Crystal Palace vs Burnley – Crystal Palace takes on Burnley tomorrow at Selhurst Park, with both clubs looking to build on eye-catching midweek victory in the Premier League.
On Wednesday evening, the Eagles defeated Watford 4-1, while Sean Dyche’s side beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 to take another step towards survival.
Crystal Palace is one of only a few teams in the competition without a win in their last five games. They are conceding a lot of goals, and the rate is particularly worrying when it comes to home games.
Burnley, on the other hand, has been one of the poorest teams in the English Premier League from the beginning of the season. They are now ranked 19th in a 20-team table, with only two wins throughout the season.
They’ve also been worried on the road throughout 2021-22, letting in a lot of goals in the process. To top it off, in previous head-to-head matches, both teams have conceded a large number of goals. This weekend’s matchup at Selhurst Park appears to be a high-scoring affair.
Crystal Palace vs Burnley – Team News:
In the Watford triumph, Crystal Palace picked up no new injury concerns, although Nathan Ferguson, Vicente Guaita, and Joel Ward remain doubts ahead of tomorrow’s match.
Guaita’s knee injury kept him out of Wednesday’s game entirely, therefore Nathaniel Clyne should take over at right-back in place of Ward, who is still recovering from a knock.
Burnley’s James Tarkowski was fit enough to return to the backline against Tottenham, but Ashley Westwood, another COVID-19 victim, did not play. Dyche is also concerned about Maxwel Cornet’s fitness after the Ivory Coast midfielder missed Wednesday’s win due to an Achilles problem, while Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Matej Vydra remain sidelined.
Crystal Palace possible starting lineup:
Butland; Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell; McArthur, Kouyate, Gallagher; Olise, Mateta, Zaha
Burnley possible starting lineup:
Pope; Roberts, Mee, Tarkowski, Pieters; Lennon, Cork, Brownhill, McNeil; Weghorst, Cornet
