History of the Burnley v Everton fixture

Everton travel to take on Burnley at Turf Moor on Sunday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 52 games played, Toffees have recorded 15 wins, and Burnley have come away with 22 victories.

The last time the two teams met at Burnley was way back in the black-and-white days of August 1975, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a First Division match.
