Crystal Palace
Eberechi Eze could be involved after recovering from a long-term Achilles injury, while Joachim Andersen is expected to feature despite dropping out of the Denmark squad last week.

Match preview

Burnley got off the mark with a 3-1 win over Brentford in their last home game and only champions Manchester City have beaten the Clarets in their last six games.

However, Sean Dyche's team are still in the bottom three and Crystal Palace should be confident about their visit to Turf Moor on Saturday, particuarly as the win over the Bees was the Lancashire outfit's first win in 15 home league outings.

Palace were excellent in winning 2-0 at City after they had been unjustly pegged back by an injury-time Arsenal equaliser when Patrick Vieira's team seemed destined to win at the Emirates.

Liverpool are the only team to have clipped the Eagles' wings since they lost at Chelsea on the opening weekend and they look the more likely winners of this one.

However, Palace have posted a league-high number of six draws while Burnley have finished level in five of their 11 matches, so it may be sensible to take the draw-no-bet option.

Key stat

Burnley have kept just two clean sheets in their last 17 Premier League home games.
