Sean Dyche returns to Turf Moor on Saturday night as he looks to extend his side’s impressive winning streak and there is likely to be no love lost here. The Toffees have won four of their last five, keeping three clean sheets in the process and it seems that their performances are finally turning into results, especially on the attacking end.

Everton have scored six goals in their last three games, an area of which they have struggled with all season, despite racking up respectable xG numbers. They still remain eight goals short of their xG but they’re certainly looking better in front of goal and scoring three past a notoriously strong Newcastle defence is a big testament to that.

Burnley have the worst home record in the Premier League this season, conceding an average of 2.5 goals a game there. With only one win in eight at Turf Moor it’s feeling more like a home disadvantage at the moment for Burnley, and with their visitors victorious in their last three road trips in the Premier League, it’ll certainly be another tough home fixture.

Predictions:

🏆 Everton to win @ 2.05

🏆 Everton draw no bet @ 1.45

Dwight McNeil is continuing to show off his brilliance after some great performances over his last three games. McNeil scored in back-to-back victories against Nottingham Forest and Newcastle and showed great promise in the outing against Chelsea last weekend – he’s certainly looking like a goal threat at the moment.

McNeil has hit the target in all of Everton’s previous five Premier League games and has had at least two shots on goals in seven of his last 11 games in the league. He’s averaging 2.19 shots per 90 with 0.70 hitting the target but his recent form certainly suggests more promise from him on Saturday.

Coming up against a very leaky Burnley defence that are conceding an average of 15 shots per 90 in the Premier League this season, McNeil is likely to get some more chances at goal this weekend.

Another Toffee’s man in form is Abdoulaye Doucoure who is continuing his great season with goals in consecutive league games against Chelsea and Newcastle, he’ll certainly be looking to make it three.

Doucoure has established himself as Everton’s leading marksman with six goals, and is having great success in his new role this year, averaging 1.81 shots on goal per 90. Facing a fragile Burnley backline, the Mali international could certainly pose more threats at goal. He looks a lovely price to continue his hot-streak in front of goal, a great angle for those high-odds bet builders.
