Burnley will host Crystal Palace at Turf Moor on Wednesday in another round of the 2025-26 Premier League campaign. The home side endured a difficult November, losing all four of their matches in the month, and will be aiming for a stronger finish to the year as they sit 19th in the table with 10 points.
They fell 3-1 to Brentford at the weekend and had looked on course to secure a point on hostile ground after Zian Flemming’s 85th-minute penalty brought them level, only for Brentford to score twice late on to reclaim the lead and cart away all three points.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, hosted a floundering Manchester United side at Selhurst Park on Sunday with hopes of extending their strong league form and appeared well on course to do so after talisman Jean-Philippe Mateta put the Eagles ahead from the penalty spot in the first half. However, they faltered after the break, conceding twice in nine minutes to lose 2-1 and suffer their first home defeat to United since 2020.
Sunday's defeat came just three days after Palace’s 2-1 loss to Strasbourg in Europe and they will be eager to halt the slump and quickly restart a positive run of results.
