Don Hutchison predicts winner in Everton v Burnley
Don Hutchison has predicted his former side Everton to pick up the three points against Burnley on Wednesday night in the Premier League.
Despite losing every single away game since Frank Lampard took over, Hutchison is confident, given Burnley’s woeful run of form.
The Clarets have won just three games all season and a loss in this one would all but seal their relegation with the gap mounting from 17th place.
Speaking on the Premier League Weekend Review, he said, “I might be clutching, but Burnley can’t win a game. They’ve won three all season. I’m confident Everton can win.”

Everton cannot afford to treat this game as a run of the mill league contest.
There is a lot riding on this relegation six pointer and the team that loses may think of preparing for life without Premier League football next season.
The Toffees have a points advantage over Burnley going into this one, so a draw won’t really hurt them.
However, a loss will bring the difference down to just one point and given their fixtures ahead, it’s hard to see where they’re going to pick up wins in the business end of the campaign.
Frank Lampard needs to come up with something new or he is risking being the manager that gets relegated with a historic giant.
