Burnley vs Everton to be live on Sky next Wednesday

Burnley and Everton's hopes of Premier League survival will be on the line when the two teams face off at Turf Moor live on Sky Sports next week.

Frank Lampard will take his underachieving side on the short trip on Wednesday April 6 looking for only a second away league win of the season against a Burnley team who have won just twice on home soil in 23 games stretching back to January 2021.

The game was initially scheduled to take place on Boxing Day but was postponed due to Covid-19 cases and injuries at the Merseyside club.

Everton had an initial request to postpone the game rejected despite former manager Rafael Benitez claiming he only had nine outfield players fit.

While there were no further Covid-19 cases at Everton, a number of players originally on the 'fit list' were unable to train.

The game at Turf Moor now takes on even greater significance with both sides languishing in the bottom four.

Having only played 27 matches so far, both teams have games in hands over their relegation rivals but the outcome could go a long way to deciding which of these sides will be in the bottom three come the end of the season.

Last September, Everton won the reverse fixture 3-1 at Goodison Park thanks to goals from Michael Keane, Andros Townsend and Demarai Gray after Ben Mee had given the Clarets the lead.

Elsewhere, April begins with Manchester United's home clash with Leicester on Saturday Night Football on April 2 at 5.30pm, followed by a Super Sunday double-header as West Ham host Everton (2pm) and Spurs host Newcastle (4.30pm). Monday Night Football sees Arsenal travel to Crystal Palace on April 4 at 8pm.

The following weekend, Newcastle host Wolves on Friday Night Football on April 8 at 8pm, before Tottenham go to Aston
