Everton XI: Pickford, Godfrey, Holgate, Keane, Digne, Allan, Gomes, Davies, Iwobi, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison.
Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters, Gudmundsson, Brownhill, Westwood, McNeil, Wood, Vyrdra.
Chris Wood’s last two PL games:
vs. Arsenal
vs. Everton
Another crucial goal as he puts Burnley ahead.
40 - Chris Wood has scored his 40th Premier League goal for Burnley, becoming the second player to reach that tally for the club (Ashley Barnes, 41). Wood’s goal was the Clarets’ first shot of the match. Opener.
Everton have now conceded 2+ goals in four of their last five Premier League games:
vs. Newcastle
vs. Fulham
vs. Man City
vs. Burnley
A big concern for Carlo Ancelotti.
Most Premier League goals scored for Everton in each of the last three seasons:
18-19: Richarlison, Sigurdsson (13)
19-20: Richarlison, DCL (13)
20-21: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (14)
It was starting to look like 13 really was unlucky.
Joao Virginia is the 21st different Portuguese player to appear in the Premier League this season.

Liverpool - 1pt from 6 games
Everton - 4 pts from 7 games
Not so fun on Merseyside right now
3 - Burnley have won away games against both Everton and Liverpool in a single league campaign for the very first time, and are the third side to do so this season after Manchester City and Fulham. Ferry.
5 - Everton have lost five of their last seven home league games (W1 D1), as many defeats as in their previous 23 Premier League games at Goodison Park (W10 D8). Slump.
Both sides have enjoyed good attacking spells, but it remains goalless at the break
