David Moyes has named his Everton starting XI to face Burnley at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Everton come into the game on the back of yet another away victory, but remain without back-to-back wins since the start of December.
The Hill Dickinson Stadium has not been a happy hunting ground for the Toffees, with that victory against Nottingham Forest in early December Everton’s last on home soil.
Saturday’s win away to Newcastle United should provide Moyes’ men with plenty of confidence ahead of the game against a struggling Burnley side.

Beto retains his Everton starting spot
Having scored against Newcastle at the weekend, Beto has kept his spot in the starting XI to face Scott Parker’s side.
Moyes was so impressed with Beto’s performance against Newcastle, with the 28-year-old scoring only his fourth of the Premier League campaign.

Now, it is time for the striker to nail down his spot in the starting XI with another goal against the side that has conceded more goals (56) than any other in the league.
Thierno Barry has been urged to score more regularly by Moyes – as has Beto – but he will have to do so from the bench again as he did on Saturday.
Dwight McNeil backed by David Moyes after Newcastle win
In an unchanged XI from the side that beat Newcastle at the weekend, it may surprise some to see Dwight McNeil keep his spot in the side.
Speaking on the back of the game on Tyneside, Moyes admitted he was backing McNeil to bounce back following his failed deadline day transfer.
The 26-year-old played a big role in the opening two goals before being withdrawn after 82 minutes for Harrison Armstrong.
It is certainly a damning statement towards Tyrique George, who did not play in any capacity against the Toon.
Everton fans have been impressed with George, but it seems as if the 62-year-old manager is yet to be convinced.
