Saturday

Burnley (19) v Everton (8)

Kick-off: 12.30pm. Venue: Turf Moor. On TV: Live on BT Sport 1.

Goalkeeper Nick Pope is in contention to return after missing the thrashing at Manchester City because of concussion. Midfield trio Josh Brownhill, Robbie Brady and Dale Stephens could also be available.

Everton are without both first-choice full-backs — Lucas Digne (ankle) and Seamus Coleman (hamstring) — so boss Carlo Ancelotti is likely to persist with his 3-4-3 formation, with midfielders Tom Davies and Alex Iwobi filling the wing-back positions.
