Match Preview:

Just one loss in their last five games means that Bournemouth will be safe this year. The Cherries are in 10^th place and 9 points ahead of the bottom three and will feel comfortable going into this match. Last weekend they drew 2-2 in a tricky tie at Watford and the week before that they beat West Brom 2-1 at Vitality stadium. The club have scored 8 goals in their last five matches and it will be encouraging to manager Eddie Howe that his side are full of goals, outside the top six only Leicester and Watford have more goals.

With 4 defeats in their past five matches Crystal Palace are on the brink of a relegation dog fight. Roy Hodgson’s side are in 17^th place and the only good news in a month was a win at Huddersfield. They currently hold a two point advantage over Southampton and it is clear that the Eagles will have to start picking up points if they are to survive. Away from home they have lost almost 60% of their games and won just 20%.
