Crystal Palace and Burnley are level on points and a victory for either team would take them up to eighth, above Arsenal and Sheffield United.

Palace are seeking to return to winning ways after their defeat to Liverpool ended a run of four straight victories.

Burnley are aiming to build on their 1-0 home win over Watford last time out.

Team news

Roy Hodgson is hopeful that Vicente Guaita (thigh), Wilfried Zaha (calf) and Christian Benteke (muscle) can be available for selection.

Martin Kelly, Jeffrey Schlupp and James Tomkins are still ruled out.

Burnley have doubts over Jay Rodriguez, who went off with a knock to the foot and a tight hamstring against Watford.

Ashley Barnes, Chris Wood, Robbie Brady and Johann Berg Gudmundsson remain sidelined.

Crystal Palace have won their last four Premier League encounters against Burnley by an aggregate score of 8-1.
