    Burnley may be two-goals down but a goal back and that would set things up for an interesting final 20 minutes.

    Ameen Al Dakhil is on for the hosts, replacing Hannes Delcroix.

    A good break by Burnley as the ball is worked out wide to Jacob Bruun Larsen but his ball into the box is not the best and the Everton defence cleans up.

    Zeki Amdouni takes the game by the scruff of the neck and has go at goal from distance with a powerful dipping effort that Jordan Pickford acrobatically tips behind.

    What a goalmouth scramble that was. They have clearly identified a weakness with James Trafford. They are hanging it into the six-yard box and really causing him issues here.

    Every set piece, Burnley are just being bullied.

    They are just not strong enough and cannot deal with the physicality that Everton are producing.

    A set piece causes chaos inside the Burnley box again as an in-swinging corner is prodded onto the post twice before finally being cleared.

    The Clarets have just not been able to deal with those all game.

    Burnley have dominated possession in this half without really creating anything of note.

    Jordan Pickford has hardly been made to work at all.

    That's been the difference in the sides. I don't remember a real clear-cut opportunity from open play. But the quality of the delivery has been the difference, the organisation in the box. Everton have been so much better than Burnley.

    Some very tough fixtures ahead.

    Jacob Bruun Larsen takes the free-kick but the ball strikes James Tarkowski's head in the wall and deflects behind for a corner, which comes to nothing.

    Burnley had made a bright start to this half but are struggling to build on that now.

    There's boos as Dominic Calvert-Lewin escapes a booking for a heavy clash into Dara O'Shea.

    This will frustrate Vincent Kompany. Burnley didn't start the game well and he will be wondering why it takes him to go into the dressing room at half-time for them to start playing better.

    They look like a different team.

    Jack Harrison is fouled by Vitinho and Everton have a free-kick on the left side of the box.

    James Garner goes for goal from the set piece, forcing James Trafford to push behind.

    Fulham manager Marco Silva speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "It is a disappointing afternoon probably the quiet game Newcastle needed after a midweek Champions League game. It wasn't our fault.

    "All the moments, the referee didn't give one foul for Fulham Football Club. All the challenges for Newcastle every time they fall it was a free-kick or whatever. I understand - congratulations for Newcastle - these type of grounds, these type of games and situations, you need to have referees who have the ability to handle the pressure. They go always with the home crowd and the pressure.

    "This is the Premier League. Premier League should have referees who have the ability to handle the pressure and this afternoon is an example of a referee who does not have the ability and experience to handle the pressure with 50,000 people around. That is clear for me. Every ball, any doubt for us, he didn't give one. Even the elbow in the first half on Raul [Jimenez]. For me, yellow card is a good decision and come again the VAR.

    "Now VAR is always looking for moments to give, I don't know if they are trying to justify their job. I don't know what they are trying to do but people with knowledge about the game can see in that moment - he lost the moment to get the ball - clear Raul - and should do it in a different way.

    "Overall the performance from the referee, with yellow cards, it was strange really the afternoon from the referee."

    Vincent Kompany applauds from the touchline but Jacob Bruun Larsen has to do better from there.

    Instead the cross goes straight at Jordan Pickford.

    Zeki Amdouni should do better from the corner as he gets free of any Everton players but opts to help the ball across the box rather than shoot. It is the wrong decision.

    Positive start to the second half by Burnley as Jacob Bruun Larsen fires the ball across the face of goal, forcing Nathan Patterson to play it safe and put the ball behind.

  19. KICK-OFFpublished at 46 mins

    Burnley 0-2 Everton

    Changes for both sides for the start of the second half.

    Lyle Foster is back and gets a good reception from the home fans as he plays his first game since October. He has replaced Jay Rodriguez.

    For Everton, Lewis Dobbin is on for Abdoulaye Doucouré, who has a slight injury.

    We are back under way.
