Everton vs Burnley Analysis and Prediction

Everton (#6, 7pts) vs Burnley (#16, 1pts)

Pintsized

Stupid, sexy Rafa returning to the Premier League and doing a better job than Carlo Ancelotti in the process. Beating Brighton 2-0 away from the home is unironically an excellent achievement in 2021, and underlined the Toffees ability to crack awkward teams. With Burnley to concede almost all the possession while chasing their direct passing strategy, Everton should have the quality to get Calvert-Lewin firing.

Prediction: 1-0

Ryan

For some reason, this game just feels like the description of meh. Two compact and defensive teams clashing heads without exploding into excitement. Everton did well against an unbeaten Brighton team away despite Richarlison’s antics. Burnley put their first point on the board against a banana skin team in Leeds. This will also be a close one so I’ll once again sit on the fence and go with a draw.

Prediction: 1-1

Steviano

Carlo who? Toffees fans upset at the loss of Chico Marx must surely be won over by Rafa’s excellent unbeaten start to the season whilst Rafa must be delighted not to have a chairman to complain about.  Burnley are struggling to start their season, never an easy team to beat they suffer from lack of attacking options and I don’t see them having enough to take anything from this one.

Prediction: 2-0
