Crystal Palace have been on the drift to beat Burnley but look solid favourites to get three points and give them some breathing space in the lower part of the table.

The Eagles have just played four successive matches against big six teams and emerged with two draws and two defeats.

Palace's points tally could have been much higher and their strong recent performances must be a worry for Burnley, who looked relegation material when losing 2-1 at home to Newcastle on Monday.
