Crystal Palace return to Selhurst Park on Wednesday night looking to secure back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time since December.
The Eagles enter this midweek clash with renewed optimism following a hard-fought 1–0 victory over rivals Brighton on Sunday. That result ended a debilitating nine-match winless streak in the top flight. Oliver Glasner’s men now sit in 13th place with 32 points, currently nine points clear of the relegation zone. Conversely, Burnley arrive in South London marooned in 19th place and 11 points adrift of safety. Scott Parker’s side extended their winless run to 16 matches after a 2–0 home defeat to West Ham on Saturday and are now desperate to avoid a 10th away loss of a bruising campaign.

Team News
Crystal Palace
Manager Oliver Glasner confirmed a massive triple boost as Adam Wharton, Daichi Kamada, and Borna Sosa are all available again for selection. Ismaïla Sarr and Yeremy Pino came through the Brighton win unscathed and are expected to start, with Sarr looking to score in a third consecutive league match. However, the Eagles remain without top scorer Jean-Philippe Mateta (knee), Eddie Nketiah (thigh), and Cheick Doucouré (knee). Justin Devenny faces a late fitness test on a foot issue.
Burnley
The Clarets could hand a full debut to James Ward-Prowse, who was ineligible to face parent club West Ham on Saturday. Scott Parker remains without a host of key personnel, including Mike Trésor (ankle), Zeki Amdouni (knee), and Josh Cullen (knee). Zian Flemming, who has scored 38.5% of Burnley’s away goals this season, will look to end a road goal drought dating back to December. Axel Tuanzebe (Achilles) will be assessed ahead of kick-off.
