Frequent competitors over the years, Burnley and Everton have locked horns on 124 occasions across all competitions, with the Toffees claiming 55 victories and the Clarets 38, while the clubs have shared the spoils 31 times.

Their first meeting came on November 17, 1888, when a 2-2 draw unfolded at Turf Moor in the old Division One. Everton would go on to win the next four meetings before Burnley responded with six wins and a draw from seven matches between March 1891 and October 1893.

In keeping with the earlier instalments of this fixture, clashes in the late 1890s brought plenty of goals, including Everton's 6-0 demolition in 1896, alongside frequent draws and FA Cup ties.

Burnley went on another unbeaten run in this fixture at the start of the 1900s, going 10 matches unbeaten until 1922, after which they managed just three victories from 20 clashes.

After a 16-year wait, the rivalry kicked off post-war in the 1947-48 First Division season, where Burnley claimed a 3-0 home win on November 15 before Everton edged the 1-0 return encounter at Goodison Park on April 3.

Burnley dominated home encounters in the era that ensued, most notably thrashing Everton 5-1 at Turf Moor on December 3, 1949.

The Clarets' 1960 title push brought back-to-back 3-0 wins over Everton at Christmas and Boxing Day, but the Toffees fought back in later matches, and top-flight clashes got rarer in the 1970s as Burnley slipped down the ladder of English football.

However, their 2009 return to the Premier League kicked off with a memorable 1-0 triumph at Turf Moor, but Everton quickly responded with a 2-0 win in the reverse fixture.

The Toffees' standout result came in a 5-1 Boxing Day demolition at Goodison Park in 2018, while the 2023-24 season saw Everton complete a clean sweep as they ran out 3-0 winners in the EFL Cup, before completing a league double over their Lancashire counterparts.

Everton have won four of the last six Premier League meetings, though David Moyes's Blues were held to a 0-0 draw at Turf Moor in December 2025, with Scott Parker's Burnley securing a rare point to bolster their relegation battle.
