PLAYERS TO WATCH
Burnley
All eyes will be on Robbie Blake at Turf Moor to
see if the striker can repeat his goalscoring heroics after hitting
a spectacular winner against the champions in midweek.
The 33-year-old bagged nine goals for the Clarets last season, and
with one already in the bag, will be hoping to beat that tally in
the top flight.
Everton
Louis Saha was the sole bright spot of Everton’s
defeat to Arsenal, scoring their only goal after arriving as a
substitute in the second half.
The Frenchman then went on to grab a brace in midweek in Europa
League action, and with three goals in two games looks to be in top
form heading to Turf Moor.
PREDICTION
The Clarets’ sensational win over the champions in midweek will
have given the newly-promoted side a huge confidence boost ahead of
the visit of Everton.
Despite last weekend’s humiliation to Arsenal and the ongoing
Lescott saga, the Toffees remain difficult opposition and may just
bring the home side back down to earth somewhat by bagging a
point.
Burnley 1-1 Everton
