Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace Predictions: Bournemouth Line-up

Bournemouth travel to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace, as Eddie Howe aims to finish the season on a strong note.

The Cherries have disappointed in the past couple of months or so, failing to consistently earn positive results. They once looked certain to earn a top eight finish, but are set to finish in the bottom half of the table.

Just like Bournemouth, Palace have also endured a highly inconsistent campaign, with just a point separating both the teams.

Team News

Bournemouth have a long list of injuries, with the likes of Dan Gosling, Dominic Solanke, David Brooks, Andrew Surman, Charlie Daniels, Lewis Cook, Simon Francis, Diego Rico and junior Stanislas all out injured.

Probable Bournemouth XI

Formation: 4-4-1-1

Manager: Eddie Howe

Mark Travers (GK)

Travers enjoyed an excellent debut for Bournemouth, keeping a clean sheet in the victory over Spurs at the weekend. He is likely to start again on Sunday.

Adam Smith (RB)

Smith has had the best of seasons in the Premier League, suffering with poor form and spells on the treatment table. He will keep his place in the team against Palace.

Steve Cook (CB)

Cook was rock-solid in the last game and he’ll look to replicate something similar at Selhurst Park.

Jake Simpson (CB)

Simpson did well alongside Cook in central defence, as he helped the Cherries keep a clean sheet against Spurs.

Nathaniel Clyne (LB)

Clyne is a right-back by trade, but he has done well on the other side of the defence.

Ryan Fraser (RM)

Fraser has enjoyed a brilliant season in Bournemouth colours and deserves to keep his place in the team.

Jefferson Lerma (CM)

Lerma has protected the back four well throughout the season, adding lot of strength and power in the engine room.

Nathan Ake (CM)

Easily among Bournemouth’s best players this season, Ake has been a rock at the back but he could find himself in midfield for the second consecutive game.

Jordan Ibe (LM)

Talented but highly inconsistent, Ibe will look to deliver a strong performance to end the season on a positive note.

Joshua King (SS)

King has been a regular fixture this season and will start just behind the main striker on Sunday.

Callum Wilson (ST)

With 14 goals and nine assists, Wilson is the Cherries’ biggest asset going forward. He’ll look to add to his tally when Howe’s side face the Eagles at the weekend.
