Burnley-Crystal Palace Preview

Sean Dyche insists Burnley will still face a tough match against Crystal Palace on Saturday even if star man Wilfried Zaha remains absent for the home side.

Palace have lost 17 of their last 19 Premier League games in which Zaha has not played a part, failing to score in 15 of those 17 defeats.

The most recent of those scoreless losses came against Leeds United on Monday and the Ivory Coast international remains a major doubt for the visit of Burnley.

However, Clarets boss Dyche does not want his side to read too much into Zaha's expected absence at Selhurst Park.
