Crystal Palace vs Burnley
Another corner is won for Palace on the left as Esteves clears. Ayew whips it in to no avail. Wharton takes the resulting kick to show a stat sheet that reads eight corners to Burnley's one.

FINE SAVE TRAFFORD. Corner is worked short then crossed. A header is flashed wide right but Andersen latches on and fires straight at Burnley's number one. It's a top block.

Trafford flights a long goalkick downfield. He'll no doubt be bolstened by the fact that each of Burnley’s last seven Premier League away wins against London sides has been to nil. They’re winless in their last 22 top-flight games when conceding at least once in the capital (D5 L17) since beating Chelsea 3-2 in August 2017. Will Palace score first here? They've got another corner here...

The visitors have seemingly settled into a bit of possession here. Palace take a relaxed approach by keeping their shape, yet Ayew's had to track back and tackle to give Burnley a corner on the right for Gudmundsson to take. He curls it in but it's cleared relatively easily.

CLOSE! Palace are enjoying freedom in behind. Mateta gets in amidst cries of holding. He stalls then finds Ayew and his cross from the right is JUST missed by the head of Eduoard at the back post.
Crystal Palace vs Burnley
Going back to the set piece allowance. Excluding penalties, only Nottingham Forest (15) have conceded more set piece goals than Burnley this season (13). However, the Clarets can be confident in defence as Crystal Palace have scored just a single goal in this manner, the fewest in the division.

So far the complexion is clear. Palace have had six touches in Burnley's box. On the contrary, the Turf Moor residents haven't had one yet.

Nice link up from Palace. Munoz latches onto a cutting ball down the right. He finds Wharton and his early ball is chested back out of the box by Eduoard. Palace just can't get on the end of it. Promising though...
Crystal Palace vs Burnley
Burnley glide a long ball forward, yet Taylor is a little too keen to dispossess Ayew. Foul for Palace and we reset.
