Crystal Palace
Palace are tough to score against in front of their own fans at Selhurst Park, though they don't create a great deal themselves.
Away
AFC Bournemouth
A solid mid-table side. Bournemouth are hard to break down on the road at Selhurst Park, but chances can be scarce at the other end too.

A missing key player can change this more than any other factor, so wait for them.
