 Hello, welcome to toppyTV, this is a match preview, vainly versus Everton. Which, yeah, now looks like a, well, I mean, feels like a potential banana skin after you've won three games in a row, doesn't it? It suddenly feels, God, better win that one. There's a better pressure on it. Yeah, better win that one because we've won the last three, but yeah, it does, I forget about being a potential banana skin, but obviously it's a very important game, you know, where we are in the league, forget about how many points we should have, it's all about the amount of points we do have and for us, we have to beat the teams around us, I think that's the most important thing at the moment. Yeah, it'll be a tough game, I've reckled, not very good at safe mo, and obviously winning those three games has put us in a good position. We want to now try to strengthen our position by beating vainly, and vainly's second to bottom. We've got a chance to put eight points between us if we could win, keep the run going, and that's how we have to approach it. Yeah, we should be tenth and we should be looking upwards, but this is still be a tough game, so there's not nothing we'll have changed in that aspect, but you're right, these are obviously right by us and you've got to beat the teams that are around it. Yeah, absolutely, and just be nicer than this to go into, I mean obviously we're in the busy period now, but obviously another tough away game coming up, and then a home game against Manchester City, and then a tough away game at Wolves. It would be nice to have that little buffer on those teams, I mean I think we've shown so far that we are better and more prepared for life in the Premier League than they are, and obviously shown by just created a very hard work and team that defensively look good, obviously with the clean sheets, and obviously putting the ball in the back of the net, which is something we weren't doing any part in the season, but it's the away record isn't it, the away form for us has been obviously massive this season, there's been a key difference for where we are, obviously the home record hasn't been great recently, so in the last few years we just haven't won away games and we've relied on the home form which hasn't been there either, but this season so far with the way we're playing, certainly since you're on the ice coming in to be fair, it has really clicked into place hasn't it? Well that's been a big consistent thing since he came in, he's been good away, you know he's got a lot of points on the road, he's instilled a resilience in everything which wasn't there or hasn't been there either for the good few years on our travels, and that's been, that had been until recently the most impressive thing, the home form has been worried, they've corrected that lately, started winning some home games, which has meant they're obviously in a better position, but it has been built on the back of stronger way performance, you know we went to Nottingham Forest a couple of weeks ago and that was a tough game, and we went there and won it, before that we went to Crystal Palace which was a tough game, we went there and won it, before that we went to Westamlam on that one, so opportunity for four away wins on the run, which would be a number of years since they've done that, so these have got little opportunities, little things you can take off, and this will be a tough game, like you said you know I think, just read the eight Premier League games, I'll tell you more between the two teams, I've won five, haven't I've only won two, but the two they've won, they've won three, one and five, and they're four going into this one, three mentalities, the last few weeks they can come out of this one on top as well. Yeah nothing changes, does it for us, the way we're going about the things and three wins looks impressive, but to the manager it's just business as normal isn't it, because that's what you get with them, and obviously the Burnley fans don't know that, the higher you're never high and the lower you're never low, he does keep that level of consistency and he's keeping that in the camp as well, and I think fans, us as fans obviously, when you're winning games that really helps to balance us out as well, as you mentioned if we did not have the ten point deduction then we'd be looking at all different sets of fixes where we want wins and where we can go on the table, for us it's still that little thing, you're still looking over your shoulder, and when you play these teams, these are the games that if you can win them and you'll certainly stop them from winning, it does start building that buffer, and of course you can still look up as well, we'll go into this game and we'll already know forest results, and they play Friday against Spares and Crystal Palace, we're playing Manchester City, so who knows there could be an opportunity to jump above both of those teams, when we kick off for that, we'd be outstanding as well, again to have more teams below us, that would be what, five teams below us, and we've had the ten point deduction, that's a huge motivation, we don't want to get ahead of ourselves of course when we concentrate on barely, it's not going to be easy, we know that, we've got suspensions and we've got injuries, let's just have a look at Evidence team from last week, we already know, Ashley Young's not available, we know Seamus Coleman's not available, we know Gage's not available, we know Jared Branthwaite's not available, Michael Keane is back in training, so the manager's got an option there, and obviously it'll be Paterson at right back, and obviously on Anna came in a hard time last week, but that's more changes isn't it, that he would have liked to have made, because we've seen so far it's been one or two and not loads coming off the bench, but that's again another fact that isn't the bench being suddenly weakened, Andre Gomes is set to play for the under 21s on Friday, Knight Delies not going to be ready till the new year, he's getting involved but the manager we know likes to play under 21s, get 60 minutes then get 90 minutes before they're even considered, it is going to be a tough one to get through, and obviously we know we've got a game on Tuesday as well, but obviously this one takes pressing, but it's going to be a tough one to get through isn't it? Yeah, because there's just not going to be that many options is it, Paterson will start at right back, like you said, Michael Keane will be there on Anna, he'll be in, he plays, you have played, and that's fine, but the bench then is whittled right down, so you're going to have Ben Goffrey on the bench, you can play a couple of positions, and there's not much after that, Dan Di Ume, Lluwe Storben, it's all forward plays, we've got enough options forward by Storben, Beto, Dan Di Ume, Ben Goffrey's the utility everywhere isn't he, you can do everything but we know the standard two keepers will be on the bench, and then I wonder if Mackenzie Hunt will be on the bench, you can't play left back and can't play in the field to be fair, and they'll also, Aya Matini, like Campbell will probably get a go a lo, we'll see how he comes through to anyone to be plays in that. And that'll be that, and it'll just be the manager, will literally just be bankin' on, eleven, twelve players probably on track today, which will be Dom Offen and Beto