Sean Dyche returns to Turf Moor as his Everton side take on Burnley in Saturday’s late Premier League kick off. The Toffees have won their last three league games to move out of the relegation zone after being hit with a 10-point deduction for breaking finanical rules.

Last time out Everton defeated Chelsea 2-0 thanks to goals from Abdoulaye Doucoure and Lewis Dobbin and Dyche will be hoping his side can continue their winning streak against his old club this evening.

Burnley, meanwhile, have taken four points from their last three matches and are seemingly finding their feet after a difficult start to the season. The Clarets are five points from safety with today’s clash being particularly important for their chances of survival.

Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.

Burnley vs Everton

Everton are in command at the midway point at Turf Moor, courtesy of two goals from set-pieces. Onana broke the deadlock in the 19th minute when he headed home McNeil's corner. Former Burnley defender Keane doubled the lead six minutes later, finishing at the second attempt after Tarkowski cushioned Pickford's long kick into his path.

HALF-TIME: BURNLEY 0-2 EVERTON

GREAT DEFENDING! Burnley look to halve the deficit and a brilliant diagonal ball gets Vitinho in behind Tarkowski. The right-back drills it across the six-yard box, where Amdouni is waiting for a tap-in, but Godfrey gets there first with a vital sliding intervention.

Nothing came of the free-kick and, instead, Everton threaten a third goal as we enter four additional minutes at the end of the first half. Keane meets a corner at the near post, but cannot keep his header down.

The hosts have an opportunity to potentially cut the deficit before the break as Odobert is fouled on the left wing. Can they make the most of this?

Everton maintain their two-goal lead as we approach the final minutes of the first half. Burnley will be eager for the half-time whistle now.

Thankfully for the hosts, Odobert gets back to his feet and is fine to return to the thick of the action.

There is another concern for Burnley as Odobert stays down and is in need of attention from the medical team. The hosts will hope it is nothing too serious.

Everton push for a third goal and Tarkowski meets a free-kick, sending a looping header towards goal. But under pressure from Onana, Trafford does well to gather from the air.
