Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Burnley vs Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 19:30 GMT match.

• Fixture: Burnley vs Crystal Palace

• Date: Wednesday, 03 December 2025

• Kick-off: 19:30 GMT

• Venue: Turf Moor

Burnley will be looking to turn their fortunes around after a string of losses, and playing at home might just give them the boost they need. With a predicted 4-2-3-1 formation, they'll rely heavily on the creativity of Hannibal and the finishing of Flemming to break down Crystal Palace's defence. However, their recent form suggests they'll need to be at their best to secure a win.

Crystal Palace, on the other hand, have shown more consistency in their recent results, with a mix of two wins, a draw, and two losses. Their 3-4-2-1 setup should provide a solid defensive base while allowing Sarr and Pino to exploit any gaps in Burnley's defence. Given their head-to-head record against Burnley, Palace might fancy their chances of coming away with at least a point.

Burnley have had a tough run lately, losing four out of their last five matches. Their only win came against Wolverhampton Wanderers away from home, which might give them a glimmer of hope. However, with four consecutive losses now, confidence could be low, and they'll need to dig deep to find the momentum to turn things around.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Loss: 1-3 vs Brentford (A)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Chelsea (H)

• Loss: 2-3 vs West Ham United (A)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Arsenal (H)

• Win: 3-2 vs Wolves (A)

Crystal Palace have had a more balanced run of form, with two wins, a draw, and two losses in their last five games. Their victories against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brentford show they can compete with solid teams. Despite a recent loss to Arsenal, their overall performance suggests they're in a better position than Burnley heading into this match.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Loss: 1-2 vs Manchester United (H)

• Win: 2-0 vs Wolves (A)

• Draw: 0-0 vs Brighton & Hove Albion (H)

• Win: 2-0 vs Brentford (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Arsenal (A)

The head-to-head record between Burnley and Crystal Palace has been mixed, with both teams having their moments. Crystal Palace have won the last two encounters, including a convincing 3-0 victory in their most recent meeting. However, Burnley have shown they can compete, drawing and winning in previous matches. This suggests that while Palace might have the upper hand, Burnley can't be written off.

Burnley's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation will see Dúbravka in goal, with Walker, Hartman, Estève, and Tuanzebe forming a solid backline. The midfield duo of Cullen and Florentino will provide stability, allowing Hannibal, Tchaouna, and Foster to push forward and support Flemming up top.

• Predicted lineup: Henderson (GK), Guéhi (DF), Richards (DF), Lacroix (DF), Muñoz (MF), Wharton (MF), Kamada (MF), Mitchell (MF), Sarr (MF), Pino (MF), Mateta (AT)

Crystal Palace's 3-4-2-1 setup will have Henderson between the posts, backed by a defensive trio of Lacroix, Guéhi, and Richards. The midfield quartet of Muñoz, Mitchell, Kamada, and Wharton will control the game's tempo, while Sarr and Pino will look to create chances for Mateta.

• Zian Flemming vs Marc Guéhi: Flemming's attacking prowess will be tested by Guéhi's defensive solidity.

• Josh Cullen vs Adam Wharton: Cullen's midfield control will be crucial against Wharton's energetic play.

• Hannibal (Burnley): Hannibal's creativity in midfield could be the key to unlocking Crystal Palace's defence.

• Yeremy Pino (Crystal Palace): Pino's pace and skill on the wing will be vital for Palace's attacking threat.
