With only one away win all season, Crystal Palace will be hoping to buck the trend against Burnley at Turf Moor tomorrow.

Under new manager Eddie Howe, Burnley have pushed up the league and are only four points away from a play off place.

Things could have been very different as Palace tried to acquire the services of the former Bournemouth boss.

Instead the challenge of the North West seemed to be the better choice for the Championship's youngest manager.

Only suffering two defeats in the last eight games, the Eagles have definitely reached a pivotal point in their season where things have reached make or break.

Palace need to turn more draws into wins if they are hoping to move away from the relegation zone.

Last week's 3-3 draw with Reading is a prime example of points dropped for Palace as they let a 2-0 home lead slip, only taking a point.

Burnley themselves are on a good run with one loss in eight games.

So it will be a very tough test for the Eagles as they try to keep some breathing space between themselves and the drop zone.

If there was ever a time for Palace to get their first away win since October and start to gather some momentum, now would be perfect.
