Burnley have also made a decent start to the season themselves.

But this game will be played under the backdrop of Everton becoming the latest team to show interest in their manager Sean Dyche.

This game sees Dyche celebrate five years in charge of the Clarets.

The former Watford boss is now the seventh longest-serving manager in the top four divisions of English football.
