Everton expected to be without five players for Burnley Premier League clash

Everton take on Burnley in the Premier League at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon.

David Moyes will want his side to bounce back from the 1-0 defeat against Arsenal over the weekend and take the positives from that one.

A win against Burnley will see Everton climbing up the table and they could end the weekend in sixth place if results elsewhere also go in their favour.

David Moyes has small selection dilemma for Burnley clash

Moyes, like most Premier League managers, has to pick his squad based on how many players are out on international duty at AFCON.

Idrissa Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye are not expected back until mid-January as they are currently representing Senegal.

However, apart from those two, injury expert Ben Dinnery does not expect three other players to be available.

Via his website Premier Injuries, Dinnery claims that Seamus Coleman will not be returning to action until 31 January due to his hamstring injury.

Jarrad Branthwaite and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are also not expected to be back from their respective injury issues and will be ruled out for this one.

How does a Supercomputer see Everton vs Burnley panning out?

The Toffees will be looking to get only their fourth away win of the Premier League season when they visit Turf Moor over the weekend.

Given Burnley’s struggles, Moyes’ side are expected to be slight favourites for this one and the Scotsman will demand three points from his side.

That assessment is something Opta’s Supercomputer agrees with, as Everton are given a 44.9 per cent chance to win the game.

Burnley have been handed a 30.2 per cent chance of getting the three points, with a draw being the least likely outcome.

How will Moyes set up against Scott Parker’s side?

Moyes has the habit of setting up a more robust team as his side are usually the underdogs in games.

However, one can expect Everton to line up in a much more fluid shape, looking to get the best out of the likes of Jack Grealish and Charly Alcaraz.

There is a good chance that the Blues manager decides to start Tyler Dibling for this one, as he’s capable of running at the Clarets defence and creating havoc in the final third for the visitors.
