History of the Everton v Burnley fixture

Everton play host to Burnley at Goodison Park on Monday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Toffees are clearly on top, having won 29 and lost only 9 of the 52 games.

The last time the two teams met at Everton was way back in the black-and-white days of January 1976, with Burnley inflicting a narrow 2-3 defeat upon the Toffees in a First Division match.

Recent respective form guides

Everton need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Toffees have scored 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Burnley is pretty dire, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While the Clarets have hit 8 goals, 20 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Everton find themselves struggling down in 14th position in the league having picked up 19 points from their 18 matches. Burnley see themselves just below half way in the Barclays Premier League, showing a record of 20 points from their 19 games played so far,
