Crystal Palace will want to put their 2-1 defeat at Everton last time out behind them when they welcome Bournemouth to Selhurst Park in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. Indeed, that loss was the first that the Eagles suffered in all competitions this season, and so they will now want to go on another run of positive results.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth fought back from a goal down to beat Fulham at the Vitality Stadium before the international break, with Antoine Semenyo in particular influential. Nonetheless, we are expecting an exciting encounter between two teams with two of the most admired coaches in Oliver Glasner and Andoni Iraola.
