The Premier League is back in action with yet another important match this weekend as Burnley take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park Stadium on Saturday. Both teams are yet to meet expectations this season and have a point to prove going into this game.
Crystal Palace are in 13th place in the Premier League standings at the moment and will look to finish in the top half of the table. The Eagles suffered a 2-0 defeat against Leeds United last weekend and will look to bounce back in this match.
Burnley crashed out of the FA Cup earlier this week and will have to deal with a relegation battle in the coming months. Sean Dyche's side played out a 1-1 draw with Brighton in its previous league encounter and need to step up to the plate this weekend.
Crystal Palace vs Burnley Head-to-Head
Burnley have a surprisingly excellent historical record against Crystal Palace and have won 20 matches out of a total of 50 games played between the two teams. Crystal Palace have managed only 13 victories against Burnley and will need to improve their record in this fixture.
The previous meeting between these two Premier League teams last year ended in a narrow 1-0 victory for Burnley. Crystal Palace were disappointing on the day and cannot afford to slip up in this game.

Crystal Palace have excellent players in their ranks but are yet to justify their potential in the Premier League. With the talismanic Wilfried Zaha recovering from an injury at the moment, the likes of Jordan Ayew and Eberechi Eze will have to seize the initiative this weekend.
Burnley are a feisty unit under Sean Dyche and can present the Eagles with several problems on Saturday. Crystal Palace currently hold a slight edge over their opponents and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 2-1 Burnley
