Crystal Palace prepare to entertain Burnley at Selhurst Park on Sunday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 4 of the 14 previous games, with the Eagles winning just 3.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Selhurst Park was just last season, in August 2006, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Championship match.
