Everton v Burnley: Team news, predicted teams and TV details for Carabao Cup last 16 clash

Vincent Kompany’s men will be looking to bounce back from what was another disappointing defeat in the league on Saturday, going down 2-1 to relegation rivals Bournemouth.

But they head to Goodison Park looking to build on their previous cup wins against Nottingham Forest and Salford City, with a place in the quarter-finals of the competition on the line.

The Clarets will be reunited with their old boss Sean Dyche for the first time since his sacking in April 2022.

Despite a troubled period off the pitch, Dyche’s Toffees have picked up on it in recent weeks, moving up to 15th in the table and five points clear of safety.

Vincent Kompany’s pre-match comments

“For us it’s an opportunity for sure in terms of getting the boots back on and getting back on the grass, that’s the best way to talk.
