Burnley in their usual claret and blue, Palace in yellow. Anthony Taylor is the referee.
14:55
The last time this fixture was played in the top flight Palace came from 2-0 down to win 2-3, Dwight Gale netting an 87th-minute winner.
14:50
Kick-off just ten minutes away. As ever football is keen to align itself to what it sees as good causes so there will be a remembrance service before the game.
14:40
This man's form has also helped.
14:35
Burnley are strong at home, with ten of their 11 points this season coming from home fixtures, which has left Dyche's side in a much stronger position than they were in in the 2014-15 season when they had only four points at this stage. He said he's managing "a more solid group this time round."
14:28
Not sure about this Pardew claim though.
14:25
Pardew was full of praise for Sean Dyche ahead of the match, crediting him with doing a "super job" at Turf Moor. "He brings an honesty and thoroughness to his performances, is a modern coach who will have a long career in this game I am sure," he added.

Palace have also conceded in their last 15 away Premier League games, so defending clearly an issue for Alan Pardew's side.
14:20
Burnley have scored just eight goals in the league this season - a tally only Sunderland have fewer than - but today come up against a defence that's yet to keep a clean sheet, a feat matched only by Sunderland. That shows a moveable object is meeting a resistible force and that Sunderland are hopeless.
14:13
Gareth Southgate is going to be an interested spectator today and he must be pretty happy with those line-ups. Townsend, Tome Heaton and Michael Keane are already on his radar and perhaps a few others - Wilfried Zaha especially - could play themselves into his squad with a timely performance here.

Meanwhile it's three changes for the visitors; Joe Ledley, James Tomkins and Chung-Yong Lee all drop to the bench for Jason Puncheon, Andros Townsend and Damien Delaney.
14:03
Burnley make two changes to the side that got a point at Old Trafford last weekend, with Jon Flanagan in for the injured Stephen Ward and Steven Defour replacing Andre Gray, who drops to the bench.
