and live on Freeview channel 276
The Clarets arrive at Selhurst Park on the back of successive Premier League wins against Brighton and Spurs.
Those results — the club's first back-to-back wins in the top flight in 13 months — closed the gap to Newcastle United and Everton to a couple of points.

"There’s no doubt with the manager and the last two wins that there is confidence about what they try to do and how they want to do it. When you win two games the confidence gets higher."
The Eagles ended a winless run of their own when beating Watford 4-1 at Vicarage Road. Vieira's side had seen off Millwall and Hartlepool in the FA Cup, but hadn't won in the league in six games beforehand.
The ex-Arsenal midfielder said: "It will be important for us to play as well as we can, we know their strengths and how they can hurt us. But we know how we can hurt them as well. We’ll have to respect our game plan, to play with tempo and try to create those chances.

LIVE: Crystal Palace v Burnley
Full-time: Crystal Palace 1 Burnley 1
Milivojevic’s own goal early in the second half earns Burnley a share of the spoils at Selhurst Park.
Superb block
That’s an outstanding intervention from Tarkowski to prevent Mateta from turning in Olise’s cross.
Zaha almost restores Palace’s lead
Roberts can’t cope with the Ivorian, who steps one way to test Pope, before going on the outside and hitting the far post.
Disallowed
Weghorst has the ball in the net when following up from Rodriguez’s saved effort, but the latter took control of the ball in an offside position.
Substitutions
Milivojevic is replaced by Mateta while Burnley make a double change; Westwood and Taylor replace Cork and Pieters.
