Crystal Palace prepare to entertain Burnley at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 4 of the 13 previous games, with the Eagles winning just 3.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Selhurst Park was less than a year ago, in October 2005, with Crystal Palace running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Championship match.
