Crystal Palace Preview – Will the Eagles build on Watford win?
Crystal Palace are in mid-table in the Premier League after winning six, drawing 11 and losing nine of their 26 league games. Patrick Vieira is having a solid season at Selhurst Park, as many had Crystal Palace down for a relegation scrap before a ball was kicked last summer.
Palace ended their six-game league winless streak in emphatic style in midweek. The Eagles were too strong for Roy Hodgson’s struggling Watford at Vicarage Road, with goals from Wilfried Zaha (2), Jean-Philippe Mateta and Conor Gallagher sealing a comfortable 4-1 away success.
The Londoners will now be looking for their first home victory since easing past Norwich City in December. The home side are the bookies’ favourites at 10/11.
Burnley Preview – Can the Clarets make it three in a row?
Sean Dyche’s Burnley have had a tough season so far, but the Clarets have had a week to remember as they battle for Premier League survival. Overall, the Lancashire side have won just three of 23 matches, though two of those victories have come in the past seven days.
Last weekend, Dyche’s boys put in a five-star performance at the Amex Stadium, with goals from Wout Weghorst, Josh Brownhill and Aaron Lennon securing a 3-0 win at Brighton & Hove Albion. Burnley followed that up with a stunning 1-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur at Turf Moor on Wednesday.
