Crystal Palace and Burnley's Premier League clash was pushed back less than an hour before kick-off after the Clarets were caught in traffic heading to Selhurst Park. A decision was taken to push back the kick-off by 10 minutes owing to the late arrival of the Burnley team coach. 'Kick-off for this evening’s Premier League match between Crystal Palace and Burnley will be delayed by 10 minutes to 7.40pm, due to heavy traffic delaying the arrival of the Burnley team coach,' a Premier League statement read. Burnley began the night 11 points from safety in the Premier League, with the club looking likely to face an immediate return to the Championship. The Eagles are looking build on their 1-0 victory over Brighton on Sunday, which snapped a nine-match winless run in the Premier League.
