After a historic and hard-earned point at Old Trafford, Burnley look to ride into the international break on a positive note Saturday when they face a sputtering Crystal Palace side looking for its defensive footing.Though both sides are on 11 points with identical 3-2-5 records, Palace holds the edge on goal difference. Yet the Clarets are the more in-form team at the moment with four points in their last two games, while the Eagles are trying to stop the rot and avoid a fourth consecutive defeat on the bounce.Burnley are back at Turf Moor after surviving a siege at Manchester United and scraping out a scoreless draw. Former United trainee Tom Heaton withstood a 37-shot barrage -- the most shots attempted by any team in the Premier League era -- and made 11 saves to become the first opponent to post a clean sheet at Old Trafford this season.Everyone put in a great shift leading from the back, defender Michael Keane told Burnleys official website. Against quality players youre going to get a lot of shots against you and Heats was fantastic with that.Obviously the fans and some of the staff and players know us from our time here, but we just had to focus on what was happening on the pitch and I thought that we dealt with it well.Despite the positives of gaining a point, manager Sean Dyche lamented his team didnt press forward with the man advantage it enjoyed the final 22 minutes after Ander Herrera was sent off for his second yellow card. Dyche is trying to instill a killer instinct the Clarets need to stay up for a second straight season.In the Championship we would have stepped all over them but we just looked a little bit unsure, he explained. I just think … when they go down to 10 men you need to smell blood and try and go for the three points, and thats where we need to grow now.While Burnley successfully bunkered down at Old Trafford, Crystal Palace were torn asunder at home by Liverpool 4-2 last weekend. Though James McArthur twice pulled the Eagles level in the first half, the Reds were too fluid with the ball and too precise on set pieces to make those goals count.The result left manager Alan Pardew at a loss considering how good his team usually plays set pieces.It was a very difficult half for us but to concede two set plays is unusual for us and thats something we need to address, he said. Sometimes its difficult on the sideline or in the press box to feel what the players are sensing out there, and some of their play was so quick and fast it got us in a negative mindset.Palace may be relieved to face a Burnley side that has tallied just eight goals -- only last-place Sunderland have fewer -- after shipping seven to Leicester City and Liverpool the last two matches. McArthur, however, feels the team must improve all the way around to get back on track versus Burnley.Its not just the defence (that needs to improve), its all over, he insisted. We need to get better shapes to stop them playing through us. Set pieces are something were usually very good at, so we need to rectify that.Well go there, even though were not on a great run, with a belief that we can get three points.The teams have only met twice in the top flight back in the 2014-15 season. Palace rallied for a 3-2 victory at Burnley as Dwight Gayles goal on 87 minutes completed his brace and a fight back from two goals down. Ben Mee and Danny Ings had staked the Clarets to a 2-0 advantage just after the quarter-hour mark. Stitched Cowboys Jerseys .

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Twins have developed quite the power stroke this summer.The starting pitching and situational hitting are still lagging far behind.Yordano Ventura won consecutive starts for the first time in two months, Kendrys Morales homered in his return from a one-game suspension and the Kansas City Royals beat the Twins 7-3 Friday night despite home runs by Miguel Sano and Brian Dozier.We like the home runs. They play, for sure, manager Paul Molitor said. But we need to find some other ways to score.Sano went deep for the fifth time in the last seven games and Dozier hit a two-run shot, giving Twins starter Kyle Gibson (4-7) a one-run lead he took into the fifth inning. The Royals hit the ball plenty hard, but the softest one made the biggest impact.Salvador Perezs bat broke on a two-strike, two-out, two-run bloop single with the bases loaded the gave the Royals a 4-3 lead. Third baseman Trevor Plouffe awkwardly backpedaled for the slowly rising ball, but it cleared his head and landed in front of diving shortstop Jorge Polanco.Its tough. He hit it into no-mans land, Gibson said.After using eight pitchers, including utility infielder Eduardo Escobar, and giving up 25 runs to Houston while being swept Thursday in a doubleheader, the Twins needed Gibson to go deep into the game. He was removed two batters into the sixth.Its a frustrating day, Gibson said.The right-hander hasnt been able to get in a groove this season. His first-inning ERA is 9.00, and he has recorded quality starts of six innings or more and three runs or fewer only six times in 16 turns. Lefties are hitting .330 in 188 at-bats against him.Ventura (8-9) struck out nine in seven innings, allowing four hits, one walk and three runs, pitching the Royals to their fifth win in the last six games. After posting a 5.15 ERA in the first half, Ventura has a 3.26 ERA after the All-Star break.The Twins have a major league-most 63 home runs in 42 games since June 26, and Dozier leads both leagues in that span with 15 of his 24 homers. Sano has 20 home runs this season, including 16 against right-handers.Itss unfortunate thats been the majority of our output as of late, Molitor said.ddddddddddddEric Hosmer and Raul Mondesi hit RBI doubles for the Royals, and Paulo Orlando combined an RBI single with two lunging catches in center field to take hits from the Twins, who have lost four straight games after winning nine of 12 prior to the streak.The Royals are 6-1 against the Twins this season, with 12 games left between them.
