Burnley v Crystal Palace: match preview

Burnley v Crystal Palace
Burnley v Crystal Palace: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Palace do little by halves but would not be too dissatisfied with a point at Turf Moor, arresting a recent slump that, allied with an upturn for Burnley, has brought the sides level on points. Sean Dyche’s defence rode out a storm at Old Trafford last week and have shown they will be intensely competitive. Their injury concerns are easing too and Dyche must decide whether to restore the fit-again Steven Defour to the midfield after a win and a draw in his absence. Nick Ames
