Sean Dyche’s Burnley and Sam Allardyce’s Everton will face each other in the Premier League today.

Joey Barton has been quoted as saying by The Burnley Express that Burnley will win against Everton at home in the Premier League this weekend.

The former Newcastle United and Manchester City midfielder is an Everton fan and had two separate spells at Burnley.

The Clarets will take on the Toffees at Turf Moor in the league this afternoon.

Barton is quoted as saying by The Burnley Express: “I think Burnley will win the game. I think they’ve been unlucky and they were very unfortunate against Southampton.

“They’ve been on a tricky run recently but at some point that will have to turn.”

Burnley favourites?

Given Everton’s recent results and performances, it is hard to see Sam Allardyce’s side pick up all three points against Burnley at Turf Moor.

Everton will head into the match against Sean Dyche’s team on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Watford away from home at Vicarage Road in the league.

The Toffees are not entirely out of danger yet in regard to getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season, while Burnley are likely to finish seventh.

The Clarets will head into this afternoon’s match as favourites and should be able to pick up all three points from the encounter.
