Burnley vs Everton: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Explore Coral's detailed preview for Burnley vs Everton in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 15:00 GMT match.

• Fixture: Burnley vs Everton
• Date: Saturday, 27 December 2025
• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT
• Venue: Turf Moor

Burnley's recent form has been challenging, with a draw against Bournemouth being their only point from their last five matches. This might suggest a lack of confidence going into the game against Everton. However, their predicted 4-4-2 formation could offer a solid defensive structure, potentially allowing them to frustrate Everton and look for opportunities on the counter-attack.

Everton, on the other hand, have had a mixed bag of results, with two wins and three losses in their recent outings. Their predicted 4-2-3-1 formation indicates a more attacking approach, which could put pressure on Burnley's defence. If Everton can capitalise on their recent victories and maintain their attacking momentum, they might just edge out a win in a closely contested match.

Burnley's recent form has been far from ideal, with just one draw and four losses in their last five matches. The draw against Bournemouth away from home might give them a slight boost in confidence, but the string of losses, including two at home, suggests a team struggling to find their rhythm. This lack of positive results could impact their performance against Everton, as they'll be looking to turn their fortunes around.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Draw: 1-1 vs Bournemouth (A)

• Loss: 2-3 vs Fulham (H)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Newcastle (A)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Crystal Palace (H)

• Loss: 1-3 vs Brentford (A)

Everton have shown a bit more resilience in their recent performances, securing two wins amidst three losses. Their victories against Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth indicate they can be competitive, especially perhaps at home. However, the losses to Arsenal, Chelsea, and Newcastle show they can be vulnerable against stronger sides. This mixed form might give them the edge they need to approach the game against Burnley with cautious optimism.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Loss: 0-1 vs Arsenal (H)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Chelsea (A)

• Win: 3-0 vs Nottingham Forest (H)

• Win: 1-0 vs Bournemouth (A)

• Loss: 1-4 vs Newcastle (H)

The head-to-head record between Burnley and Everton shows a recent dominance by Everton, with three wins in their last five encounters. The most recent match saw Everton win 1-0 at home, while the previous meeting resulted in a 2-0 victory for Everton. However, Burnley did manage a 3-2 win in April 2022, indicating they can be competitive. This pattern suggests Everton might have the upper hand going into the match.

• Predicted lineup: Dubravka (GK), Laurent (DF), Worrall (DF), Ekdal (DF), Pires (DF), Walker (MF), Ugochukwu (MF), Cullen (MF), Anthony (MF), Larsen (AT), Flemming (AT)

Burnley's predicted 4-4-2 formation suggests a balanced approach, with Laurent, Worrall, Ekdal, and Pires forming a solid backline. The midfield quartet of Walker, Ugochukwu, Cullen, and Anthony could provide both defensive stability and the ability to transition quickly into attack, supporting forwards Larsen and Flemming.

• Predicted lineup: Pickford (GK), O'Brien (DF), Tarkowski (DF), Keane (DF), Mykolenko (DF), Iroegbunam (MF), Garner (MF), McNeil (MF), Alcaraz (MF), Grealish (MF), Barry (AT)

Everton's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation indicates an intent to control the midfield and attack. With O'Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, and Mykolenko at the back, they should have a strong defensive foundation. The midfield duo of Iroegbunam and Garner will look to dictate play, while McNeil, Alcaraz, and Grealish support the lone striker Barry in pushing forward.

• Larsen vs Mykolenko: Larsen's pace and movement could test Mykolenko's defensive capabilities.
• Ugochukwu vs Alcaraz: Ugochukwu's control in midfield will be crucial against Alcaraz's creative play.
• Cullen (Burnley): Cullen's experience and composure in midfield will be vital for Burnley's stability.
• McNeil (Everton): McNeil's ability to create and score could be the difference for Everton.
