Everton vs Burnley
17:03
Calvert-Lewin scored a freak goal just before half-time to help Everton to a huge 1-0 win over relegation rivals Burnley at Goodison Park. In a cagey match, it took a mistake from Muric to separate the two sides. He took too long in possession, with his pass bouncing off Calvert-Lewin, looping over his head and into the goal. He made up for his mistake with a big stop to deny the English forward in the second half before O'Shea was sent off for a late slide tackle on McNeil, denying the winger a goal-scoring opportunity. Calvert-Lewin went close again, but his effort from a narrow angle was saved, with Brownhill curling his strike across the goal and wide for the visitors. Burnley needed to respond in the second half but only registered an xG of 0.05 from their two shots. Kompany's men are six points from safety and host Brighton next. As for Everton, their first win in 13 matches sees them jump above Brentford into 15th place. The Toffees travel to Chelsea for their upcoming Premier League match. That's all for today, goodbye.

Everton vs Burnley
16:55
Burnley are putting the pressure on in the final few seconds. Gudmundsson's cross flashes across the goal, with Berge collecting it on the other side. Another Clarets cross goes into the box, but Coleman heads it behind. However, it comes to nothing.
Everton vs Burnley
16:53
Burnley are trying to work the perfect opportunity to score on the edge of Everton's box, but they don’t have enough time. The Clarets then lose the ball, and Doucoure comes forward. He rolls a pass down the left to Beto, who tries to work a shot on his left foot. However, he is tackled by Esteve, who pokes it behind for a corner.
Everton vs Burnley
16:51
There will be five minutes of additional time. It looks like the game might be decided by Calvert-Lewin's fortunate goal just before half-time.
Everton vs Burnley
16:50
Beto rolls past Berge on the left touchline, with the Burnley man pulling his shirt back. He is then shown a yellow card. Everton are getting closer to securing a huge three points.
Everton vs Burnley
16:48
PENALTY SHOUT! Beto races through the middle of the pitch and is in a battle with Berge, who gets a slight touch on the forward as he runs forward. Beto goes down and wants a penalty, but there was nowhere near enough contact. He should have had a shot!
Everton vs Burnley
16:47
Burnley have put plenty of attackers onto the pitch, but they are not finding them. When the Clarets do go long with their passes, they are getting beat in the air by the Everton defence, which is taller and stronger.
Everton vs Burnley
16:43
Everton make their first change. Calvert-Lewin scored the only goal just before half-time and is replaced by Beto, who started the last match.

Pickford launches a long pass down the right to Calvert-Lewin, who battles with Berge but cannot get ahead of the midfielder. Berge then plays a pass back to Muric, who clears it away under pressure.
Everton vs Burnley
16:40
OVER! Calvert-Lewin holds onto the ball well outside Burnley's box and is not put under any pressure by the Clarets' defence. He then plays a short pass to McNeil, who takes a touch of his feet before curling a left-footed strike just over the top-left corner.
Everton vs Burnley
16:40
Some more good work from Foster on the left, who cuts inside before lifting a cross over to Assignon, but his volley is saved by Pickford.
Everton vs Burnley
16:38
Calvert-Lewin ended an 18-game goalless run in the Premier League with his goal against Newcastle. Before today, he last netted in consecutive games in September this season, while he has four in his last six against Burnley.
Everton vs Burnley
16:37
SAVE! McNeil has possession on the left in Burnley's half and sends a throughball towards Calvert-Lewin, who is kept onside by Taylor. He gets to the byline and has a shot from a tight angle, but his chip is saved by Muric.
Everton vs Burnley
16:35
Foster comes in from the right and looks to slide a reverse pass into the box and into the path of Cullen, but Branthwaite slides across to clear it behind for a corner. Burnley are still having moments in this match.
Everton vs Burnley
16:33
Calvert-Lewin drifts out to the right and is next to the touchline in Burnley's half. He skips past Esteve and arrives in the middle of the box before lashing his strike well wide of the target. A good run from the forward without the finish to match it.
Everton vs Burnley
16:32
Burnley have lost six of their eight Premier League away games against Everton, winning the others in October 2017 (1-0) and March 2021 (2-1).
Everton vs Burnley
16:32
Burnley have had seven players sent off in the Premier League this season, more than any other team in the competition
Everton vs Burnley
16:31
CLOSE! Cullen has the ball on the edge of Everton's box and rolls a pass through to Brownhill. He shifts possession onto his right foot before whipping his strike across the goal and just past the right post.
