Burnley News and Form

There was another defeat for Burnley on the weekend as they were beaten 3-1 at Arsenal. That leaves them with back to back league defeats now. In their last home game, they did take a positive though as they banked a victory over Brighton. Still, their overall current form is bad with six losses in their last eight played. They have picked up just the four points in that sequence. Can they get some joy on Boxing Day at Turf Moor where their form this season reads W2 D1 L5?

The Clarets have conceded 15 goals in their eight home games this season and have at times, been a total mess at the back. That’s just the two home clean sheets which they have managed. Their lack of defensive organisation has led to 62% of their games at Turf Moor going above 2.5 goals. Burnley are on a three-match scoring streak at home but have only scored nine home goals all season. 67% of those have been in the first half of Turf Moor fixtures. Burnley have opened the scoring in half of their home fixtures

Everton News and Form

The last time that Everton went out on the road they came away empty-handed in a 3-1 loss at Man City. That left them with just the one away victory to their name all season (D3 L4). So they have not been good travellers at all. They have, in fact, lost three of their last four on the road (D1). Maybe things need to be put into context as this will be their first road game against a team outside of the top half of the table. In their away games Everton have averaged a goal per game. 62% of away games for Everton have produced at least three goals.

38% of the EPL away games Everton have been involved in this season have gone above 3.5 goals. Playing a huge part in that is the fact that the Toffees have only one clean sheet to their name away from home. There is a trend with their halftime results though. They have been drawing at the break in six of their eight away games (L2). Four of those have been 0-0 half-time score lines. The Toffees have scored all but two of their away goals in the second period of matches. Only four sides have earned fewer away points than Everton have

Burnley v Everton Predictions

Draw: The draw appeals the most in this one. Everton haven’t been overly convincing on their travels and the Clarets need to fight here. This could be a fairly evenly matched game and so the match outright draw fits.e
