The Cherries have lost five of their last six Premier League games and might struggle here. They have scored five goals in their last two home games.

Palace, meanwhile, have failed to score in their last two league outings, but given their recent record against Bournemouth, they should score here. Considering the poor form of both teams, though, a draw could ensue.
