Everton v Burnley: match preview

Everton will hope that the return of Romelu Lukaku will give them impetus to equal their season’s best run, five games unbeaten, as a disappointing campaign draws to a close. Burnley, glad to see the back of eight matches against the league’s top eight, will be fighting hard to pick up three points in their fight to stay up at Goodison, which is not the fortress that it was last season. This is the 100th top-flight meeting between the two sides. Graham Searles
