Moyes’ side showing remarkable character to twice take the lead before Thierno Barry’s late winner sealed a crucial away triumph.
However, their home form remains a major concern – they haven’t won at their new stadium since early December, collecting just two points from their last six matches in front of their own fans.
Burnley arrive in desperate circumstances, second-bottom with just 19 points and eight adrift of safety with 10 games remaining.
Saturday’s heartbreaking 4-3 defeat to Brentford summed up their season – Scott Parker’s men fought back from 3-0 down to level, only to be denied by VAR decisions and a stoppage-time winner. Despite their dire position, the Clarets have shown fighting spirit, scoring more goals when losing (21) than any other team this term.
The contrast in recent form against each other is stark – Everton are unbeaten in their last four meetings with Burnley. With the hosts desperate to fix their home form and the visitors fighting for survival, this promises to be a tense encounter.
