Burnley vs Crystal Palace: Can Crystal Palace make it to the top 10

Positioned at 13th in the league, Crystal Palace has the opportunity to ascend into the top ten with a victory today. Despite a challenging October where Roy Hodgson's team did not secure a win and gathered only a single point from three games, suffering consecutive losses, they have a noteworthy record of obtaining seven points from their past four Premier League encounters at Turf Moor.

On the other side, Vincent Kompany's Burnley is facing tough times after their promotion to the Premier League. Positioned at 19th, the Clarets have yet to win at home this season, losing all five matches on their own turf and are currently navigating through a losing streak of four matches in all competitions. Nevertheless, a win today could provide a significant boost, potentially elevating them out of the relegation area.

Take a look at the match highlights:

First-half begins!!

In the 2^nd minute, Burnley began the match with intent, and a cross from Gudmundsson found Amdouni, who headed the ball just a fraction wide of the left post.

In the 9^th minute, having suffered two consecutive losses recently, which matches the number of defeats they encountered in their prior 11 Premier League games, Crystal Palace comes to Turf Moor eager for a turnaround in today's match.

In the 16^th minute, Edouard's late sliding tackle on Burnley's goalkeeper Trafford resulted in a clear infraction, leading to him receiving the first yellow card of the match without any dispute.

In the 22^nd minute, Schlupp has given Palace the lead with a score of 1-0 in an unfortunate turn for Burnley. Defender Beyer seemed to have the situation under control while dealing with a long pass on the right side. However, Ayew proved too strong for him, overpowering Beyer and then charging into the penalty area. Ayew's pass across the six-yard box found Schlupp, who was quick to meet the ball and complete the play with a decisive finish.

In the 25^th minute, in an attempt to equalize, Burnley's Vitinho delivers a promising cross into the penalty area. Unfortunately, the lack of synchronization with his teammates means that the ball passes through without connection and goes harmlessly out of play for a goal-kick.

In the 29^th minute, Burnley came close to scoring, spearheaded by Koleosho's aggressive play. Even though Crystal Palace initially managed to neutralize the danger, Burnley maintained their pressure. Taylor delivered a sharp cross into the mix, which Gudmundsson connected with a header. However, his attempt narrowly missed, passing the right post on the outside.

In the 35^th minute, with 10 minutes left in the first half at Turf Moor, Palace maintains a one-goal advantage. Despite this, Burnley has reacted positively since allowing the goal. The pressing question now is whether they can capitalize on their momentum and level the score before the halftime whistle.

In the 39^th minute, a remarkable defensive play unfolded as Taylor located Koleosho with a beautifully lofted pass to the left flank.

In the 45+2 minute, Burnley is eager to level the score before the half-time interval and quickly sets a free-kick in motion just outside the penalty area. Koleosho seizes the moment with a powerful strike, prompting a swift reaction from Johnstone who pushes the ball away to ensure safety and maintain the lead.

In the 45+3 minute, Guehi has been cautioned for dissent, following an overly vigorous objection to a decision by the referee. The England defender expressed significant discontent with the official's ruling, but it is essential that he composes himself moving forward in the match.

Ayew has received a yellow card for Palace, joining Guehi in the referee's book. His caution comes as a result of questioning the referee's decision to permit Burnley to execute the quick free-kick previously. It seems both players have let their frustrations get the better of them regarding the official's calls.

Second-half begins!!

In the 64^th minute, Burnley's attempt to score is thwarted by an offside ruling. The sequence began with Koleosho moving inward and taking a shot, although it lacked power. Rodriguez was quick to respond, skillfully finishing the chance by driving the ball into the top of the net. Yet, the celebration was abruptly halted as the linesman raised the flag for offside, a decision that was certainly correct upon review. The score remains unchanged as the goal is disallowed.

In the 70^th minute, Schlupp, the scorer of the game's solitary goal thus far, is being substituted off for a well-deserved rest.
