Everton return to the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Tuesday night looking to end their home hoodoo and solidify their top-half standing against a Burnley side desperate for points.
The Toffees arrive home riding high after a sensational 3–2 victory over Newcastle United at St James’ Park on Saturday. David Moyes’ side showed immense character, twice taking the lead through Jarrad Branthwaite and Beto before Thierno Barry secured all three points late on. While Everton have been exceptional on the road—winning more away points than any side since Moyes’ return—they have struggled at their new stadium, currently enduring a six-match winless run in front of their own supporters.
Burnley, meanwhile, travel to Merseyside following a heart-wrenching 4–3 defeat to Brentford. Scott Parker’s men almost completed one of the all-time great Premier League comebacks after falling three goals behind, only to be denied by late VAR calls and a stoppage-time winner. Sitting in 19th place and eight points adrift of safety, the Clarets must start converting spirited performances into points. They can take confidence from their resilience on the road, having avoided defeat in three of their last four away league games.

Team News
Everton
Captain Seamus Coleman is unavailable after picking up a minor knock, though David Moyes expects the veteran defender to return shortly. Jack Grealish is ruled out for the remainder of the season following foot surgery, while Charly Alcaraz remains sidelined until late March. In better news, backup goalkeeper Mark Travers is back in the squad after recovering from a finger injury. Moyes faces a selection dilemma up front after both Beto and Thierno Barry scored at the weekend.
Burnley
Scott Parker continues to manage a significant injury list, with Zeki Amdouni, Connor Roberts, and Jordan Beyer all long-term absentees. Josh Cullen is out with an ACL injury, and Armando Broja is also unavailable. Marcus Edwards remains a doubt after missing the Brentford match with a knock. However, Lyle Foster is back to full fitness and could be in contention to start after a cameo appearance on Saturday.
Form
Everton
The Toffees have been a tale of two venues lately. Their victory at Newcastle ended a run of two defeats and moved them into eighth place in the table. However, their home form remains the primary concern; notably, Everton have failed to win any of their last seven home matches in all competitions. Furthermore, the side has struggled for goals from open play at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with just five of their last 14 home goals coming from such situations since September.
Burnley
The Clarets have become the Premier League’s ultimate “comeback” side, having scored more goals when losing (21) than any other team this term. Most recently, they fought back from 3–0 down against Brentford, only to fall short in a seven-goal thriller. This followed a 0–0 draw with Crystal Palace and a 1–1 draw at Chelsea. Notably, Burnley have recovered six points from losing positions on the road this season—nearly a club record in the top flight—but are still searching for their first away clean sheet of the campaign.
Predicted Lineups
Everton Predicted XI: Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; McNeil, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye; Barry
Burnley Predicted XI: Dubravka; Humphreys, Worrall, Esteve, Pires; Ugochukwu, Ward-Prowse; Hannibal, Foster, Anthony; Flemming
