Sean Dyche Welcomes Former Club With 3 Points Needed

Sean Dyche is set to welcome his former managerial club Burnley to Goodison Park in a fixture you may classify as a relegation "6-pointer."

A huge game in both teams' hands and arguably the most important game for the Toffees yet this season.

An easier end to the season is among Everton, playing teams around them in the league table!

Burnley's manager, Premier League hero, and ex-Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany spoke to the media in his press conference in the lead-up to the fixture on Saturday. Kompany stressed that he was only focused on the game at hand, rather than Burnley's financial situation.

Burnley's Al-Dakhil, Aaron Ramsey, Jordan Beyer, and Koleosho are more than likely to miss the trip to Goodison with their own personal injuries.

On the other hand, Sean Dyche has admitted in his own press conference that Dutch winger Arnaut Danjuma is back in first-team training, but it is too early to feature. Belgian midfielder Amadou Onana will be checked quite late to see whether he will be able to feature. Finally, young English winger Lewis Dobbin, who scored his first Premier League goal in a 2-0 victory over Chelsea last year, is recovering efficiently!

The reason you could classify this game as a "6-pointer" is the narrow gap in points at the bottom of the table. Here is what the Premier League table looks like:

---

Bottom of Premier League Table (as of 6th April):

15. Brentford - 28

16. Everton - 26

17. Forest - 25
