Everton vs Burnley LIVE: Kick-Off Time, TV Channel, Stream Link & Key Team News for Crucial Premier League Showdown

Everton vs Burnley takes centre stage this evening as Sean Dyche’s resurgent Toffees welcome a Clarets side scrambling for survival to Hill Dickinson Stadium, kick-off 19:30 UTC (14:30 ET). Everton sit 8th on 40 points and could climb into the European conversation with back-to-back home wins, while 19th-placed Burnley, marooned on 19 points, desperately need a first league victory since January to keep the great escape alive. Key storylines • Home fortress: Everton boast four wins from their last five on Merseyside, conceding just twice in that span. Dyche’s compact 4-2-3-1 has yielded a league-low 33 goals against outside the top six. • Clarets’ travel sickness: Burnley have taken only four points from 42 away, shipping 31 goals on the road – worst in the division. • Set-piece duel: Everton rank third for goals from corners; Burnley have allowed 11 from dead-ball situations, also third-worst, a mismatch Dyche will try to exploit. • Beto vs Trafford: Portuguese striker Beto leads Everton’s press with 4.1 shots per 90. James Trafford returns in goal for Burnley after a hip knock and will face an aerial bombardment. Predicted line-ups Everton (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Mykolenko, Branthwaite, Tarkowski, O’Brien; Garner, Gueye; McNeil, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye; Beto. Burnley (3-4-2-1): Trafford; Collins, O’Shea, Hartman; Roberts, Ugochukwu, Cullen, Taylor; Amdouni, Bruun Larsen; Foster. Latest odds (DraftKings) Everton -160 | Draw +290 | Burnley +475. Over 2.5 goals +105; Under 2.5 -135. Head-to-head Everton are unbeaten in six league meetings since April 2022, winning four and drawing two. The reverse fixture ended goalless at Turf Moor in December. Injury news Everton: Jack Grealish (thigh) remains sidelined; Patterson returns to the bench. Burnley: Zian Flemming (calf) is out; Parker hands first starts of 2026 to Florentino Luis and Andi Weimann. Tactical preview • Everton will overload the left flank, where McNeil isolates Roberts before whipping crosses toward Beto. • Burnley’s back three must track late runs from Dewsbury-Hall, whose five goals all came from inside the box. • Expect Dyche to press high early, forcing Burnley into long balls that suit Branthwaite and Tarkowski aerially. Prediction Everton 2-0 Burnley. The Toffees’ set-piece prowess and Burnley’s away woes point toward a routine home win that could see Dyche’s men leapfrog Brentford into seventh.
