A year on from last year’s Boxing Day meeting, both clubs are in a different place.
Everton’s 5-1 win at Turf Moor 12 months ago was a nadir for the Clarets, who stayed stuck in the bottom three with just 12 points from the first half of the season.
The Toffees – then under Marco Silva – moved up to eighth place, while Burnley’s top-flight status looked at risk.
Since then, it has been something of a reversal of fortunes with the Clarets carrying last season’s revival into the current campaign to reach Christmas 10th in the table, while Everton find themselves just four points above the bottom three with a new manager in place.
