The Clarets reach the half-way stage of the Premier League season with the Boxing Day visit of Everton.
And they know they will have to more than double their current points’ tally of 12 to stay in the Premier League.
It’s without doubt a vital stage of the campaign and after a tough December so far, Sean Dyche’s men will be looking to make the most of a run of three home games from their next four fixtures – wrapped around an FA Cup visit from Barnsley.
After Everton, West Ham come to Turf Moor on Sunday before the Clarets face the current bottom two of Huddersfield Town (away) and then Fulham.
