Crystal Palace v Burnley: match preview

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

Burnley’s quest for an elusive first away win of the season will continue without Joey Barton at Selhurst Park and with recent poor form – one victory in 11 games – anchoring their mood. Yet one more win should ease the lingering nerves at both clubs, and the visitors will hope to exploit Crystal Palace’s crippling injury list at centre-back. Much may depend on how Palace recover from their midweek exertions against Tottenham Hotspur. Dominic Fifield
