Burnley v Everton: Premier League – live!

8.47am EST 08:47

58 min: Taylor ships possession cheaply in the centre circle. Everton flood forward. James Rodriguez shapes to shoot, then flicks towards Richarlison on the left. Lowton reads a poor pass and heads clear. Everton’s final ball has, for the most part, been dismally lacking.

8.44am EST 08:44

56 min: Pickford flaps at the corner, under pressure from Brownhill. Under too much pressure, it transpires, and the whistle goes for a free kick.

8.44am EST 08:44

55 min: Brady comes bowling down the right and wins a corner off Godfrey. A few Burnley eyes light up.

8.43am EST 08:43

54 min: Everton threaten to launch a couple of dangerous counter-attacks, but with Burnley light at the back and plenty of yellow shirts offering themselves, James Rodriguez and then Gomes pass straight to the opposition.

8.40am EST 08:40

51 min: A little time and space is afforded to James Rodriguez on the edge of the Burnley D. Really bad idea. James opens his body and curls towards the top left. Pope makes an excellent fingertip save. So close to a stunning goal by Everton’s star man.

8.39am EST 08:39

50 min: Brady and Lowton combine well on the right touchline, nearly opening Everton up. Not this time, but a nifty interchange nonetheless.

8.37am EST 08:37

48 min: Brady hoicks into the box from the right. Keane does well to head clear under pressure from Wood and Jay Rodriguez. Both teams have had a talking-to during the break, I’ll be bound.

8.36am EST 08:36

46 min: Everton are immediately on the front foot. Iwobi curls in from the right. Calvert-Lewin can’t connect. Richarlison bashes a shot into the ground. The ball breaks to Gomes, who batters a shot goalwards from 12 yards. Lawton bravely spreads himself and blocks with his back. The flag eventually goes up for offside, but what an opening to the second half!

8.20am EST 08:20

HALF TIME: Burnley 1-1 Everton

That equaliser had been coming, and it arrived just in the nick of time from Everton’s perspective. Sean Dyche strides off briskly and purposefully, with the brooding air of a man who is about to turn the hairdryer up to 11.

8.19am EST 08:19

GOAL! Burnley 1-1 Everton (Calvert-Lewin 45+3)

Allan wins the ball off Westwood and rolls down the left for Richarlison, who whips into the centre. Calvert-Lewin comes in at full tilt, extending a leg and studding into the bottom right!

8.17am EST 08:17

45 min +2: Brownhill is back on after a brief dab down with a wet sponge.

8.17am EST 08:17

45 min +1: The first of three added minutes goes by without incident.

8.16am EST 08:16

45 min: VAR isn’t interested. There didn’t appear to be any intention, Gomes turning to protect himself as he came together with Brownhill.

8.15am EST 08:15

44 min: Brownhill goes down after a clash with Gomes. No free kick, even though he took an elbow on the jaw. The referee eventually stops play and VAR is going to take a look.

8.14am EST 08:14

42 min: James Rodriguez swishes a wonderful reverse ball down the left to release Gomes into acres. Gomes fizzes the ball into the six-yard box. Tarkowski does well to hack clear with yellow shirts preparing to swarm. The flag eventually goes up for offside. Everton look so much better since their enforced change of shape.

8.12am EST 08:12

41 min: A long Pope clearance down the middle. Wood brings it down, lays off to McNeil, and spins. McNeil returns the ball, releasing Wood into the box. Pickford comes out to block brilliantly. A big chance for Burnley there, somewhat against the run of play.

8.11am EST 08:11

40 min: Richarlison crosses from the left. Tarkowski flicks away from Calvert-Lewin at the expense of a corner. Nothing comes of the set piece.

8.09am EST 08:09

39 min: Pickford punches Westwood’s corner away with great feeling. Everton attempt to launch a counter but James Rodriguez plays an uncharacteristically poor speculative pass forward.

