BURNLEY will be aiming to make it three wins in a row when they head to the capital to face Crystal Palace.

Sean Dyche’s men enter the game in high spirits following Wednesday night’s 1-0 victory against Tottenham after Ben Mee’s second-half header.

Team news

Maxwel Cornet is a doubt for the Clarets after missing Wednesday night’s win against Tottenham due to a foot issue.

Ashley Westwood is available after recovering from Covid, while Charlie Taylor is also back in contention.

However, Matej Vydra and Johann Berg Gudmundsson remain sidelined as they continue their respective recoveries.

Opposition lowdown

Palace are currently 11th in the Premier League table – nine points above the Clarets, who have played three games three games fewer.

Patrick Vieira’s men recorded a convincing 4-1 win at Watford on Wednesday night thanks to goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta, Conor Gallagher and a Wilfried Zaha brace.

Burnley have faced the Eagles 52 times in their history, with a record of 21 wins, 18 draws and 13 defeats.

The Clarets recorded an emphatic 3-0 victory when the sides met at Selhurst Park last season thanks to goals from Johann Berg Gudmundsson, Jay Rodriguez and Matt Lowton.

Last meeting

The points were shared when the sides met earlier this season following a thrilling 3-3 draw at Turf Moor.

The Clarets twice went in front through Ben Mee and Chris Wood headers, but the visitors hit back both times through Christian Benteke.

The Eagles then took the lead on the stroke of half-time through Marc Guehi’s deflected effort but Maxwel Cornet got Burnley back on level terms after the break with a stunning volley.
