Both Burnley and Crystal Palace will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when the pair meet at Turf Moor on Wednesday night.
Scott Parker’s side saw their relegation fears deepen when going down 3-1 away at Brentford on Saturday.
That latest setback means the 19th-placed Clarets have come away empty-handed from each of their last four Premier League matches.
Things are unlikely to get any easier for Burnley this midweek when Crystal Palace come calling. Oliver Glasner’s side tasted defeat in the Premier League for just the third time this season when falling to a 2-1 loss at home to Manchester United on Sunday.
Therefore, the Eagles will be looking to bounce back at the first attempt when they make the long trip to Lancashire on matchday 14.
How the bookies view it: Eagles to emerge victorious
The bookies expect Crystal Palace to get back up and running on Wednesday night, with the capital club short-priced 7/10 favourites on bet365.
Burnley – who have banked seven of their 10 Premier League points at Turf Moor this season – are as big as 7/2 on bet365 while the draw is trading at 29/10 with the same firm.
Head to head: History against the hosts
Crystal Palace have held the upper hand in this fixture in recent seasons, avoiding defeat in each of the last four meetings between the duo, taking top honours on each of the last two occasions.
Players to watch: Mateta to make his mark?
Having hit his seventh Premier League goal of the season against Manchester United on Sunday, Jean-Philippe Mateta will be rubbing his hands at the prospect of coming up against Burnley’s brittle backline on Wednesday night. With that in mind, the Frenchman has to be fancied for a goal or an assist here at 4/5 with bet365.
All-action Burnley midfielder Florentino has committed two fouls or more in four of his last eight Premier League outings and a repeat here appeals at 10/11 on bet365.
Predicted line-ups
Burnley boss Parker could make some changes to his starting XI as he looks to arrest his sides’ slump in form, though he is again expected to be without injured trio Connor Roberts, Jordan Beyer and Zeki Amdouni.
Ismaila Sarr looks set for a spell on the sidelines after being forced off with an ankle injury against Manchester United at the weekend, so Eddie Nketiah should get the nod from the off at Turf Moor. Caleb Kporha, Cheick Doucoure and Chadi Riad are all out of contention for the visitors.
Burnley: Dubravka; Walker, Tuanzebe, Esteve, Hartman; Cullen, Florentino; Tchaouna, Ugochukwu, Anthony; Flemming
Crystal Palace: Henderson; Lacroix, Guehi, Richards; Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; Nketiah, Mateta, Pino
Anything else catch the eye?
Backing Crystal Palace to win alongside under 4.5 goals will boost the odds about an away success to an eye-catching even-money (1/1) on bet365.
This would have been a winning selection in each of the Eagles’ five Premier League victories this season, while the same combination has clicked in six of Burnley's nine top-flight defeats this term.
Given that the hosts have conceded at least two goals in nine of their 13 league games this season, Palace also merit support to strike twice here at a value 17/20 with William Hill.