Everton vs Burnley
16:28
Kompany makes a change immediately after O'Shea's red card. Bruun Larsen has looked quiet on the wing and is replaced by Brownhill, who should solidify the midfield.
Everton vs Burnley
16:27
RED CARD TO O'SHEA! Burnley are down to 10 men after O'Shea is shown a straight red card. The defender takes a loose touch, with McNeil poking the ball away from him before being taken out by a slide tackle from the defender.
Everton vs Burnley
16:27
Gomes is over the Everton free-kick just to the right outside Burnley's box, with the Clarets deciding not to make a wall. The Portuguese midfielder goes for goal from distance but whips his right-footed effort towards the top-right corner well over the bar.
Everton vs Burnley
16:25
Cullen steams through the back of Gomes with a slide tackle and gives away a free-kick just outside Burnley's box. Gomes to take it.
Everton vs Burnley
16:24
McNeil surges forward with possession and has plenty of space in the middle of Burnley's half. He looks to slide a thoughball into Calvert-Lewin, but O'Shea does brilliantly to get his body in the way and shield it back to Muric.
Everton vs Burnley
16:21
WIDE! Will Everton be punished for two missed chances? Young gets down the right and has time and space to put a cross into the box. He lifts it over to Doucoure at the back post, but he heads it wide from a narrow angle.
Everton vs Burnley
16:21
Substitution David Datro Fofana Victor Alexander da Silva
Everton vs Burnley
16:20
SAVE! What a chance for Calvert-Lewin to score again and put Everton in a brilliant position to collect all three points. Assignon gifts possession to Calvert-Lewin, who gets down the left side of the box and goes around O'Shea. The forward is one-on-one with Muric, but the goalkeeper makes himself big to stop the shot.
Everton vs Burnley
16:18
CHANCE! Opportunity for Burnley through Berge, who gets onto the end of a pass from left to right and surges into the box. However, his first touch is heavy, allowing Branthwaite to slide across and poke it behind for a corner.
Everton vs Burnley
16:17
Taylor gets down the right and curls a cross towards the back post, with Assignon doing well to head it back into the middle. However, a high foot in the middle allows Everton to regain possession.
Everton vs Burnley
16:16
Burnley haven’t won a match when they have been behind at half-time, drawing two and losing 15. It is admirable that Kompany wants to stick with his possession system, but there are certainly questions about whether it maximises their chances of winning games in a relegation battle.
Everton vs Burnley
16:13
Burnley have had most of the possession for the last couple of minutes, but most of it has been around the halfway line, which Everton have been happy with. The Clarets then go long, but Pickford collects it inside the box.
Everton vs Burnley
16:11
Muric is getting some ironic cheers from the home fans every time he is in possession, with the goalkeeper making decisions much quicker since conceding just before the end of the first half. Once again, it has been a slow start, with neither side having a shot since the restart.
Everton vs Burnley
16:08
Since the start of last season, all nine of Everton’s Premier League home wins have been to nil. They’ve drawn five and lost 17 of their last 22 at Goodison Park when conceding at least once, since a 3-2 win over Crystal Palace in May 2022.
Everton vs Burnley
16:07
Calvert-Lewin wins an early free-kick on the right after getting tripped by Esteve. However, Gomes' right-footed cross is headed away, with Mykolenko's ball into the box moments later wayward.
Everton vs Burnley
16:05
Everton get the ball rolling again. Burnley must forget the mistake from Muric and focus on getting back into the match. Another defeat would see them remain six points behind 17th-placed Forest, who have a game in hand.
Everton vs Burnley
15:59
That was a cagey first half that ended with a freak goal for Calvert-Lewin. The Toffees have only had one shot on target, with it coming from their goal seconds before the end. The hosts have created an xG of 0.3 from their five shots and didn’t look like scoring before Muric's mistake. As for Burnley, manager Kompany probably cannot believe the way that his side conceded in what is a huge contest at the bottom of the Premier League table. The Clarets have also disappointed going forward, registering an xG of 0.41 from their four shots, but will have to come from behind if they want to get anything out of this game. Odobert and Fofana have looked promising individually, but they must work better together up front if they want to put the Everton defence under pressure.
