Everton are set to play Burnley at Goodison Park on Monday in the English Premier League.
Everton come into this game on the back of a 2-0 win over Graham Potter's Brighton & Hove Albion in the league. A first-half goal from winger Demarai Gray and a second-half penalty from striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin ensured victory for Rafa Benitez's Everton.
Burnley, on the other hand, drew 1-1 against Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United in the league. A goal from former Leeds United striker and New Zealand international Chris Wood for Burnley was cancelled out by a goal from attacker Patrick Bamford for Leeds United.

Everton vs Burnley Prediction
Everton fans were not overly happy with the appointment of Rafa Benitez due to his Liverpool connections. However, the Spaniard has enjoyed a good start to life at Everton, and his new signings like Andros Townsend and Demarai Gray have made an immediate impact.
Burnley, on the other hand, were unusually active this summer. They signed Connor Roberts, Nathan Collins and Maxwel Cornet. All three are either injured or doubts to feature, which leaves manager Sean Dyche to once again rely on the players like Dwight McNeil and Chris Wood to produce the goods.
