Preview Burnley Premier League, Nov 28, 2021
Preview Burnley picked up a 3-3 draw against Crystal Palace last weekend. Benteke (8') grabbed the opener for a Palace lead, but Ben Mee (19') restored parity with a towering header minutes later. Chris Wood (27') gave Burnley the lead before Conor Gallagher assisted Benteke (36') for the Eagles' second goal to see both sides level once again. Marc Guehi (41') scored his first goal for Palace, giving the Eagles the lead minutes before the break. However, four minutes after the interval, the game took another dramatic turn after Maxwel Cornet (49’) crashed a vicious left-footed volley into the roof of the net to salvage a point for the Clarets at Turf Moor. Burnley have the Premier League form of LDWDD and are in 18th place, having picked up 9 points after 1W, 6D, & 5L. Sean Dyche's conventional 4—4—2 formation could feature Chris Wood and Maxwel Cornet in attack once again. Ashley Westwood and James Tarkowski are suspended for this fixture. Meanwhile, Ashley Barnes remains in doubt for this Sunday’s clash against Spurs.
