Burnley vs Crystal Palace – Match Preview – Burnley host Crystal Palace this Sunday in the fourth game week of the Premier League.
Crystal Palace have not enjoyed the most fruitful start to the Premier League having lost their first three outings to Huddersfield, Liverpool and Swansea. New manager, Frank De Boer seems to already be on the ropes in terms of his job safety, with SkyBet offerings odds of 4/7 for the Dutchman to be the first Premier League manager to be sacked.
The Londoners have a squad capable of producing much better performances than they have so far, with Christian Benteke yet to get a foothold whilst leading the Palace attack. This match is a must win for the club, who will be down in the dumps if they were to lose their first four matches given the opposition. Can they turn it around?

As previously mentioned, Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke is yet to find the back of the net this season. In fact, the whole Palace squad is; as they haven’t scored a goal so far in the 2017/18 campaign. Once an unstoppable force in the box, the big Belgian will be hoping to rejuvenate the form of his former self but will have to start scoring quickly if so. Can he score a crucial goal for the visitors?
