| The Eagles are 10th in the Premier League table and there is a small chance for them to participate in the European competition next season with a strong end to the season. Winning games like this is a must if Crystal Palace want to achieve those aims, but they hold a 6-4-5 record at home having scored 12 goals and conceded 13. Crystal Palace had won 4 in a row in the Premier League either side of the three month break and they had earned clean sheets in each of those games. For Burnley, the victory over Watford last Thursday came after being crushed earlier in the week by Manchester City. They had been unbeaten in 3 away games in the Premier League before being smashed at Manchester City, and Burnley had earned 7 points from a possible 9. |
