Burnley claimed a major scalp in their first home match back in the top flight as they pulled off a shock 1-0 victory against champions Manchester United at Turf Moor in midweek.
While Burnley did lose their first game this season they bounced back in a big way thanks to a win over Manchester United. They stayed strong and competed well with the English giants and pulled out the victory thanks to a goal from Robbie Blake in the 18th minute. If they can get the same impressive play from Blake and goalkeeper Brian Jensen then Burnley may be able to pull off another upset this weekend.
In their only game so far this EPL season Everton was blown out of the water by Arsenal. They could not get anything started except for a goal from Saha, and couldn’t stop the barrage of goals from Arsenal. They will need to come up with a much more consistent all around effort if they want to compete against Burnley and climb out of the basement of the English Premier League. You can be sure David Moyes will have his team fired up and ready for the game this weekend.
That saw them bounce back from their opening day defeat at Stoke City while Everton also recovered. After going down 6-1 at home to Arsenal, they chalked up a 4-0 win over Sigma Olomouc in the Europa League qualifer.
The Clarets have not lost in their last five top flight meetings with the Merseysiders, the most recent in 1976.
