Everton v Burnley Prediction: Back the Toffees at Goodison

Gameweek 4 in the Premier League finalises with Everton v Burnley this evening, in a match where the hosts will be confident in continuing their unbeaten form.

Rafa Benitez's side have been inspired this term and currently sit 8th in the standings while Burnley are still awaiting their first victory of the season in England's top division. Tonight's match kick's off at 8pm and will be aired live on Sky Sports, and I've got three tips for the action below which combined create a 20/1 Bet Builder with Paddy Power.

DCL has started where he left off last season and has 3 goals in as many games for the Toffees. Those 3 goals have come from a team high of 3.7 shots per game. He has found the net in each of the last 3 games against Burnley and will of course be Everton’s main attacking threat tonight. I am leaning towards to home a win which means a goal for DCL would have to be likely.

The Burnley centre back could be in for a long night with having to contain a highly energetic forward line from Everton. He will have Richarlison, Gray and Townsend all taking turns at him and with Tarkowski leading team stats for tackles and fouls he looks a good spot for a booking. He picked up a yellow card in this fixture last season and I think history repeats itself this evening.

Everton have started the season well under Rafa with 2 wins and a draw from 3. Both wins were by a 2 goal margin which would have landed the above line. And although it is still early days Burnley currently find themselves in the relegation zone with 1 sole point to their name. With a packed Goodison and a feel good factor about the club I can only see a comfortable home win tonight.
