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 have enjoyed over 60 per cent of the possession inside the opening quarter of an hour. Although, Everton are enjoying a bright spell, having threatened with a couple of corners in quick succession.

This is only Dyche's second appearance in the visiting dugout at Turf Moor. Ironically, the other came in his first ever game as a manager when he brought Watford here in August 2011.

JUST WIDE! Harrison produces neat footwork down the right flank before swinging in a deep cross to the far post. There, McNeil arrives and connects, but sees his header drift just wide of the right upright.

Burnley vs Everton

A resurgent Everton are looking to win four successive Premier League games for the first time since December 2020. Meanwhile, you must go back to November 2002 for the last time they did that without conceding along the way.

Burnley's subsequent delivery into the box is dealt with by the Everton defence, who have two former Clarets defenders in the heart of it in Keane and Tarkowski, as well as McNeil at left wing-back.

The hosts are awarded a free-kick after Tarkowski bundles over Rodriguez. This is a decent early opportunity for them to send the ball into the box.
