  • Crystal Palace lost for the first time in four league matches on Sunday

  • Recommended bet: Draw

Crystal Palace head to Burnley on Wednesday evening hoping to bounce back from a weekend home defeat by Manchester United.

The games continue to come thick and fast for the Eagles as they compete at home and in the Europa Conference League as they prepare to face a Clarets side who have won just once at Turf Moor since the start of September.

Team news 

Hannibal Mejbri and Lyle Foster came into the Burnley side for the trip to Brentford though it remains to be seen if the duo will keep their places after Saturday's defeat.

Conor Roberts, Zeki Amdouni and Jordan Beyer are yet to feature for Burnley this season and remain sidelined with injuries.

Crystal Palace forward Ismaila Sarr was forced off with an ankle injury in the defeat by Manchester United and was seen leaving Selhurst Park on crutches, so is a major doubt for the trip to Turf Moor.

Eagles left-back Borna Sosa is not likely to be fit, while Cheick Doucoure, Chadi Riad and Caleb Kporha are all out for the visitors.

The stats

Burnley have won three of their last seven home meetings with Crystal Palace in the Premier League, dating back to a 3-2 victory in November 2016.

Crystal Palace have lost only once in their last 17 Premier League matches against promoted teams, winning 10 and drawing six.

Burnley have conceded four penalties this season, the most of any Premier League team.

Crystal Palace have kept four clean sheets in their last seven games across all competitions.

The Eagles have avoided defeat in eight of their last nine night games in the Premier League, winning five and drawing three.

Prediction

Burnley need to start picking up results before the cluster of teams immediately above them and hovering above the drop zone start to pull away.

The Clarets have managed to earn just seven points from a possible 33 and have so far failed to make Turf Moor anything like a fortress.

However, on Wednesday, Scott Parker’s men have a chance to take advantage of Crystal Palace’s hectic schedule to take a point.

This will be the Eagles' fourth game in 11 days, before playing another seven matches during a busy festive period during December.

Oliver Glasner's men fell to a home defeat at the hands of Manchester United just 60 hours after travelling to France and losing to Strasbourg in the Conference League and so Burnley could benefit from any lethargy affecting the Palace camp.

While Burnley may not boast the quality or confidence to beat the Eagles right now, digging in for a point would be a plus during this tough run.
