Everton vs Burnley Predictions: Predicted Everton line-up
Everton have had a rather topsy-turvy couple of months which can be best understood by taking a quick look at their last 5 league fixtures. In these ties, they’ve managed to gain maximum points against the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and West Ham.
But, the worrying part for Toffees fans is that sandwiched in the middle of all these fixtures was a 2-0 defeat against an already relegated Fulham side. This inconsistency has led to their downfall this season but they will be looking to bounce back from the tight 0-0 draw they played out against Crystal Palace
Team News
Andre Gomes was handed a 3-match ban for allegedly stamping on Aleksandar Mitrovic’s foot in their recent 2-0 defeat against Fulham at Craven Cottage. Two games have passed as this fixture against the Clarets will be the third game that he remains banned for.
Elsewhere, Yerry Mina’s thigh problem did cause Toffees fans a little bit of concern but the news that he’s back and training with the side will certainly come as positive news for the club from Merseyside.
Predicted Everton Starting XI
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Manager: Marco Silva
GK – Jordan Pickford
The Englishman has been in fine form in recent weeks and he did well to keep clean sheets for two games in a row.
RB – Seamus Coleman
The speedster boasts amazing attacking abilities as well as good defensive cover and hence, is expected to start.
CB – Michael Keane
The Englishman has impressed in the Everton shirt this season with some strong displays in the heart of the defence.
CB – Kurt Zouma
The Chelsea loanee could start this tie, as Mina has only just recovered from a rather painful thigh problem.
LB – Lucas Digne
The former Barcelona man has been their signing of the season and he’s done exceptionally well in England.
CM – Morgan Schneiderlin
The former Manchester United man’s cause has been helped by Andre Gomes’ suspension and he should start.
CM – Idrissa Gueye
Quite possibly the most important link in the Toffees midfield, Gueye’s defensive understanding is a massive asset.
RM – Richarlison
The Brazilian can play on either side or even as striker but should start on the right flank this time out.
CAM – Gylfi Sigurdsson
The Iceland international scored a beauty against United a couple of weeks ago and should be high on confidence.
LM – Bernard
The former Shakhtar Donetsk man has been a decent signing for the Toffees, who have struggled with depth this season.

ST – Dominic Calvert-Lewin
The youngster has ousted Cenk Tosun from Marco Silva’s agenda for this rather strong-looking Toffees side.
