The Premier League is back in action this weekend as a resurgent Crystal Palace side takes on Burnley in an important fixture at the Turf Moor on Monday. Crystal Palace have exceeded expectations this season and have a point to prove this weekend.
Crystal Palace are currently in eighth place in the Premier League table and have been fairly impressive in the final third so far this season. The away side thrashed Leeds United by a massive 4-1 margin before the international break and will want to register yet another victory this weekend.
Burnley, on the other hand, are struggling at the moment and have plenty of work to do to move out of the relegation zone. The home side is yet to win a single game in the Premier League this season and needs to take it up a notch in the coming weeks.
Burnley vs Crystal Palace Head-to-Head
Crystal Palace do not have a particularly positive record against Burnley and have won only 13 games out of a total of 49 matches played between the two teams. Burnley have managed 19 victories against Crystal Palace but will have to play out of their skins to add to their tally this weekend.
The previous meeting between these two teams in June earlier this year resulted in a narrow 1-0 victory for Burnley. Ben Mee scored the winning goal on the day and will want to make an impact against Crystal Palace on Monday.
