Sports Mole previews the action from Crystal Palace's league visit to Burnley.

Crystal Palace visit mid-table Burnley this weekend knowing that victory could move them into second place in the Championship.

Ian Holloway's men have become draw specialists of late, with four of their last six matches ending in stalemate, a run that has seen them lose ground on leaders Cardiff City.

Burnley go into the game with just one win in their last six matches in all competitions, and are looking to bounce back from last weekend's FA Cup defeat to Barnsley.

They will be without top scorer Charlie Austin as well as Martin Paterson, who both have hamstring problems, but Chris McCann is poised to return from the same injury.

Palace could name an unchanged lineup from last weekend's 0-0 draw against Premier League side Stoke City, with Andre Moritz keeping his place in midfield.

Recent form

Burnley: LDDWLL

Crystal Palace: DDLDWD

Possible lineups

Burnley: Grant, Trippier, Lafferty, Duff, Shackell, Marney, McCann, Ings, MacDonald, Fletcher, Wallace

Crystal Palace: Price, Parr, Bolasie, Jedinak, Zaha, Easter, Moxey, O'Keefe, Delaney, Ramage, Moritz

Sports Mole says: 0-2
