Burnley vs Everton: Premier League Team News, Stats, and Preview

In the Premier League, Burnley has a notable history against Everton, winning seven matches—the most against any single team. Despite this, Everton bested Burnley in both encounters during the 2023-24 season. Their most recent victory occurred in December 2023, where Everton secured a 2-0 away win. However, they have struggled to maintain consistent success at Turf Moor, having not recorded consecutive wins there since March 1970.

Recent Performance Overview

Everton has triumphed over Burnley in their last three face-offs across all competitions, with victories of 3-0, 2-0, and 1-0. Interestingly, the Toffees have only recorded more consecutive wins without conceding against Newcastle United in the 21st century, achieving five straight clean-sheet victories between 2015 and 2018.

Burnley’s Form: Struggles During Holidays

• Recently, Burnley has lost six of their last seven Premier League matches played between Christmas and New Year, securing just one win.
• Their defeats span two top-flight campaigns: 2021-22 and 2023-24, with three losses in their most recent attempts.

Everton’s Holiday Woes

Similarly, Everton has faced challenges during the same holiday period. They have not secured a victory in their last six Premier League matches between Christmas and New Year, which includes two draws and four losses. Their last triumph during this timeframe was a 1-0 win against Sheffield United on Boxing Day in 2020.

Away Games Against Newly Promoted Teams

In away matches against newly promoted teams, Everton’s record is less than impressive. They have won only two of their last 14 such outings, registering seven draws and five losses. One of these victories was against Burnley last December, under coach Sean Dyche.

Burnley’s Late Grit

• Surprisingly, Burnley has shown resilience by scoring the most goals in the Premier League from the 85th minute onwards this season, with seven goals.
• Five of their last six league goals were scored late in matches, highlighting their late-game intensity.

In their recent game against Bournemouth, Burnley’s first shot occurred in the 86th minute. Remarkably, their sole goal—scored in the 90th minute—was also their only shot on target.

Player Highlights

Armando Broja, playing for Burnley, recently ended a 39-match scoreless streak in the Premier League with an equalizer against Bournemouth. However, he has only managed to score in back-to-back games once in his career, during his time at Southampton in October 2021.

On the other hand, Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye has been crucial for the team’s performance. The team averages only one point per game without him in the starting lineup, compared to 1.4 points when he plays. Ndiaye has also contributed significantly, scoring each of Everton’s last three league goals against newly promoted teams.

This upcoming clash between Burnley and Everton promises to be an exciting matchup, as both teams look to improve their standings in the Premier League.
