Struggling Burnley, welcome fancied Everton this Wednesday

Whilst Burnley need a positive result from this fixture, they cannot afford to throw caution to the wind. Another successive defeat for The Clarets after losing against Manchester City and Brentford would represent a worrying sign of where they are just now.

Also, some statistics are more relevant than others they say, and four losses for Burnley seems very relevant, as they now face a relegation battle. They currently stand nineteenth in the League, with 21 points for a total of 3 wins, 13 losses and 12 draws having won three games, drawn 12 matches, and lost 13 fixtures.

Playing at home, Burnley have won two meetings, drawn six games, and lost six matches.

Winning this fixture will see Burnley on 24 points.

It is likely that five key players will miss Wednesday’s fixture, which is something of a concern for Sean Dyche and his Burnley team.

Everton suffered an away loss to West Ham United in their last outing, they will doubtless be keen get a positive outcome in this fixture.

Also, Everton have now lost 15 of their last 20 matches, a worrying statistic that has to be addressed by Manager Frank Lampard. Their position is seventeenth in the League and they have 25 points, that is, 7W, 17L and 4D having won seven meetings, drawn four fixtures, and lost 17 matches.

It must be a worrying prospect for Everton to go back on the road, with a bud run of away performances under their belt this season. So far they have only secured one win, three darts, and 10 losses to the home team.

A victory for Everton would put them on 28 points.

Going into Wednesday’s game, Frank Lampard without ten of his players, due to illness or injury.
