Everton prepares to face Burnley, with both teams looking to improve their Premier League form. The match sees David Moyes and Scott Parker face off, a managerial matchup that has produced very few goals in recent encounters.
Everton’s Home Form Under Pressure
Everton are winless in their last six Premier League home games, last going longer without a home win in October 1998 (9). The Toffees have lost their last two at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, but haven’t lost three home league matches in a row since September 2023 (a run of 4). Everton have failed to win any of their four Premier League games against newly promoted sides so far this season. Only once has David Moyes had a longer winless run against promoted teams as Toffees boss, going five without a victory between March and November 2010.
Since the start of September, just five of Everton’s 14 home goals in the Premier League have come from open play (3x corner, 2x free-kick, 2x throw, 2x penalty). This is the fewest open play home goals of any side in the competition in this time.
Burnley’s Away Record and Goalscoring
Burnley have won three of their last 21 away games against Everton in all competitions (D3 L15), all top-flight wins in 1975-76, 2017-18, and 2020-21. Burnley have come from behind to avoid defeat in three of their last four away league games (W1 D2 L1). Indeed, only in 2018-19 have they recovered more points from losing positions on the road in a Premier League season (7) than they have in 2025-26 (6).
Burnley have scored more Premier League goals when losing than any other side in the Premier League this season (21), with all three of their strikes against Brentford last time out coming when they were behind. Zian Flemming has scored six of Burnley’s 17 away goals in the Premier League this season; only Chris Wood in 2020-21 has ever scored more on the road in a single campaign for the Clarets (7).
Moyes vs Parker: A History of Tight Games
The previous three Premier League meetings between Everton’s David Moyes and Burnley’s Scott Parker have seen just one goal scored. Both of the last two have ended 0-0 – only two managerial match-ups have had three consecutive goalless draws in the competition: George Graham vs Gerry Francis (Arsenal v QPR, 1992-1994) and Brian Little vs Alex Ferguson (Aston Villa v Man Utd, 1996-1997).
Barry’s Recent Form
After scoring in none of his first 14 Premier League appearances for Everton, Thierno Barry has now scored six in his last 14. His winner against Newcastle last time out was his first goal from the bench in the competition.
Lineups are announced and players are warming up.
