Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Burnley

After Arsenal eased past Brighton at the Emirates, we now make our way to Merseyside as Everton welcome Burnley to Goodison Park.

The Toffees’ start to the season has been far from convincing yet they have scored seven goals in their last three home matches across all competitions.

Budget frontmen Oumar Niasse and Dominic Calvert-Lewin – at 5.0 apiece in FPL – are both handed starts but Wayne Rooney’s 11% FPL owners are left disappointed as Ronald Koeman drops him to the bench for the first time this season.

Elsewhere for the hosts, Gylfi Sigurdsson looks to stake a claim for our five-man midfields ahead of clashes with Brighton, Leicester, Watford and Palace in the next five.

But Burnley’s away form will worry the home side.

Sean Dyche’s men have claimed points on the road at Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool, with Robbie Brady and Chris Wood looking their likeliest source of attacking points.

Like their hosts, the Clarets also have fine upcoming fixtures – they entertain West Ham, Newcastle and Swansea and travel to Southampton in the subsequent five.

    Batshuayi at 8.1 seems to be going under the radar.

    His goalscoring record speaks for itself, has a fixture against the worst team in the league, and if Morata is confirmed out, he'll surely be given a starting role.

      He isn't 'sure' of anything. Conte barely trusts him as evidenced by not bringing him on yday when Morata went off.

      Last season, he even tried Hazard false 9 before giving Michy a game. It isn't a guarantee.

        Looks like a matter of time before Everton break through.

        Burnley do tend to defend like this though - it looks for the whole game like they’re going to concede and then the final whistle goes and they’ve somehow come away with a cleanie!
