Nick Pope is hoping to continue the upward trajectory that began following Everton’s last visit to Turf Moor.
The Toffees’ 5-1 win at Burnley on Boxing Day saw the Clarets staring at a serious relegation fight.
Sean Dyche’s men found themselves in the Premier League’s bottom three with just 12 points at the half-way stage of the 2018/19 season.
But bouncing back with an eight-match unbeaten run transformed the Clarets’ fortunes as they propelled themselves to safety and a 15th-place finish.
And Pope admits the loss to Everton was a key moment in a revival that has continued into the current campaign – with nine points from the opening seven games representing a solid start to the new season’s work.
