Team news
Here are the line ups.
Fact me
- Burnley won both Premier League clashes against Palace last season, their first league double over them since the 2001-02 season.
- Crystal Palace haven’t lost three consecutive league games against Burnley since February 1971 – a run of four in a row.
- Burnley have won six of their eight top-flight games against the Eagles (D1 L1), their only defeat a 3-2 reverse at Turf Moor in January 2015, a game the Clarets led 2-0.
- Crystal Palace are yet to score a Premier League goal this season as we head in to MD4. Palace have never failed to find the net in their opening four games to a league season in their history.
- Frank de Boer is only the fifth manager in Premier League history to see their first three games in charge of a club end as a defeat without his side scoring – the other four were Gianluca Vialli at Chelsea, Kevin Ball at Sunderland, Steve McClaren at Middlesbrough and Stuart Gray at Southampton.
- The record for the fewest number of Premier League matches that a permanent manager has been in charge of a club for in the competition is currently held by Les Reed at Charlton in 2006-07 (7 games).
- Should Burnley’s new signing Chris Wood appear in this game, this would be his sixth league game against the Eagles – all with different clubs (West Brom, Birmingham, Bristol City, Millwall, Leicester and Burnley). He scored in his last league game against them, for Leicester in a 2-2 draw in April 2013.
- Chris Wood has scored in over half of his league appearances since the start of 2016-17 (25/48 – 52%).
- Ashley Barnes scored a goal in both Premier League games against Crystal Palace last season – the Eagles are one of two teams he’s netted more than one Premier League goal against along with Spurs (2).
- Lee Chung-yong could make his 100th Premier League appearance in this match, becoming only the third South Korean player to reach this landmark in the competition after Park Ji-Sung and Ki Sung-yueng.
