Burnley vs Everton Premier League Match Preview or Key Statistics 🔵
Burnley have won four of their six Premier League home games against Everton (L2), winning this exact fixture 1-0 last season.
Everton have never kept a clean sheet in their six Premier League away games against Burnley (W2 L4). Only at QPR (7) have they played more games in the competition without recording a clean sheet.
None of the 12 Premier League meetings between Burnley (5 wins) and Everton (7) have been drawn, with only Man Utd v Wigan (16), Aston Villa v Derby (14) and Man Utd v Watford (14) being played more often in the competition without a draw.
No side has scored fewer Premier League goals than Burnley this season (4), while the Clarets have also attempted the fewest shots (83) and shots on target (24) in the competition so far (albeit having played a game fewer than most).
Having kept a clean sheet in their opening weekend victory at Spurs, Everton have now conceded in each of their last nine Premier League matches, with only Sheffield United (13) on a longer current run without a shutout in the competition.
Burnley are looking to win consecutive Premier League home games for the first time since October 2019, the second win of which came against Everton. However, when conceding at least one goal at home, Burnley have managed to win just one of their last 18 Premier League games (D3 L14), beating Leicester 2-1 in January.
In their first five Premier League games this season, Everton had an expected goals (xG) total of 9.9, and had scored 14 goals from 64 shots (21.9% conversion rate). Over their last five league games, they have an xG total of just 5.5, and have converted just 9.6% of their shots (5/52).
Burnley have had the most build up attacks against them (sequences of 10+ passes that end with a shot or touch in the box) in the Premier League this season (37), while at the other end of the pitch the Clarets have had fewer build up attacks than any other side (5).
This game will be Burnley manager Sean Dyche’s 200th Premier League match in charge, making him the 35th different manager to reach that milestone. Only four of the previous 15 English managers to reach the milestone have won their 200th match (Alan Pardew, Roy Hodgson, Steve Bruce and Glenn Hoddle).
Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored the opening goal in more different Premier League games than any other player this season (4).
