Roy Hodgson revealed Wilfried Zaha (hamstring) is still unavailable for Crystal Palace, but Joel Ward is back in the squad.

Eagles trio James McArthur, James McCarthy and James Tomkins all remain sidelined.

Jack Cork, Josh Brownhill and Nick Pope could be in contention for Burnley's match at Palace.

Charlie Taylor (hamstring) is "touch and go" says Sean Dyche, while Chris Wood (hamstring) is also a doubt.

Did you know?

Since a 0-0 draw in their first Premier League meeting in September 2014, Palace and Burnley have each won five out of 10 top-flight contests.

Palace (29 years 203 days) and Burnley (28 years 271 days) have the oldest average PL starting XIs this season. Between them, the Eagles (18) and the Clarets (6) have named the 24 oldest starting line-ups in 2020/21.

Palace have won two of their last three PL home matches, as many as they had in their previous 12 outings at Selhurst Park (D4 L6). They have kept two clean sheets in this run, also more than they had in their previous 12. 

Burnley are looking to win consecutive league matches at Palace for the first time since December 2001 under Stan Ternent.
