Crystal Palace and Bournemouth return to action in the English Premier League when they lock horns at Selhurst Park on Saturday. Bournemouth head into the weekend unbeaten in their last four games against the Eagles and will be looking to extend this impressive run.
Crystal Palace suffered their first competitive defeat since mid-April as they were beaten 2-1 by Everton in their last outing before the international break.
Prior to that, Oliver Glasner’s men had remained unbeaten in 19 games (excluding friendlies), a club record run that spanned six months. During that period, Palace clinched the FA Cup, their first major trophy, and the Community Shield against Liverpool on Aug. 10.
Crystal Palace have won three of their seven Premier League matches, while losing once and drawing thrice. They have collected 12 points and sit sixth in the league standings.
