After a magnificent win against Spurs last weekend Crystal Palace completed an excellent week when signing Arsenal's French U21 international Yaya Sanogo on loan until the end of the season.
Eagles' boss Alan Pardew must be delighted with the addition to his striking options business and he looks sure to go straight into the squad, if not the starting XI, for the trip to Turf Moor on Saturday.
BetVictor have introduced the loanee at 8/1 to be the Club's top Premier League goalscorer and I am convinced this is too big a price.
Crystal Palace top PL goalscorer prices from BetVictor:
F Campbell (3) 9/4
D Gayle (3) 9/4
M Jedinak (5) 11/4
Y Sanogo (0) 8/1
G Murray (0) 10/1
J Puncheon (2) 10/1
Yes, Sanogo is playing catch-up on the other principles in the market but Arsene Wenger wouldn't have allowed his player to go on loan unless he had received assurances from Pardew that his exciting young talent would get valuable playing time in the Premier League.
He has 17 games to make an impact for the Eagles. At 8/1 he could be a shade over-priced.
Burnley remain 8/11 favourites to be relegated at the end of the season after their own 2-1 win over QPR last weekend with Palace out to 9/4.
The Eagles are now unbeaten in four in all competitions and are 23/10 return from Turf Moor with all three points with the Clarets 29/20 and the draw at 11/5.
None of the last 16 league games between the sides has ended in an away win and Palace haven't won in their last eight PL games on the road so the stats don't exactly scream an away win.
That said, they will have few better opportunities. Sanogo is 7/1 to score the first goal of the game, 13/5 to score at anytime during the 90 minutes and 40/1 to score the only goal of the game on debut at Turf Moor.
I hope I'm not expecting too much from the 21-year-old but I honestly believe this could be an inspired signing by Pardew who has made such an impressive start to his second coming at Selhurst Park.
A debut goal for Sanogo at Burnley and he won't be still 8/1 on Saturday evening that's for sure!