8.08am EST 08:08

38 min: McNeil crosses deep from the left. Keane eyebrows away just in time, with Tarkowski winding his neck back nearby. Corner kick.

8.07am EST 08:07

36 min: Richarlison sashays down the left and pearls a shot well wide of goal. “I don’t know whether I’m too unsophisticated to understand, but I think Everton just need to make more tackles,” writes Everton’s Gary Naylor. “And that puts a lot of stress on Doucouré and Allan because not many others seem keen.” Picking Marco Silva over a certain Sean Dyche, a sliding-doors moment right there.

8.04am EST 08:04

34 min: Iwobi crosses from a deep position on the right. Calvert-Lewin flicks on elegantly for Richarlison, but the Brazilian is miles offside and the flag goes up. Everton are showing signs of flickering into life.

8.02am EST 08:02

32 min: Iwobi makes good down the right and nearly finds Calvert-Lewin in the middle with a clever diagonal pass, threaded between two players. Just a little too much on it. Iwobi’s looked lively.

8.01am EST 08:01

31 min: Doucoure makes a positive burst down the middle and slips a pass down the inside-left channel for Calvert-Lewin. He could have a first-time shot but instead takes a couple of steps and wins a corner off Mee. Nothing comes of the set piece. Much better from Everton, though.

7.59am EST 07:59

29 min: It takes a disconsolate Delph some time to limp off. Another spell in the treatment room for the poor chap. Andre Gomes comes on to take his place.

7.57am EST 07:57

27 min: Delph accelerates down the left wing and immediately pulls up, clutching the back of his leg. There goes his hamstring. He hobbles off in an extremely downcast manner.

7.54am EST 07:54

23 min: Brady tries to release Wood down the middle. The pass is too heavy. A huge gap in the middle of the Everton defence, though. The visitors don’t seem particularly comfortable with their gameplan.

7.52am EST 07:52

22 min: Brownhill has a dig from 25 yards. It’s always flying wide left. Doucoure let him slip by with ease, though. Everton’s midfield need to sharpen up quicksmart.

7.51am EST 07:51

20 min: Doucoure gifts the ball to Brownhill, who drives down the inside-left. His pass forward, intended to release Wood, is too strong and claimed by Pickford. Doucoure and Allan haven’t been on it in the Everton midfield at all.

7.48am EST 07:48

18 min: Richarlison spins away from Lowton down the left. Calvert-Lewin is in the middle, but arriving a little too late, so Richarlison takes on a shot from a tight angle instead. Pope claims.

7.47am EST 07:47

17 min: Burnley ping it around the midfield for a while. They’re playing with confidence. They certainly don’t look like a relegation-haunted outfit right now.

7.46am EST 07:46

15 min: Lowton again looks for Wood, this time down the left. Wood briefly threatens to take control and bust into the box, but doesn’t quite manage it.

7.45am EST 07:45

14 min: James Rodriguez rolls a ball down the right channel for Iwobi, who replicates his low cross of a minute ago. Nobody in yellow is at the near post, and Pope can smother. There’s no way this is going to end 1-0. But who scores next?

7.44am EST 07:44

13 min: Everton finally bare their teeth. Iwobi whips in low from the right. Calvert-Lewin sticks a leg out at the near post. Pope blocks unconventionally with both shins. The ball’s hacked clear. This is an entertaining game.

7.43am EST 07:43

12 min: But you can see why. Lowton intercepts a Pickford throw-out and barges his way down the right. He whips low, hoping to find Jay Rodriguez in the middle. Godfrey does extremely well to block and bundle clear.

7.41am EST 07:41

11 min: Lowton down the right for Wood. Mina covers, Pickford clears. This is getting old.

7.40am EST 07:40

9 min: Lowton pings a ball down the right for Wood. Pickford is forced to race out of his box to blooter clear, with Keane and Mina nowhere. Burnley have clearly decided this flank is ripe for the picking.

