Match Thread Burnley v Everton. Sunday Dec 26th. 3pm

[JMT]

how do the PL think that is acceptable? You 100% know a top 6 club is getting that postponed you cheating tossers.

I reckon we've been a victim of our own honesty, playing the XI we did v Chelsea.

The club should of lied and said we have even more players out with COVID.

From Sporting life:

Correct Score: Burnley 1-1 Everton (Sky Bet odds: 5/1)​

• Sunday, 15:00

Burnley have lost one of their last five league games, but they are winless in that time. The Clarets have found creating chances a real issue of late too, averaging 0.75 xGF per game in that period.

Everton are also having a tough period, picking up five points from a possible 30 over their last 10 games. Poor results are backed up by poor performances, with only Newcastle (0.78) collecting fewer xPoints per game than the Toffees (0.85).

Also, only the Magpies have a worst xG process than Everton over that 10-game stretch, as Rafael's side have generated just 1.08 xGF per game while allowing 2.16 xGA per game. It could be a bitter festive period for the Toffees if they continue in the same manner.

Not sure they have taken into account our list of unavailable players because there is no way we get a draw with the side we have now.

Money runs the game unfortunately, alongside decisions that are more favourable for the bigger clubs . Bonkers that it’s on.

Why are teams so scared to use their U23 players? They have no issues using them in cup matches. Whinge bags. Play the damn game.

Is this on TV at all?

We were much better against Chelsea without our supposed best 11. But the stakes are very high - lose these two games and we're in big trouble

revenge for richarlison's injury

 

[Kev The Rat]

So whats the likely line up for this?

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Games have been called off for much less. Including one against us this time last year....

This

 

[jazzy]

Fairly inconceivable that we won't get more positive tests and can't see this one going ahead.

 

[RomanReigns]

would be nice if everton named the players unavailable due to covid

for all we know it could be delph, tosun, gbamin, davies and rondon

 

[tsubaki]

Suppose it depends on who the five positive tests in the squad were
