The Eagles are comfortably clear of the relegation zone, with 14 points separating them from 18th placed Fulham heading into the weekend, however, a difficult spell looms while club talisman Wilfried Zaha recovers from a hamstring injury. Roy Hodgson’s side struggled to create almost anything of note last time out against Leeds, succumbing to a 2-0 defeat at Elland Road, while January signing Jean-Philippe Mateta had very little service to pounce upon up front.
Burnley still find themselves among the clubs in the jaws of relegation, although a resurgence in recent weeks has seen their typical mettle under Sean Dyche return. Victories against Liverpool and Aston Villa bought the Clarets some breathing room, with eight points separating them from Fulham, although they have now taken just one point from their last three games, albeit in difficult fixtures. Burnley should have the quality to survive the drop, but much will rely on their output up front, with goals currently still in dire supply – the Clarets’ scored just 14 in 22 games representing the worst return in the league.

Palace are plagued by injury problems. Wilfried Zaha’s hamstring injury the cause of greatest concern, with the club losing 18 of their last 23 matches without their talisman. However, all of Jeffrey Schlupp, Mamadou Sakho, Connor Wickham, James Tomkins, James McArthur, James McCarthy, Wayne Hennessey and Nathan Ferguson are expected to miss out.
There is better news for Burnley, though, with Jack Cork and Nick Pope both back in training. Chris Wood remains a doubt due to a thigh injury.
What are the predicted line-ups?
Crystal Palace: Guaita; Clyne, Kouyate, Cahill, Mitchell; Townsend, Milivojevic, Riedewald, Eze; Mateta, Ayew
Burnley: Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Gudmundsson, Westwood, Cork, McNeil; Barnes, Rodriguez
