Roy Hodgson explained his Crystal Palace team selection to face Burnley pre-match with Sky Sports, describing his three changes as "refreshing the team."
The manager has tweaked Palace's lineup since facing Leeds United, bringing Cheikhou Kouyate, Christian Benteke and Michy Batshuayi into the side ahead of Gary Cahill, Tyrick Mitchell and Jean-Phillipe Mateta.
He elaborated on the changes, saying: "Cheikh's been out of the team for a couple of games, pretty much undeservedly you have to say in terms of his performances, so I’m bringing him back in.
