Everton vs Burnley Form and Head to Head

The Toffees faced a narrow 3-2 victory in their last outing away to Newcastle. This result contributes to a mixed run of form for the Merseyside club, who rank 10th in the league based on their last six overall matches, securing two wins, two draws, and two losses.

However, their home form has been a cause for concern, placing them 19th in the home form table with just two points from their last six matches at Goodison Park, failing to secure a win and registering four defeats alongside two draws.

Burnley, meanwhile, suffered a dramatic 4-3 home loss to Brentford in their most recent fixture. The Clarets find themselves struggling for consistency, ranking 17th in the league's overall form table with one win, two draws, and three losses from their last six outings.

Their away form offers a slight glimmer of hope, placing them 13th in the away form table with six points from their last six matches, including one win, three draws, and two defeats. A concerning fact for the visitors is their inability to win in 18 of their last 19 Premier League matches, coupled with conceding at least two goals in five of their last six league games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides ended in a goalless draw at Burnley in December 2025. Looking back over their last six meetings, Everton have held the upper hand, securing four victories, with one draw and one loss against the Clarets.

Notably, Everton have maintained a clean sheet in their last four matches against Burnley across all competitions and have won five of their last six home fixtures against the visitors. Historically, these matches tend to be tight affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last three head-to-head clashes.

Everton vs Burnley Team News

Everton will be without a couple of key players for this fixture. Grealish and Alcaraz are both sidelined due to injury. Thierno Barry, however, could be in line for a start after impressing with a goal against Newcastle.

Burnley's injury list is more extensive, with several players unavailable. Amdouni, Beyer, Cullen, Roberts, and Trésor are all confirmed injured. Additionally, Tuanzebe and Broja are listed as doubtful, potentially further limiting the manager's options. Despite a recent positive performance, tactical changes might be minimal given the circumstances.

Everton vs Burnley Match Prediction

Everton will be looking to improve their poor home form, and this is a good chance to do it against a struggling Burnley side. Everton are usually strong in the air and good at winning the ball back, which could cause problems for Burnley, who have looked shaky when defending crosses and can sometimes make simple defensive errors.

That said, Everton aren’t great at keeping the ball, so Burnley may get some spells of control. But Burnley’s slightly lower average possession suggests they might still find it hard to build pressure or create clear chances.

Prediction: Everton 2-1 Burnley
