Bournemouth face Crystal Palace at Vitality Stadium on Jan. 31. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Bournemouth have enjoyed an impressive second season in the Premier League so far. Eddie Howe’s side currently sit 12th in the table on 26 points from 22 games and don’t look to be in danger of getting drawn into a relegation scrap. The Cherries have been especially strong at home, where they’ve taken 18 of their 26 points. They’ll be hoping to continue that trend against a weak Crystal Palace team on Tuesday.
Palace haven’t seen much of an uptick in form since Sam Allardyce replaced Alan Pardew, but they have talent in their team. Christian Benteke is a proven Premier League goal scorer, Yohan Cabaye and Jason Puncheon possess real quality in midfield, while new signing Patrick van Aanholt should add some extra thrust getting forward from full-back.
Palace have struggled for creativity in the absence of Wilfried Zaha, who was away with the Ivory Coast the African Cup of Nations, but he could make his return against Bournemouth. That would be a big boost for a side on a four-game losing streak.

Bournemouth will be the favorites considering their excellent home record, but Palace showed more defensive resilience in their last match against Everton, and have enough quality in the side to do damage. The Cherries aren’t totally out of the relegation battle, but certainly won’t be playing with anywhere near the desperation of Palace, which could make this an interesting contest.
