Preview:

Bournemouth, dreaming of triumph in a series of three consecutive contests for the first time ever since 1938, hopes to win a succession of three matches in a row. The Cherries have been one of the Premier League little shocks of the season, in fifth position in the table, undefeated in five matches with four of the five victories. The shape has given them the correct impetus for European selection and they are going to carry that momentum into their own country.

In the meantime, Crystal Palace also looks to resume its winning ways, having lost two matches in a row to Arsenal. Having only four points above the bottom two in the second division and thus in immediate danger of relegation,
Roy Hodgson’s players will look at this match as a real opportunity to dispel the spectre of relegation. Palace’s own tempo invention, as a result,
may well be a formidable statistical challenge to Bournemouth’s swagger at this professional league.

Bournemouth’s ability to score will be determined by the skills and talents of Justin Kluivert, who will be pulling their strings, Milos Kerkez, who will set the pace, and Antoine Semenyo, who will lead the way. For Palace, Ismaïla Sarr and Eberechi Eze are individually key in creating opportunities, while Jean-Philippe Mateta is crucial in capitalising on gaps in Bournemouth’s defensive structure.
