Everton take on Burnley at Goodison Park on Monday Night Football, looking to extend their unbeaten start to the 2021/22 campaign. Read captain Seamus Coleman's programme notes for the fixture below.

We have been pleased with the way our season has started. I think we’d have all taken seven points from our first three fixtures, especially as two of them were away from home.

Leeds United has never been an easy place to go to for a result and Brighton had started really well so we can look back with immense satisfaction on those two results.

I am sure you’ve enjoyed watching the new boys, all of whom have settled in really well at the Club.

I knew they would.

I’ve played against Demarai and Andros many times not to have appreciated what they will bring to the team, and they have shown already they will be making a massive contribution this season.

I’d like to formally welcome Salomón Rondón to the Club as well.

Again, I’ve played against Salomón on numerous occasions and all I can say is that I am glad he’ll be with me rather than against me!

He knows the Premier League well and he’ll bring plenty of experience and physicality to the team and we are all looking forward to having him around.

As for tonight, well there’s nowhere quite like Goodison Park under floodlights… and it’s been a long time since we’ve had a full house for a night fixture.

At the time of writing, I am unsure as to whether or not I will be involved. You will have seen that I picked up a knock while on international duty with Ireland and I am being assessed as I compile these notes.

I will be gutted if I have to miss out because I know what the atmosphere will be like, but if that’s the case, I will just knuckle down and work hard to be ready again.

I was unbelievably proud to pass 300 Premier League games for Everton recently and I want to add as many more to that tally as I can. To be in the Club’s top five for Premier League appearances is a bit surreal for me and I thank everyone who has helped me along the way.

The early Premier League table doesn’t make pleasant reading for Burnley fans but I don’t take any notice of the placings for at least another month or so.

Burnley have played Liverpool and Leeds in their opening three games and that’s a challenge for any team.

We won’t be fooled by league positions, we know just how tough a game this will be this evening. The matches between us in recent years have tended be tight and tonight will be no different.

But with you behind us, we can achieve anything. Having our fans backing us so passionately really is making a difference - and I’m sure you know that already.

Be the 12th man again on Monday night.

All the best,

Seamus
