When Traffic Takes Center Stage: Palace vs Burnley Delayed Kick-off in the Premier League

Update: Start Time Changed for Palace vs Burnley

A rare disruption in the Premier League as Crystal Palace's home match against Burnley in Round 26 has had its start time postponed.

The game will be played at Selhurst Park, with fans watching a potentially pivotal clash in the race for league position.

Crystal Palace sits 13th with 32 points, while Burnley occupy the relegation zone with 15 points.

The league confirmed the delay will be ten minutes, kicking off at 7:40 pm UK time instead of 7:30 pm.

Officials cited heavy traffic as the reason, causing Burnley's team bus to arrive late at the stadium.

Fans were told to expect a tight, tactical duel with perhaps a touch more drama than expected.

Traffic wins again - Burnley's bus delivered a masterclass in punctuality for all the spectators.

If delays become a tactic, Burnley might finally earn the less-glamorous title of the parking lot team.
