Crystal Palace attempted just three shots — all three on target — and Daniel Muñoz found the back of the net with the game’s best scoring chance, securing a 1-0 victory away to Burnley on Wednesday at Turf Moor.

Muñoz scored his goal in the 44th minute, when he got on the end of Marc Guehi’s curling cross to the back post. The Colombian right back-turned-goal scorer (his third of the season) still had a lot to do with his header, though, as he had to send it all the way back across goal and stick it just inside the far post from a not-so-wide angle.
The victory sends Crystal Palace (23 points) up to 5th in the Premier League table (for the time being), atop the mass of nine teams separated by four points from 5th to 14th. Burnley (10 points) remain 19th, still just a point away from safety (for the time being), but starting to run out of time after five straight defeats.

Scott Parker’s Clarets lost 3-1 at Brentford at the weekend and have now lost four in a row and are in the relegation zone, but are only one point from safety. Burnley fans would have taken that at this point of the season.
Crystal Palace suffered a rare home defeat at the weekend, as they lost 2-1 against Manchester United after taking the lead. Oliver Glasner sounded off after the game about a lack of arrivals in the summer as Palace’s small squad is struggling to cope with the rigors of European and Premier League action.
Burnley team news, focus
Zeki Amdouni, Conor Roberts and Jordan Beyer all remain out injured, while Parker may things up and start Armando Broja, Marcus Edwards, Lesley Ugochukwu and Jaidon Anthony.
Crystal Palace team news, focus
Glasner doesn’t have many options to rotate his lineup but Lerma could come in and Nketiah probably will too with Ismaila Sarr coming off injured on Sunday. Hughes and Devenny are also pushing to start.
Burnley vs Crystal Palace prediction
This feels like a draw is likely with Burnley knowing it is a good time to play Palace given how stretched their squad is. Burnley 1-1 Crystal Palace.
