Follow live coverage as Burnley face Everton in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after a dominant 2020/21 season and Pep Guardiola's side are favourites to win it again boasting as they do one of the best squads in Europe.

European champions Chelsea have proven they have what it takes to dethrone City, however, having done it in last season's Champions League final and will be hoping to add a domestic title to the one won in Porto.

Liverpool were winners back in 2020 ending a 30-year wait for league glory and Jurgen Klopp is sure to have them back challenging again at the sharp end this season too while Manchester United will be looking to be back in the title picture with Cristiano Ronaldo returning to his former club in the summer.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Norwich, Watford and Brentford promoted to the top tier for 2020/21 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Burnley vs Everton

Everton manager Frank Lampard has won all three of his Premier League meetings with Burnley by an aggregate score of 10-2. Against no side does he have a better win rate as a top-flight manager.

Burnley vs Everton

After a deflected cross is returned into the area by Richarlison, it deflects out to Mykolenko. His touch past Lennon isa too heavy, and the left-back fouls the Burnley winger as he looks to counter.

Burnley vs Everton

Richarlison sends a ball through for Gordon to chase, and he's supported by Kenny. He passes back to Gordon, and the Everton winger's shot is blocked by Cornet, who is struck in the lower abdomen and goes down!

Richarlison is put through on goal by Iwobi, but looks to free up Calvert-Lewin rather than shoot. He gets another chance to do so, but his striking partner is muscled off the ball by Collins and Pope gathers!

Burnley vs Everton

Everton have collected the fewest points of any Premier League side in 2022, with just six, and are the only team yet to pick up a single point away from home, losing all five games. The Toffees haven’t lost six consecutive away Premier League games since a run of eight between April and October 1994.

OVER!!!! Richarlison's found again, this time in the box, and fires a curling, dipping effort that requires the slightest of touches from Pope to tip it over!

Richarlison cuts inside to cross from the left, but Cornet races back to knock a cushioned header into the arms of his goalkeeper Pope.

Burnley vs Everton

More pinball ensues in the Everton box from a Clarets free-kick, and Brownhill's high boot catches Doucoure for a free-kick. He's already been booked, Brownhill, and so does need to keep his composure to avoid giving Everton a one-man advantage.

6 April 2022 20:52

Burnley vs Everton

Everton won the reverse fixture against Burnley 3-1 earlier this season, and last completed the Premier League double over the Clarets in both 2014-15 and 2018-19.
