Seamus Coleman and Lucas Digne are the only absentees for Everton, who report no other injury concerns.

Did you know?

None of the 12 Premier League meetings between Burnley (five wins) and Everton (seven) have been drawn, with only Manchester United v Wigan Athletic (16), Aston Villa v Derby County (14) and Man Utd v Watford (14) being played more often in the competition without a draw. 

This will be Burnley manager Sean Dyche’s 200th PL match in charge, making him the 35th manager to reach that milestone. Only four of the previous 15 English managers to reach the milestone have won their 200th match (Alan Pardew, Roy Hodgson, Steve Bruce and Glenn Hoddle). 

Burnley have won four of their six PL home matches against Everton (L2), winning the corresponding fixture 1-0 last season. 

Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored the opening goal in four different PL contests this season, more than any other player.
