"Everton came into Saturday's fixture without key attackers Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Jack Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye, and there was a paucity of quality on show from both teams. Tyler Dibling provided some spark for the Toffees, creating a great chance for Beto in the first half and then seeing a late, seemingly valid, penalty appeal turned down when the officials elected not to penalise Jaidon Anthony for handball."
"Burnley had plenty of promising openings, but Scott Parker's team lacked any cutting edge and failed to get any of their 16 attempts on target. Jacob Bruun Larsen wasted the best of their chances, blazing over when he was one-on-one with Jordan Pickford, while the post denied Zian Flemming late on, albeit the striker was flagged for offside. Martin Dubravka pulled off sharp stops to deny Beto and Thierno Barry for Everton prior to Dibling's penalty shout,"
"Burnley are six points adrift of safety, and their issue is clear: They are tame in front of goal. For the third time, the Clarets had 15+ attempts in a Premier League fixture but did not get any on target. They previously did so against Liverpool in December 2014 (16) and West Brom in August 2017 (20). Everton got six attempts on target, though their expected goals (xG) value of just 0.88 tells its own story. Burnley created chances worth 1.65 xG."
Burnley and Everton played to a 0-0 draw at Turf Moor, extending Burnley's Premier League winless run to nine matches. Everton were without key attackers Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Jack Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye, and Tyler Dibling produced Everton's clearest moments, including a Beto chance and a late penalty appeal that was turned down. Burnley registered 16 attempts without a single shot on target; Jacob Bruun Larsen missed a one-on-one and Zian Flemming struck the post before being flagged offside. Martin Dubravka made several key saves. Burnley sit six points adrift with 1.65 xG, Everton had 0.88 xG.
