Burnley are taking on Crystal Palace this evening in a Premier League meeting at Turf Moor. The big news this evening is that Wilfried Zaha is self-isolating after testing positive for coronavirus this week and misses out on the game, with Michy Batshuayi and Jordan Ayew paired in attack for Roy Hodgson’s Eagles. Jay Rodriguez starts for Burnley alongside Chris Wood in attack, with Ashley Barnes beginning the game on the bench. 

The Clarets are still searching for their first win of the campaign, having picked up only two points from their opening seven games, but can climb out of the bottom three if they can earn victory here tonight. Palace are going well in the top half and could climb into the top six should they pick a resounding win, by leapfrogging Everton on goal difference.
