Ones to watch
Burnley: Ashley Barnes
He’s not the prettiest of footballers, but you can’t deny just how effective Ashley Barnes is for Sean Dyche.
The 29-year-old has started this season in fine form, scoring four Premier League goals and, once again, proving to be the perfect spearhead for Burnley’s 4-4-2 system.
If he’s firing on Saturday, Michael Keane and Yerry Mina could be in for a tough afternoon.
Key stat: Barnes has had more shots on target in the Premier League (9) than any other Burnley player this season.
Everton: Alex Iwobi
It’s been a tough start to the season for Everton but Alex Iwobi has offered fans a glimmer of hope.
The Nigeria international has been excellent between the lines for Silva, picking up space all over the pitch and looking like a genuinely lively, creative proposition for the Toffees.
Iwobi replaced Walcott on Saturday but had to be substituted himself later on, clearly not going into the game at 100 per cent. But if he is fit and ready this weekend, Everton stand a much better chance of finding a result.
Key stat: Each of Iwobi’s two Everton goals so far have been headers.

Everton
Summer signing Jean-Philippe Gbamin is still out with damaged quadriceps and no return date has been revealed thus far.
Fellow midfielder Andre Gomes is a doubt, as is Theo Walcott, who was forced off after just one minute of Everton’s defeat to Man City having suffered a blow to the head.
Predicted XI: Pickford; Coleman, Keane, Mina, Digne; Schneiderlin, Delph; Richarlison, Sigurdsson, Iwobi; Calvert-Lewin.
Squawka prediction
Everton put up a good fight against Manchester City and, in the end, 3-1 was a very harsh scoreline for them.
However, the Toffees often thrive against expansive teams who allow them space but are known to struggle when trying to break down low blocks.
Burnley are the renowned kings of that particular system and unless Silva tries something different to give his side more options in the final third, he could find himself under even more pressure by the end of the week.
Scoreline prediction: Burnley 2-0 Everton
