Crystal Palace return to Selhurst Park on Saturday and will be aiming to bounce back immediately from the first defeat of their season.
A heartbreaking 93rd-minute goal against Everton before the international break ended their incredible 19-match unbeaten streak. Therefore, manager Oliver Glasner will be demanding a strong response from his players.
The Eagles should be confident of getting a result in front of their home fans. Selhurst Park has become a fortress, as they are unbeaten in their last nine Premier League games there. To secure a victory, however, they must solve a recent problem against their opponents. Remarkably, Palace have failed to score in any of their last four meetings with Bournemouth.
Crystal Palace Team News
Oliver Glasner has a relatively settled team and will likely stick with the core of the side that has performed so well this season. He remains without his long-term absentee in midfield, Cheick Doucouré. Furthermore, Glasner has confirmed that defender Chadi Riad is not yet ready to return and needs a couple more weeks to recover.
On a more positive note, Adam Wharton returns fresh from the international break to anchor the midfield. Goalkeeper Dean Henderson will also be a key figure. His ‘goals prevented’ tally of 2.9 is currently the highest of any keeper in the Premier League this season.
