Everton will host Burnley at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Tuesday night, aiming to break their home winless streak and strengthen their position in the top half of the table. Burnley, sitting in the relegation zone, is in need of crucial points.
Everton comes off a thrilling 3–2 win over Newcastle United at St James’ Park. The team showed great resilience, taking the lead twice through Jarrad Branthwaite and Beto, with Thierno Barry sealing the win late in the game. Despite their strong away performance this season, Everton has yet to secure a win in their last six home matches.
Conversely, Burnley arrives in Merseyside after a dramatic 4–3 loss to Brentford, where they nearly made an incredible comeback from three goals down. Currently in 19th place and eight points away from safety, they need to turn strong performances into points. However, they have recently improved their away form, remaining unbeaten in three of their last four away matches.

Form
Everton
Everton’s recent victory at Newcastle improved their position to eighth in the table, ending a two-game losing streak. However, they are still struggling at home with seven consecutive games without a win across all competitions. The team has particularly found it challenging to score from open play, netting only five out of their last 14 home goals in such a manner since September.
Burnley
Burnley has developed a reputation for comebacks, scoring more goals while trailing than any other team this season. They recently pushed back from a 3–0 deficit against Brentford but ended up losing. Their recent record includes a draw with Crystal Palace and another with Chelsea. This season, Burnley has managed to recover six points while in losing positions away from home but is still seeking their first clean sheet on the road.
