Bournemouth team news
Adam Smith, Luis Sinisterra, Alex Scott, Julian Araujo, Marcos Senesi and Marcus Tavernier are all likely to sit out the upcoming clash due to injuries.
Bournemouth's attacking quartet of Evanilson, Justin Kluivert, Antoine Semenyo, and Dango Ouattara is expected to remain unchanged, as their settled lineup has delivered consistent performances.

Crystal Palace are monitoring the fitness of star forward Eberechi Eze, whose availability remains uncertain.
The return of Munoz from suspension bolsters their options at right wing-back as Palace aims to disrupt Bournemouth's transitions while launching swift counter-attacks of their own.
