What They're Saying
Burnley manager Sean Dyche (via Soccerway): "It's a different challenge. It's unfamiliar territory to most of the players and myself, but there is a growth in performances. We built this mentality of being relentless, going hard every game, and although that can't guarantee an outcome, it gives you a better chance of winning games. It's easy to talk about the mentality when you are winning games, but it's a different challenge when you are not."
Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "It's a huge challenge. I saw them [Burnley] play lots last season and they are a really strong unit. The start that they had has already given them very good experience and I know it's going to be tough to face them on Sunday."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Everton's Ross Barkley has slowly returned from injury. The 20-year-old had one assist in his season debut, finishing the match with three key passes and a take-on.