Everton vs Burnley
15:54
Calvert-Lewin scored his second goal in two matches to give Everton a 1-0 lead over Burnley heading into half-time at Goodison Park. It was a first 45 minutes that lacked any quality in the attack, with Branthwaite dragging a shot wide and McNeil and Young having shots blocked for the hosts. Taylor's powerful effort from inside the box was stopped by Coleman, with Bruun Larsen curling a free-kick over the bar and Fofana heading their only shot on target of the half straight at Pickford. It looked like the score would be goalless at half-time before a massive mistake from Muric. He took too long in possession on the edge of his box, allowing Calvert-Lewin to block his pass, with the ball looping over his head and into the net.

15:47
Odobert gets past the halfway line and rushes beyond Gomes, who kicks his leg and goes into the book.
Everton vs Burnley
15:47
BLOCK! Mykolenko bursts down the left before curling a cross into the box, ignoring Calvert-Lewin in the middle and instead searching for Young, who is free. However, his volley is blocked at close range.
Everton vs Burnley
15:44
Gomes lofts a free-kick from the right into the box, with Fofana heading it away. Berge and Tarkowski get into a tussle behind the striker, with the Everton man hitting the floor. He holds his face but gets back to his feet when the attack is over.
Everton vs Burnley
15:43
Coleman and Odobert battle for the ball next to the right corner flag in Burnley's half, with nothing separating the pair before support comes from either side. Young then tries to win a corner by hitting the ball against a Burnley player, but the assistant referee points for a goal-kick. Young is furious.
Everton vs Burnley
15:41
SAVE! Fofana gets onto a corner from the left and flicks his header on target, but the ball goes straight at Pickford, who makes a simple save.
Everton vs Burnley
15:41
Everton won seven of their first eight home Premier League games under Dyche when they scored the first goal (drawing one), only conceding one goal in those eight games. However, they have lost their last two when scoring first, losing both games 3-1 to Manchester City and West Ham. The first goal will be vital in this contest as there has been a lack of attacking quality. Everton have only created an xG of 0.05 compared to Burnley's 0.18.
Everton vs Burnley
15:39
There is a stoppage in play, with McNeil needing medical assistance. The teams take some time to talk in the dugouts before the match restarts. McNeil is fine to continue.
Everton vs Burnley
15:37
McNeil and Taylor both go for the ball in the air, with the pair clashing heads. The referee immediately tells the medical team on the pitch, with McNeil struggling more than Taylor.
Everton vs Burnley
15:35
Bruun Larsen is over the free-kick on the left corner just outside the box, but he whips his effort across the goal and just over the bar. Pickford watched it all the way.
Everton vs Burnley

Yellow Card James Alan Tarkowski
Everton vs Burnley
15:35
Tarkowski lunges across Esteve and gives away a free-kick in a promising shooting position for Burnley. Somehow, he gets away without a yellow card.
Everton vs Burnley
15:34
Foster drives into the box and looks to play an unselfish pass across to Fofana, but Branthwaite dives across to intercept it.
Everton vs Burnley
15:33
Burnley are starting to gain some confidence and are staying composed in possession. Foster and Assignon are combining down the right and are making things difficult for Everton's defence. The Toffees are looking rushed, with Pickford clearing the ball straight out for a throw-in under little pressure.
Everton vs Burnley
15:30
CLOSE! Assignon has been one of the most exciting players on the pitch in what has been a cagey contest. He shows some brilliant feet to get past McNeil on the right before driving a low cross into the box, but Tarkowski and Pickford work together to clear it away.
Everton vs Burnley
15:27
Mykolenko's cross towards the edge of the box is flicked to Young by Calvert-Lewin. The Englishman waits for support before looking to slide a pass through to Doucoure but sends it straight out for a goal-kick. Audible frustrations from the home fans are growing.
Everton vs Burnley
15:26
Everton have lost nine of their last 14 Premier League home games against promoted sides (winning three and drawing two), as many defeats as they’d suffered in their previous 64 such games (winning 46 and drawing nine). They have been slightly better than Burnley but are wasting too many chances through poor runs that have allowed the Clarets' defence to catch them offside.
Everton vs Burnley
15:24
CHANCE! Burnley come forward for the first time through Foster, who gets into Everton's box and wins a strong tackle on Mykolenko. His shot from a tight angle rebounds off a defender and to Taylor on the left. However, his powerful effort is blocked by Coleman.
Everton vs Burnley
15:22
McNeil comes in from the right and looks for a shot on his left foot just outside the box, but his tame effort is blocked by O'Shea's foot.
Everton vs Burnley
15:21
A very poor moment from Doucoure. McNeil gains possession in Burnley's half and drives forward with the ball before unleashing Doucoure, who is well offside. The Toffees would have had a chance to put the ball into the box if he held his run.
