Burnley will be desperate to avoid a fifth straight Premier League defeat when they host Crystal Palace at Turf Moor on Wednesday night. The Clarets suffered a late collapse in their 3-1 loss to Brentford last weekend, while Palace saw their strong home form halted by a 2-1 defeat to Manchester United.
After ending October with back-to-back wins over Leeds and Wolves, Burnley endured a tough November, losing all four league matches. Saturday's game at Brentford looked set for a draw until a dramatic final 11 minutes saw the hosts score three times, dropping Burnley to 19th in the table -- one point from safety. While they've collected seven points from six home games, Burnley's attack has struggled, netting just five goals at Turf Moor -- the fewest in the league. However, Zian Flemming has been a bright spot, scoring four goals in his first ten Premier League appearances.
Crystal Palace, usually consistent under Oliver Glasner, have now lost two in a row for just the second time this season, following defeats to Strasbourg and Manchester United. Jean-Philippe Mateta's penalty gave Palace the lead against United, but two second-half goals ended their 12-game unbeaten home league run. Now ninth in the table, Palace are just four points off the Champions League places and have been impressive away from home, earning more points on the road than all but Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham, and conceding only four goals in six away matches -- the best in the league.
Recent meetings between Burnley and Palace have often been tight, with only one team scoring in seven of their last ten encounters, suggesting that the first goal could be decisive in this crucial clash.
