Bournemouth aim to break their club points record when they host Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon.
The Cherries have never finished above ninth or won more than 56 points in the Premier League. Currently on a 14-match unbeaten run, they need just one more win to reach a record 57 points. That said, they must overcome their habit of letting leads slip late in games. Bournemouth have the league’s worst points differential (-3) for goals scored or conceded after the 90th minute.
Bournemouth team news
Andoni Iraola confirmed that Justin Kluivert is progressing well after surgery on a knee injury. He has returned to training, but Sunday’s fixture arrives too early for the winger. Lewis Cook is also ruled out as he continues to recover from a thigh problem. In his absence, Alex Scott is expected to continue his partnership with Ryan Christie in midfield.
Marcos Senesi remains a vital creative outlet from central defence for the hosts. He leads the Premier League for line-breaking passes into the final third this season. Teenage forward Eli Junior Kroupi is set to retain his place behind Evanilson. Bournemouth have given more minutes to teenagers (2,602) than any other side this term. Junior Kroupi is responsible for more than half of those minutes, with 1,385.
