Everton had five shots in the opening 10 minutes. The last time they did so in the Premier League was also against Burnley, in October 2016.

Everton 0-0 Burnley

A rare Burnley counter sees a ball over the top promise to free Chris Wood in on goal. Jordan Pickford is out of his goal fast to clear away and the two collide painfully - they're both up and at it again though double quick.

Everton utterly dominant - a remarkable 85% of possession so far but no shot on target for Tom Heaton and co to worry about. As I type that Richarlison turns and curls over from 20 yards.

Tom Heaton puffs out his cheeks as he clears a goal kick downfield. That ends a long, long spell of Everton pressure.

Opta are telling me that Burnley have made five passes so far. (FIVE).

Ashley Westwood hasn't touched the ball - neither has Jordan Pickford.

This is a flying start! Great ball in from Lucas Digne and Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are both steaming in at the back post but it's very well headed clear by (I think) Ben Mee.

Gylfi Sigurdsson is picked out by a deep, chipped corner but for once the man from Reykjavik can't find a clean strike and the chance is gone. Burnley have hardly had a kick so far. Penned in.

Lucas Digne now forces an early corner. Everton out of the traps like a flash.

Away we go! Seamus Coleman has a sight of goal inside 30 seconds but he's closed down...

Everton beat Burnley 5-1 on Boxing Day but since that day only Liverpool and the two Manchester clubs have picked up more points.

Here come the sides - Burnley in an all-black away kit. I love a black away kit. Like a team full of refs.

Mike Dean as a 10?

Rob M: RE: Stuart @19.32 - Can't see Wolves getting less than three points against Fulham and that guarantees them seventh spot. Long shot for Everton? You're not kidding

Ben Mee starts for Burnley tonight. Mee has completed all 36 Premier League fixtures this campaign. Only Tyrone Mears (2009-10), Tom Heaton (2014-15) and Jack Cork (2017-18) have completed all 38 PL matches of the Clarets in a single season.

The Goodison surface gets a last soaking from the pre-match sprinklers. Almost time to get the show on the road!

After a shaky start Everton have been in fine form if late and their squad looks like it could be a force to be reckoned with. What do they still need? A striker?

Everton’s Richarlison has scored 13 Premier League goals this season. Only two Brazilian players have ever scored more in a single campaign; Roberto Firmino in 2017-18 (15) and Robinho in 2008-09 (14).

Smart move Ross - as you'll know, Burnley’s Ashley Barnes has scored six goals in his last nine Premier League away games, having failed to find the net in his first eight on the road this season.

That's like a poor man's version of 'We're on the ball' by Ant and Dec.
