Crystal Palace v Burnley live stream, Saturday 26 February, 3pm GMT
Burnley will be looking to maintain their fine run of form when they do battle with Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon.
Back-to-back victories over Brighton and Tottenham have moved Sean Dyche’s side to within two points of safety. It has been a fantastic turnaround from Burnley, whose survival prospects looked grim a few weeks ago. The Clarets have lost only one of their last six matches in the Premier League, and even that defeat by Liverpool was unfortunate given the strength of their performance on the day.
Dyche will be most pleased with his team’s solidity of late. Burnley have kept four clean sheets in their last half-dozen games, including an impressive shut-out against Spurs in midweek. Only six teams in the division have conceded fewer goals than Burnley this season.
Crystal Palace returned to winning ways in midweek, as a two-goal salvo from Wilfried Zaha helped them to a 4-1 victory over Roy Hodgson’s Watford. It was important for Palace to pick up all three points at Vicarage Road having failed to win any of their previous six league outings.
There is still room for improvement, though, and Patrick Vieira will be hoping his side show a clinical edge against Burnley after failing to find the back of the net in two of their last three games.
Palace will be unable to call upon the services of Vicente Guaita, Nathan Ferguson and Joel Ward. Nathaniel Clyne will continue at right-back in the latter’s absence, while Michael Olise is likely to get the nod ahead of Jordan Ayew in the front three.
Burnley will have to make do without Matej Vydra and Johann Berg Gudmundsson, while Maxwel Cornet and Charlie Taylor are facing a battle to be fit in time. Ashley Westwood is in line to return following a bout of Covid-19.
Kick-off is at 3pm GMT on Saturday 26 February. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
