Premier League

Crystal Palace have barely been considered as possible relegation candidates but that may change after their clash with Burnley.

Palace had hoped to progress after signing Christian Benteke and Andros Townsend but they have lost three successive league games and are just four points off the drop zone, level on points with Burnley.

The Clarets’ three victories this season have come on home soil and they look overpriced to secure a win.

Recommendation
Burnley
1pt 5-2 BoyleSports

Team news
Burnley Stephen Ward (hamstring) misses out but Steven Defour (hamstring) and George Boyd (minor injury) could return.

Crystal Palace Bakary Sako (groin) is a doubt and Connor Wickham has overcome a knock but Loic Remy and Pape Souare are long-term absentees.

Key stat
Burnley have lost two of their last 19 home fixtures
