Burnley welcome Crystal Palace to Turf Moor in the Premier League on Monday evening as Sean Dyche’s side attempt to kickstart their season.

The Clarets are 19th in the standings on two points from seven games, but with two matches in hand over their immediate rivals.

Meanwhile, Roy Hodgson’s visitors are ninth on 13 points, just three off the European spots.

Here’s everything you need to know about Monday night’s clash.

When is it?

The match kicks off at 17:30 BST on Monday night.

How can I watch it?

The game will air live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with coverage beginning at 17:00 BST. Subscribers can also stream the fixture live on the Sky Go app and Sky Sports website.

What is the team news?

For Burnley, Robbie Brady is a doubt due to a hamstring issue, as is Dale Stephens, while Johann Berg Gudmundsson should recover from a calf injury just in time to be included in the hosts’ squad. Defender Charlie Taylor similarly should overcome an Achilles niggle to make the bench at least. Phil Bardsley returns after finishing his period of self-isolation, having tested positive for coronavirus last month.

Palace, meanwhile, are boosted by numerous returns, including those of defenders James Tomkins, James Ward and Tyrick Mitchell. In midfield, Eberechi Eze is a doubt, and Luka Milivojevic is serving a suspension – and also tested positive for coronavirus while on international duty.

Predicted line-ups

Burnley: Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters; Gudmundsson, Westwood, Stephens, McNeil; Barnes, Wood

Palace: Guaita; Clyne, Kouyate, Dann, Van Aanholt; Townsend, Riedewald, McArthur, Schlupp; Ayew, Zaha

Odds

Burnley: 7/4

Draw: 21/10

Palace: 7/4

Prediction

Palace have been in encouraging form so far this term and it’s still proving difficult to see where Burnley’s points are going to come from. The hosts will hope that the international break has given them a chance to reset, but Palace seem a safer bet here. Burnley 0-1 Palace.
