Everton will clash heads with Burnley at Turf Moor this Saturday evening as they try to grind out a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Toffees managed to earn a solid 2-0 win over Chelsea recently which should give them a ton of confidence ahead of this game.
Sean Dyche will once again set his men up in a 4-4-1-1 formation and is expected to make a couple of tweaks to his first XI for this game. Both Ben Godfrey and Nathan Patterson will get a chance to catch the eye from the start of this clash.
4-4-1-1 Everton Predicted Lineup To Face Burnley
Defence
Jordan Pickford will feature in between the sticks for the Toffees after securing a clean sheet in his last league appearance. James Tarkowski will play alongside Ben Godfrey at the centre of the Everton backline as they look to keep things solid at the back throughout the 90 minutes.
Nathan Patterson will get the nod to function at right-back while Vitaliy Mykolenko hopes to prove his worth on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will have to be at their best if they are to stop the Burnley wide players from creating too many chances during the game.
Jarrad Branthwaite is suspended for this game while Ashley Young might miss this game due to injury.
Midfield
Amadou Onana and James Garner will operate as the holding midfielders as they try to make a difference at the centre of the park. Dwight McNeil will look to impress on the left flank while Jack Harrison hopes to put his pace to good use on the right wing.
Abdoulaye Doucoure will once again function in the number ten position. He has to find a way to create some inviting chances for his teammates to find the back of the net.
Lewis Dobbin will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second half if required. However, Idrissa Gueye is suspended for this contest.
Attack
Dominic Calvert-Lewin will spearhead Dyche’s attack on his own up top. The English forward would be eager to impress by getting his name on the scoresheet versus Burnley this weekend.
Beto will have to be content with a spot on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the latter stages of the game.
