Everton hosts Burnley in round 37 of English Premier League. The match will be played on Friday, May 3rd at Goodison Park (Liverpool)
If one judges by the names and organization of the game, the Toffees look very decent; however, they do not excel at the stability of results, therefore they have certain problems in the standings. Marco Silva failed to improve the situation for the better when he became the head coach. A couple of weeks ago, the Toffees misfired where no one expected it. It is likely that Fulham is already preparing for a new life - Scott Parker was appointed, and he will need to bring the team back to the elite in the upcoming season. Interestingly, in that meeting against the Cottagers, Andre Gomes intentionally stepped on Mitrovich’s foot in one of the episodes and therefore was disqualified for three games. Yerry Mina is also injured now, which is a serious loss for the Toffees. Currently, Everton ranks 7th, with 49 points in its asset. However, it will be incredibly difficult for the Liverpool club to hold onto it, because Watford, Leicester and Wolverhampton are within one point. Moreover, Watford has the opportunity to get into the Europa League through the FA Cup, where the team meets Manchester City in the final. In general, the Toffees have a difficult situation, but they can succeed in getting to the European cups following the results of this season.

The fact that the Clarets have a temper has been known for a long time. Once again, they demonstrated it immediately after the matches of the Euro 2020 qualifiers. Burnley balanced on the verge of the relegation zone, so the team needed points. And then we saw how the Clarets alternately beat Wolverhampton, Bournemouth and Cardiff. Such a wonderful spurt shortly before the finish almost guarantees Burnley a place in the elite of English football for the next season. It is likely that Sean Dyche’s men poorly started this season because they started preparing for the season too early. Burnley began to show the first sparks of life in the new calendar year. Currently, the Clarets can practically relax - they have 8 points of advantage over the relegation zone, which should be enough, even if they don’t score points in the remaining matches. In the next matches, the coaching staff will not be able to count on Aaron Lennon, Steven Defour and Peter Crouch, and besides, Phil Bardsley’s participation in the meeting is questionable. “Burnley” shows not the best playing in defense in this season; however, this team has everything to play better in the next season.
The first leg match at the Turf Moor stadium ended without the slightest chance for the hosts. Far by the 22nd minute, Everton won with a 3: 0 score, which did not give even the least chance to the Clarets, whose class is much lower than the Toffees’. Everton controlled the game, so it brought the match to a confident victory - 5: 1. Over the past 10 years, the teams played 9 times with each other; the Toffees celebrated victory 5 times, and the Clarets - 4. It is difficult to compare the level of motivation that the players of Everton and Burnley will have. As for the team from Liverpool, it continues to fight for getting into the Europa League zone. Nevertheless, Burnley has already fulfilled its modest tasks for the season, so it will simply play it out. The Clarets are solidly inferior to the upcoming opponent in the organization of the game, individual skill and desire to win. Burnley players don’t need to show their temper anymore, so they will not gain points at Goodison Park.
Prediction for the match: Everton to win
