Crystal Palace, who lie 11th, are aiming to end a run of three successive home defeats but are buoyed by Saturday's win at Burnley and the prospect of moving as high as fifth with another victory.

AFC Bournemouth are looking to arrest a run of three successive losses and can leapfrog the Eagles with a triumph at Selhurst Park.

Team news

Palace are without defensive trio Gary Cahill, Scott Dann and Joel Ward but Mamadou Sakho is in line for a return.

AFC Bournemouth have no new injury concerns but Joshua King (hamstring) remains a doubt after missing Saturday's trip to Spurs.

Adam Smith could be back in contention after suffering illness at the weekend, while Simon Francis and Philip Billing are back from suspension.

Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha has scored in back-to-back Premier League matches, after a run of 13 without a goal. He last scored in three league matches in a row in February.

Both teams have scored in all four of the Premier League meetings between these sides at Selhurst Park, with 17 goals being produced in total, at an average of 4.3 per match.

AFC Bournemouth are looking for a first Premier League victory in London in six matches, conceding 19 goals in the past five. The Cherries had lost just one of their previous six in the capital prior to this run, winning three.

Five of Harry Wilson's six Premier League goals this season have been scored on the road. The Welshman has netted 56 per cent of AFC Bournemouth's nine away league goals this term.
