Can Everton outperform Burnley in Goodison Park clash?

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

In the game before, an away victory in the Carabao Cup match versus Huddersfield Town with a 2-1 scoreline.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Everton's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won three matches, drawn zero and lost zero.

Before that, Burnley travelled to Newcastle United (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) and returned home with a draw after the Carabao Cup game finished 0-0.
