Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Burnley
Match Time & Date:
26/12/2021
10:00 AM
Prediction: 1-1
Everton
Burnley play host to Everton at their Turf Moor on day 19 of the new Premier League campaign. The Clarets have been struggling in front of goal of late, with the team failing to find the net in the previous three league fixtures. Burnley are desperate to escape the relegation zone, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Everton on Sunday afternoon. Both Ashley Barnes and Connor Roberts should miss out for the hosts through different reasons.
The Toffees, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Chelsea in their last league match. Everton are eight points clear of the relegation zone, and they are surely capable of matching Burnley at Turf Moor. A close encounter is on the cards, and, taking everything into account, we are tempted to put our money on draw. All Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Davies, Townsend, and Mina are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.
