The Seagulls are having a clearly weak season and are currently fighting for survival in the Premier League. Sean Dyche’s team has collected 26 points in 16 matches, which puts them in 16th place in the league table. The gap from the relegation zone is only four points, and it has not been due to Everton’s successful play but rather thanks to earning back 4 points. Midweek, Everton played an away match against Newcastle and managed to secure a draw, ending the game 1-1. Despite conceding early in the first half, the “Seagulls” scored their goal two minutes before the end of regular time, converting a penalty. However, when considering only the Premier League, Sean Dyche’s team has not won a match in 13 games.
The Clarets are also among those who are fighting to stay in the elite division this season. Unlike their opponent, Burnley is directly in the relegation zone, having collected 19 points in 31 matches. Vincent Kompany’s team is six points away from the 17th place, which ensures safety. Midweek, Burnley hosted Wolverhampton at their home ground and only managed a 1-1 draw. The teams exchanged goals at the end of the first half, and in the second half, “The Clarets” had a noticeable advantage but failed to capitalize on it on the field. Burnley has been undefeated in 4 matches, securing one win and three draws.
