Iwelumo should be fit

Burnley manager Brian Laws has no major injury concerns ahead of his side's trip to Crystal Palace. Striker Chris Iwelumo has been nursing a hamstring injury but still managed to score a hat-trick against Preston last weekend and play 68 minutes at Middlesbrough in midweek. The summer signing from Wolves will be assessed ahead of the trip to the capital but is expected to be passed fit. The Clarets remain without midfielder Chris McCann as he recovers from a long-term knee injury, but Laws is confident his men can record their first away win of the season. He said: "We'll go to Crystal Palace full of confidence and if we play like we did at Middlesbrough I'll be a happy man."
