The 5-1 home defeat to Everton at Christmas last year was a pivotal result in Burnley’s season. Joe Hart was dropped and a 4-4-2 formation brought back, which brought an almost immediate improvement on the pitch and in the league table as the Clarets climbed out of trouble. Burnley have been much more like their normal feisty selves this season and must be hopeful of taking something here. Marco Silva’s side showed signs of improvement against Manchester City last week, but at no time in the present campaign have they looked capable of scoring five goals. Silva has André Gomes and Theo Walcott available again after injury. Paul Wilson
