It was a much-needed win for Crystal Palace at the weekend, who were able to hold on to a 1-0 win at the Amex against their rivals Brighton.

That should provide a confidence boost for the Eagles, who have been lifted to 13th in the league. The presence of Ismaila Sarr has massively increased Palace’s threat in the final third, while Jorgen Strand Larsen also looked sharp on his debut last time out. 

Meanwhile, Burnley are firmly planted in the bottom three, and they are ten points behind Nottingham Forest in 17th. There is still a glimmer of hope that they can pull off a miraculous survival story, but they will realistically need to start winning games.

They should view this as a winnable match, so are likely to be front-footed in their approach. That could leave them exposed at the back, though, which makes goals a target.

The departure of Marc Guehi has been a massive loss, and Palace have shipped six goals in their four games since their captain joined Man City.

However, they have at least still managed to find the back of the net in all of those matches, highlighting how they are still adept in the final third, and the return of Daniel Munoz is another positive.  

Burnley have struggled to limit opposition shots this season, and they rank top of the charts for total shots and shots on target conceded in the Premier League. Because of that, Martin Dubravka has been a key player for the Clarets - he has played every available minute in the Premier League, and has racked up the most saves of any keeper.

He tops the charts by quite some distance, too. Dubravka has accrued 99 saves from 25 appearances this season, and Robin Roefs is second, with 77 saves.

Jaidon Anthony has been a key player for Burnley this season, operating on the left wing. He sees quite a lot of the ball for his side, and often looks to beat his marker.

The winger is averaging 1.98 fouls drawn per 90 this season, and has an excellent matchup to increase that figure on Wednesday night, as he will be primarily up against Munoz out wide.

Anthony’s fouls drawn prospects look solid here, and he has cleared this line alone with multiple fouls drawn in six of his last seven starts, but he is also no stranger to a foul, which adds an extra safety net here. 

Anthony is averaging 1.1 fouls per 90 this season on the road and was booked for a late challenge in his last away outing against Sunderland. That means he has recorded an infringement in each of his last nine away starts. 

Burnley’s lack of coherence from set-pieces certainly hasn’t helped their cause this campaign. They have conceded 102 shots from dead-ball scenarios this season, which is the fifth-most of any side in the English top flight. 

Maxence Lacroix is averaging 0.59 shots per 90 this season, which is nothing to write home about, but he has notably landed this selection in all four matches without Guehi. Lacroix had two shots against Chelsea in his last home outing, with one of those hitting the target. 

The Frenchman has seen an uptick in shots recently and has landed this selection in seven of his last eight starts overall. Additionally, he seems to have more involvement in the final third at Selhurst Park, where his shots average rises to 0.74 per 90. Lacroix will be Palace’s primary aerial threat here, and draws an excellent matchup to keep his streak going.