Everton vs Burnley
15:19
Mykolenko slides a clever throughball down the left to Doucoure, who gets to the byline before driving a cutback towards Calvert-Lewin. However, Muric dives across to claim it.
Everton vs Burnley
15:18
Branthwaite wins possession off Fofana with a good slide tackle and has space for a shot on the edge of the box. However, he drags his effort well wide of the right post. It would have probably been smarter to retain possession, but it has lifted the home fans in Goodison Park.
Everton vs Burnley
15:16
Goodison Park was lively before the start, but it has quieted. The Everton fans haven’t had much to cheer for, but neither have Burnley. The Clarets have put some nice passing moves together. However, they haven’t put the home defence under any real pressure.
Everton vs Burnley
15:14
Garner shows some quick thinking to poke a loose ball through Taylor's legs, with the Burnley man sliding in with a late tackle. Gomes sends the following free-kick into the box from a deep position, but the flag goes up for offside against Branthwaite.
Everton vs Burnley
15:13
This is the third meeting between Everton and Burnley in all competitions this season, with the Toffees winning 3-0 in the EFL Cup and 2-0 in the Premier League so far. The last time they beat a team three times in the same season while keeping a clean sheet each time was in 1995-96 against Blackburn. However, this is certainly the most important meeting, as it is a huge clash at the bottom of the league. It has shown with a cagey start, with neither side having a shot.
Everton vs Burnley
15:10
CLOSE! There is some wrestling in the box, with the referee talking to the players before a corner is allowed to be taken on the right. McNeil's inswinging cross is dangerous, flashing it into the box but out for a goal-kick.
Everton vs Burnley
15:08
Pickford finds Coleman surging forward with a fanatic past down the right, with the full-back getting to the byline before looking for a cutback to Calvert-Lewin. However, Esteve gets across to poke it away.
Everton vs Burnley
15:07
Everton have had most of the possession in the early exchanges but are struggling to find a way through Burnley. Garner then gives away the ball with a loose pass, which allows the Clarets to race forward. However, the attack comes to nothing.
Everton vs Burnley
15:04
Pickford is going long at every opportunity for Everton and is looking for Calvert-Lewin. The forward finds Doucoure, who lays a pass down the right to Coleman, but his cross is collected well by Muric.
Everton vs Burnley
15:01
Burnley get this Premier League clash under way. Before the start, there was a round of applause for one minute for former Everton player Jimmy Husband.
Everton vs Burnley
15:01
Everton are looking to complete their first league double over Burnley since 2018-19, having won 2-0 at Turf Moor in the reverse fixture. Both teams are on the pitch and are ready to get started.
Everton vs Burnley
14:47
Burnley make one alteration to the team that drew 1-1 with Wolves in their last match. Assignon returns from suspension and replaces Vitinho at right-back.
Everton vs Burnley
14:47
Everton make four changes to the side that drew 1-1 with Newcastle in their last outing in the Premier League. Calvert-Lewin ended his 23-game run in all competitions without a goal and replaces Beto up front. Garner and Gomes come into the midfield, with Andre Onana and Idrissa Gueye out of the squad. Coleman captains the side and appears at right-back instead of Godfrey.

Everton vs Burnley
14:37
Burnley have shown signs of promise in the last few weeks and are unbeaten in their previous four matches. However, Vincent Kompany will be frustrated with three draws in that run. The Clarets took a 2-0 lead against West Ham before the Hammers came from behind to earn a point, before beating 10-man Brentford 2-1. A hearty 2-2 draw with Chelsea followed, with Burnley dropping points in their last match against Wolves. Jacob Bruun Larsen’s 37th-minute goal gave them. The lead before Rayan Ait-Nouri levelled just before half-time. As a result, Burnley are in 19th position and are in danger of an immediate return to the Championship. They are six points behind Nottingham Forest, who are just outside the relegation zone and will be desperate to get the better of an out-of-form Everton side under former manager Sean Dyche.
Everton vs Burnley
14:37
Everton extended their torrid winless run in the Premier League to 13 games with a 1-1 draw with Newcastle in their previous fixture, only once going longer without a league victory in their history (14 matches in 1937). However, it is not all negative for the Toffees, who will take pride in snatching a draw at St James' Park, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin scoring his first goal in 18 top-flight outings with an 88th-minute penalty after Alexander Isak opened the scoring for the Magpies in the first half. It means Everton are in 16th position, just four points above Luton Town in the relegation zone, but they have played one fewer fixture than the Hatters.
