Burnley welcome Crystal Palace to Turf Moor hoping to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to four games.

Sean Dyche’s men have have lost just one of their last six Premier League home matches, climbing out of the relegation zone and they will be looking to move above Palace with victory in front of their own fans.

However, Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew has challenged his players to continue their positive start to his reign in the Selhurst Park dugout at Burnley.

Palace came back from a goal down to beat Tottenham 2-1 in Pardew’s first Premier League game in charge but it has been on the road where they have struggled so far this season.

Pardew’s men have won none of their last eight league games away from home and have failed to score in five of their last six Premier League away games, but the former Newcastle boss, who is set to hand new signing Yaya Sanogo his debut, will be hoping that changes at Turf Moor.

Team news

Dyche is hoping defensive duo Kieran Trippier and Jason Shackell will be fit for the visit of Palace.

Trippier felt his hamstring during Wednesday's FA Cup loss to Tottenham, a game captain Shackell missed with a calf problem.

Kevin Long (knee), Stephen Ward (ankle) and Matt Taylor (Achilles) are all still sidelined.

Yaya Sanogo looks set to make his Crystal Palace debut after completing loan move from Arsenal.

Loan signing Sanogo could make his Palace debut at Burnley. The Arsenal striker will face competition to start up front from fit-again Marouane Chamakh, while midfielder James McArthur has beaten his foot problem.

Pardew has no fresh injury concerns, and could hand Wilfried Zaha a start at Turf Moor.

Merson’s prediction

Danny Ings congratulates Burnley goalscorer Scott Arfield.

I fancy Burnley here. They have to win and I worry for them if they don't because they have a couple of decent games up next and after that, their next seven or eight games are rotten. So they had to beat QPR last week and they have to win this game as well. Whatever happens, Dyche has done a great job, and for them to be out of the bottom three in January is good going.

I thought Palace were a little bit fortunate last weekend. I know that they won but Tottenham scored, sat back and invited pressure. Palace took advantage. I think Sanogo will feature because I don't see the point of taking players on loan and not playing them. I think he'll be a handful for defenders. He's quick and he's quite strong.
