A third successive win for Burnley would move the Clarets up to fifth spot with the two teams immediately above them, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Sheffield United, due to meet on Sunday afternoon.
Crystal Palace have slipped from sixth spot to 13th following a winless run of five matches and will be determined to record their first victory on the road since early October.
Team news
Burnley's Ashley Westwood serves a one-match suspension, but Sean Dyche's midfield resources are boosted by the return to contention of Danny Drinkwater. Matej Vydra is also available again.
Joel Ward (knee) has been ruled out for Crystal Palace for a "number of weeks". However, Mamadou Sakho is back in training and closing in on a first-team return.
