Burnley is set to face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Wednesday as they look to break a challenging 16-match winless streak and ignite their bid for Premier League survival. Currently sitting in 19th place, the Clarets find themselves in a precarious position, lying 11 points clear of the bottom but significantly off the pace for safety. Under the leadership of manager Scott Parker, the team suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat to West Ham last Saturday, which pushed their season tally to just 15 points from 25 matches. With only a single away victory to their name this season—a narrow 3-2 win at Wolves in October—the pressure is increasing for Burnley to secure a vital result to keep their hopes of staying up alive.
In terms of team news, Burnley is grappling with an injury crisis that has left the squad somewhat depleted. Key players Josh Cullen and Zeki Amdouni are sidelined with knee injuries, forcing Parker to modify his lineup. Lesley Ugochukwu and Florentino Luís are expected to step into central midfield roles, while James Ward-Prowse returns to the fold for his full debut. Zian Flemming, who has showcased some form with five goals this season, will spearhead the attack.
Burnley’s defensive lineup will see Martin Dúbravka in goal, backed by an experienced quartet of Kyle Walker, Maxime Estève, Bashir Humphreys, and Lucas Pires. Midfielders Hannibal Mejbri and Marcus Edwards are also set to play crucial roles, aiming to inject creativity into the team’s play. It is crucial for Burnley to start the match strongly, especially since they have conceded the most goals in the league during the first ten minutes of matches this season.
The match kicks off at 19:30 GMT on February 11, 2026, and fans in the UK will be able to watch via discovery+ on the TNT Sports app, while viewers in the USA can follow the action on Peacock.
As Burnley steps into this crucial encounter, the hope remains that they can turn their fortunes around and reignite their fight for survival in the Premier League.
