Team News: Andre Gray dropped to Burnley bench

Burnley drop Andre Gray to the bench for their Premier League clash with Crystal Palace, who welcome Andros Townsend back into their starting XI as one of three changes.

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has dropped Andre Gray to the bench for his side's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace at Turf Moor this afternoon.

Gray had returned from a recent four-match ban against Manchester United last time out, but Dyche has switched back to a single striker for today's match, with Sam Vokes leading the line alone.

Gray is replaced in the starting XI by the returning Steven Defour, who has overcome a hamstring injury to feature as one of two changes for the Clarets.

The other sees Jon Flanagan handed a first Premier League start for the club, filling in at left-back for the injured Stephen Ward.

Palace, meanwhile, make three changes to their side, including a return to the starting XI for Andros Townsend after he was left out against Liverpool last weekend.

Alan Pardew also welcomes Jason Puncheon and Damien Delaney back into the side, with James Tomkins, Joe Ledley and Lee Chung-yong all dropping to the bench.

Burnley: Heaton; Lowton, Keane, Mee, Flanagan; Arfield, Hendrick, Defour, Marney, Gudmundsson; Vokes
Subs: Gray, Kightly, Boyd, Bamford, Robinson, Tarkowski, Barnes

Crystal Palace: Mandanda; Ward, Dann, Delaney, Kelly; Cabaye, McArthur, Puncheon, Townsend, Zaha; Benteke
Subs: Hennessey, Fryers, Tomkins, Flamini, Ledley, Lee, Wickham
