    Both Christian Benteke and Alexander Sorloth must not be producing the goods needed even in training. The team needs goals and is struggling to score. They are OK defensively but they just can't score. It's a different kind of pressure they are expected to win today and they have to get something against a team that have been poor.

    I would not worry too much under Sean Dyche, because on the training ground he’s still getting something from them. You can see when players lose confidence in a manager, but I’m not seeing that.

    Crystal Palace v Burnley (15:00 GMT)

    Today, Selhurst Park hosts a clash between two sides with two of the most unenviable recent records in the Premier League.

    Crystal Palace are without a win in their past eight league games - but they did claim an impressive draw at Old Trafford last Saturday.

    Meanwhile, Burnley have gone six Premier League matches without a win and were beaten by Newcastle on Monday night.

    Neither of these sides won a game in October or November - it's December now - something's got to give!
