    Burnley 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Burnley have enjoyed most of the possession since going behind and an Ashley Barnes shot deflects wide off defender Scott Dann.

    Ashley Westwood delivers an inswinging corner from the left wing and goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey is at full stretch to palm it clear from just under his crossbar.

    GOAL - Burnley 0-1 Crystal Palacepublished at 15 mins

    Cheikhou Kouyate bursts forward from midfield and lays it off to Wilfried Zaha in the right channel.

    He runs at Charlie Taylor then cuts the ball across the Burnley goalmouth.

    Jeffrey Schlupp pulls it back and it cannons off defender Phil Bardsley's thigh and into the Burnley net. Not much the right-back could do about that one.

    Burnley 0-0 Crystal Palace

    No clear-cut chances so far so it's still goalless.

    BBC Sport football expert Mark Lawrenson took on sprinter Dina Asher-Smith to predict the outcome of this weekend's Premier League fixtures and here's what he had to say...

    Both of these teams had been on an upward curve until they lost in midweek, and I was surprised by their performances as well as their results.

    I still think they will both kick on again, but I would back Burnley to edge this one. They are at home, and they have had an extra day's rest too.

    Lawro's prediction: 2-1. Dina's prediction: 1-0.

    Plenty for Gareth Southgate to keep a watchful eye on today here at Turf Moor. The England manager is here to check on the form of Tom Heaton, in particular, whose performances surely warrant a recall a week on Wednesday.

    But what about Palace's Aaron Wan-Bissaka? He returns to Roy Hodgson's starting XI today after injury. They are just two of a few hoping to impress.

    They may only be five points above the Premier League's bottom three, but there is little to suggest that Burnley or Crystal Palace will be involved in the relegation shake-up.

    Their midweek defeats were merely a blip in what has been a progressive few weeks for Sean Dyche and Roy Hodgson's teams.

    The Clarets have been hugely aided by their front two simultaneously finding form, as well as the excellent Tom Heaton's almost flawless return in goal.

    It's the start of a big month for Palace, with home games to come against bitter rivals Brighton and then Huddersfield, as well as an FA Cup quarter-final.

    Palace: Hennessey, Wan-Bissaka, Dann, Tomkins, Van Aanholt, Meyer, Kouyate, Milivojevic, Schlupp, Batshuayi, Zaha.

    Subs: Lowton, Gibson, Gudmundsson, Brady, Crouch, Vydra, Hart.

    Burnley, in fact, had been on their longest-ever unbeaten streak in the Premier League before losing 2-0 at Newcastle United on Tuesday night.

    That ended an eight-game unbeaten run for the Clarets (W5 D3).

    And thanks for joining me today for live text commentary on the Premier League game between Burnley and Crystal Palace at Turf Moor.

    Both sides had been on decent runs until losing in midweek, which meant they stayed level in the bottom half of the table.
