Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Turf Moor will host Saturday’s Premier League game between Burnley and Crystal Palace. The Clarets aim to escape the danger zone, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Palace, as they always do when playing in front of home fans. Matej Vydra, who scored the equalizer in a 1-1 draw with Chelsea before the international break, is pushing for a start, while Dale Stephens remains in the recovery room.
The Eagles, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Man City and Wolves. The capital club are high on spirits ahead of the trip to Burnley, and seeing that the Clarets were more than fortunate not to suffer a loss at Stamford Bridge, away win should be considered. Both Ferguson and Eze are sidelined with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the away team.
