James Ward Prowse - Available after loan-lock Ward-Prowse is available again for Burnley after missing Saturday's 2-0 defeat against his parent club West Ham United due to being loan-locked.

Impact Ward-Prowse sat out Saturday's loss to his parent club West Ham United due to loan restrictions but is now cleared and available again for the Clarets. The midfielder is expected to log his first Premier League minutes for Burnley in Wednesday's matchup against Crystal Palace and should immediately start pushing for a decent spot in coach Scott Parker's midfield rotation.

Zian Flemming - Seven shots in defeat Flemming had seven shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to West Ham United.

Impact Flemming was at the center of Burnley's best looks after the break in Saturday's clash with the Hammers, coming closest with a powerful header that Mads Hermansen cleared off the line from a corner. Earlier in the same sequence, his initial header was blocked before West Ham United's goalkeeper denied him again on the follow-up. Those moments highlighted a busy outing for the striker, who posted a season high seven shots (two on target). Making his first Premier League start since late December, Flemming delivered a lively performance, and even without a goal, his impact could earn him more opportunities in the upcoming fixtures.

Martin Dubravka - Beaten twice in loss Dubravka had two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus West Ham United.

Impact Dubravka was beaten twice before halftime in Saturday's loss to the Hammers, first getting caught off his line as Crysencio Summerville calmly chipped him for the opener. He was beaten again in the 26th minute when Taty Castellanos powered home a header after El Hadji Malick Diouf was given too much time to serve the ball. Burnley showed more bite after the break, but the early damage left him with no real margin for error. He still finished with two saves, extending his run to eight Premier League matches with at least two stops. Dubravka will aim to bounce back and put in a cleaner performance during Wednesday's clash against Crystal Palace.

That decisive delivery shifted the game from a tense one goal battle to a controlled performance, and Diouf backed it up with an all around shift, creating two chances while holding his own defensively with one tackle, three interceptions and four clearances.

After the Hammers went two goals clear, he dropped into game management mode, shoring things up with three tackles won, two interceptions and two blocks while helping see the match out.

Impact Castellanos opened his Premier League account in the 26th minute by rising high to hammer home a header from El Hadji Malick Diouf's cross.

That strike held up as the difference, with Burnley unable to find an answer despite pushing harder in the second half. Castellanos finished with just one shot on the day, snapping an zero for 14 drought in the Premier League by being ruthless when his moment arrived.