7.37am EST 07:37

7 min: James Rodriguez, just to the side of the D, takes a whack. His effort is blocked, but he was allowed too much space there. Burnley will have to watch that.

7.36am EST 07:36

6 min: Burnley now have something to defend. This is going to be a test for Everton. Though the home team aren’t sitting back; Brady pearls a pass down the right and nearly releases Wood, but Pickford is out to the edge of his box to claim.

7.34am EST 07:34

4 min: On the touchline, a frowning Carlo Ancelotti chews gum with great vigour. Not sure this is breaking news, but there it is.

7.33am EST 07:33

GOAL! Burnley 1-0 Everton (Brady 3)

Well, you can scrub that! Allan and Doucoure faff about in the midfield and the ball rolls to Brady, who takes a touch, uses Keane as a shield, and whistles a low drive into the bottom left, Pickford unable to extend an arm far enough to do anything about it. What a start!

Burnley get the ball rolling on a chilly day in Lancashire … but only after everyone takes a knee. No room for racism.

7.28am EST 07:28

The teams are out! Burnley are in their lovely traditional claret and blue, while Everton reference their appearance in the 1968 FA Cup final with a gorgeous yellow change shirt. As Miles Davis would say, everyone is looking cleaner than a [12-letter word redacted by Family Website editor]. We’ll be off in a couple of minutes! “This is a must win for Everton in this topsy-turvy season,” writes Mary Waltz. “Was our fast start a mirage or is this year different from our typical mid-table mediocrity? On pins and needles.”

7.17am EST 07:17

Carlo Ancelotti’s turn. “We need more confidence, more consistency, more balance. The last two games we have improved, but it would be a good signal today to have a good performance, play well and have points. I had some good ideas in training and it worked well, but the test is today. It will be tough against a strong team with good organisation.”

7.05am EST 07:05

Sean Dyche, taking charge of Burnley in the Premier League for the 200th time today, speaks to BT Sport. “The way the game’s changed, for British managers, achieving things in the Premier League, or being in the Premier League, is a task, and a tough one at that. We’ve earned our way into it, and kept in there with good planning and good preparation and lots of hard work – not just by myself, I have a really good staff and group of players. Our injury list is getting better and stronger, that’s been affecting us of course. We’ve got to get back to performances like Palace, when we were on the front foot early in the game and defended resolutely.”

6.38am EST 06:38

Burnley make three changes to the side spanked at the Etihad last week. Nick Pope, Josh Brownhill and Robbie Brady come in for Bailey Peacock-Farrell, Josh Benson and Ashley Barnes.

Two changes for Everton from the side that lost at home to Leeds. Yerry Mina and Fabian Delph replace Mason Holgate and Tom Davies.

6.34am EST 06:34

Preamble

Everton’s seven-game winning sequence at the start of the season seems a long time ago now. Since then, they’ve played six matches, all in the Premier League, losing four, drawing one and winning another, and they made hard work of that against struggling Fulham.

On the face of it, a visit to second-from-bottom Burnley looks an ideal opportunity to regain some of that lost momentum. Especially as Sean Dyche – 200 Premier League games up today! – is presiding over a side who have lost six of their opening nine, have only scored two goals in their last eight, and were battered 5-0 at Manchester City last weekend.

But it’s hardly fair to judge a team on a performance away at City. Before that, they’d drawn at Brighton and picked up their first three-pointer of the season at home to Crystal Palace. Signs that the Burnley of old was beginning to rouse from its slumber. Additionally, Everton don’t usually fancy it at Turf Moor, having lost four of their last six league matches there, and failed to keep a clean sheet on their last 22 visits, a run stretching back to 1958. 1958!

Perhaps more relevant: Burnley won this fixture 1-0 last year, while Everton smashed it 5-1 the year before, an exception that very much shatters the rule. So good luck calling this one correctly, though with both teams desperate for the statement victory that’d get their season back on track, this could be great fun. It’s on!

Kick off: 12.30pm GMT.