on, will probably be the only, as long as everyone's okay, would probably work out that being the only change, maybe Dom and Layton. And that'll be in, it'll be in case you can get through it, it'll be a tough game Burnley, I've got, I think they've picked up four points in the last three games, which was as many as they picked up in the first, eleven or twelve or something like that, so they're improving slightly. Let's have a little look at the tale of both teams. This Saturday Burnley take on Everton and Turfmore in the Premier League. Burnley and Everton have met 16 times in the Premier League with eight wins going to the Toffees, seven to Burnley and one draw, which took place in December 2020 and finished 1-1. This season, Everton have won seven games, drawn two and lost seven, but sit 17th in the league after a 10-point seduction. Burnley sit 19th with two wins, two draws and 12 defeats. Burnley are averaging one goal scored per match, although the biggest win this season was a five-nil win against Sheffield United at Turfmore. Burnley have only kept one clean sheet this season, but the Toffees have kept a total of five. Burnley's top scorer this season is Josh Brownhill with three goals, while Everton's is Abdelhaid-a-Corey, who is on six. The last time the two teams met was in a relegation fight in April 2022, which Burnley ran out victorious 3-2. At the end of the season Burnley were relegated, but Everton stayed up. So there you go, it's not great, but last time we won there, we won a five-one, so let's try and do that again. Let's have a look at Burnley's team last time out. Obviously a draw down to Brighton and the Beats Sheffield United at the last home game, five-nil. They've been unlucky having these because they're playing well, they're keeping the ball, they're playing in the way they manage your ones, but they just haven't been putting the ball in the back of the net. You'd think that if they can change some of those performances into getting the goal, getting the first goal, then they might have a better chance of staying in the Premier League. He's taken good with it slightly as we come a little bit more direct. I think Jay Rodriguez has come in and done well. That's what they did against Sheffield United. I think he scored after about 45-50 seconds and I give them a platform to build on. They do give up a lot of chances and it's where they can take them. We obviously beat them in the cup at Godderson, and I know they had a much changed team that night, but they played the same way and it was very, very easy that night for Everton because they just played into our hands. They obviously scored three because they've had more. It'll be a much more difficult test this time. We just got to do what we do. We've seen Abelai Decori there on the tail of the tape, so to speak, in six goals. He's done a brilliant job off the striker. 100 more pressures than any other player in the Premier League, so far this season in the final third. He's had those goals. He's got 11 in 30, one under Sean Dighton. He's basically been Dighton's talisman since he came in, him and obviously former Benley Winger Dwight McNeill. Of course he's on four yellow cards as well, Abelai Decori. He's got to get through to top them, isn't he? I'm sure it's sparse. I think it's sparse. But listen, whatever. If it happens, it happens. Brant Dwight was the title for four games and he eventually succumbed. You've got to deal with it. That's the way it is. Let's have a look at Benley's best performer play of the season, Josh Brownhill. You can see his heat map all over the place. 15 games, three goals. Next year, 0.79. Shot for Game 1 and an XA of... 1.11. Overperforming on his XG. Massively, but that doesn't matter. He's a good player. Actually he's a physical player. Works hard in that with Phil Sean Dighton. No, it's going to be a tough game and it's for everything. It's about just keeping that consistency. It's keeping those levels that he's shown in those away games. You mentioned the three before games, which playing teams that are in and around us depending on whether we had ten points or whether we didn't have the ten points. We got wins in those games and by being resolute, dogged, getting the first goal. Obviously, Pallas was five in the game and just keep fighting and no matter what happened. Pallas, we went away. It looked like Pallas were going to go on and get the winner, but it was us who went on because we've got a little bit about it. We've definitely got something about us this season, so it's about keeping that going and keeping the consistency. Whatever happens, happens, but hopefully we get the three points and hopefully then we can all start believing a little bit more about where the season is going to go. I think if you look at it, Everton have got 23 points and now the league table is in sight, but we've got 15 points more than Burnley already. That's the reality of it and that's what we have to remember. The same as what we said last week against Chelsea, we were above Chelsea in the league. Point wise, without the deduction, we were above them with one more game and we have to take that same mentality that this will be a tough game. It will be a test, but like I said before, they give you opportunities Burnley. Can we take it? We need Dominic Alvalun to start scoring again. You know, playing well, we need them to get amongst the goals. If we get in front, I think we can, you know, put us on the good foot, but I think you said before, the biggest takeaway from all of this will be not losing the game. I want to win. It's a game we can win. It's a game we should win on form. It will be a difficult game and you can't take anything for granted. The changes will make it even more difficult and the crowd will help them. But we've got to... We have got another couple of difficult games coming up after it. Well, they're all... To be fair, mate, they're all difficult, aren't they? When you're a team like us, we're fighting week by week. So we've just got to go, roll our sleeves up, like we have done very well under Sean Dyche, battle for it and take the opportunities. Because we will get them and we've got to take them when they come along. Because you can't rely on them not taking this, because one thing they have done around, and I've seen them a bit this season, they're not great scoring goals, but they create a lot of chances. And if they have those days, like against Chef United, when it comes off, you create an example, because they do play some nice football as well. I mean, they have a lot of possession, but that might be good for us, because we're a team that doesn't like having a lot of possession. They'll win the possession, I think that's a fact. If they have the possession, we can have the points. I think that's fair. I think good luck to them after this round. Oh, until you come to good. Of course, of course. There you go. Let us know your thoughts in the comments on this one. What do you think? I think it's, you know, I haven't been going to go there and do the business straight off, or a little bit worried, just because we have one three in a row and it feels like, oh, where's the slip-up going to come? Because that's how you always feel. You can't think like that. People do that. Well, don't. Think the other way. Just think, yeah, we'll be positive we're going to win this.
