Palace Preview: Eagles finally depart London
Crystal Palace will face their first taste of competitive football outside the boundaries of the M25 in over three months when they travel north to Burnley on Saturday for a 15:00 GMT kick-off at Turf Moor.
After a run of 11 straight matches in the capital from all competitions, Palace’s 250 mile trip to Lancashire poses quite the change from their recent journeys in SE25 or short hops across the city. But they will be buoyed by their last trip away from London - a 2-1 triumph over Manchester United at a sunny Old Trafford in August.
In fact, the Eagles have won five of their last six matches outside of London - losing only to Sheffield United in that time.
