Burnley v Crystal Palace Match Preview

[outwoodclaret]

We need to win this match. Do I need to say anything more? Of course not. The Crystal Palace burnt down. I live in agony. Let me sleep. If we win 1-0 I may survive until tomorrow. I dream of going on the Longside. Be Happy Clarets.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

This was the BBC preview

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

Burnley's 1-0 win at Selhurst Park in June ended a run of four successive league defeats by Crystal Palace.
The Eagles have won three of their five Premier League trips to Burnley and scored twice or more in four of those games.
Burnley

Burnley are winless in their seven league games so far this term (D2, L5), losing all three at Turf Moor without scoring.
They have equalled their worst record after this stage of a league season. They also had two points in 1977-78.

The Clarets last failed to win any of their opening eight Premier League matches in 2014-15 (D4, L4).

Burnley's sole victory in their past 11 league fixtures was against relegated Norwich in July.

Sean Dyche's side have scored three goals, the fewest in the division.
If fit and selected, Johann Berg Gudmundsson will be making his 100th Premier League appearance.

Crystal Palace

Palace have won four of their eight league games, as many as in their final 19 matches of last season.

They have scored at least three goals on two occasions this term, something they failed to do at all in 2019-20.

Prior to the weekend fixtures, Crystal Palace had led for a league-high 395 minutes this season.

Roy Hodgson's men have lost six of their past eight away league fixtures without scoring.

Crystal Palace have scored eight first-half league goals in 2020-21, just two short of their entire tally last season.

They are yet to keep a clean sheet.

With five goals and two assists, Wilfried Zaha has already matched his goal involvement tally for the whole of 2019-20.

If selected, Zaha will be making his 200th Premier League appearance. He has scored on his last two trips to Turf Moor.

Two glimmers of hope there

All I can see Alto is another defeat.

How are you doing with the house renovation?

[Altobelli]

Jesus Christ Mr Dyche, Wood and Barnes have not done anything to maintain their place, Barnes is dropped and the partnership between JayRod and Wood may work, but I'd have given Vydra the chance as he's more dangerous with his movement and creativity, I do hope I'm wrong and Wood/JayRod works tonight with great effect, but for me he's dropped another boo boo
