Crystal Palace v Bournemouth - preview

Crystal Palace have picked up just one point in their last three league meetings with Bournemouth (W0 D1 L2).

This will be Bournemouth's first visit to play Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park since March 1989 when they went home with a 3-2 win.

Emmanuel Adebayor has scored on his Premier League debut for all three of his previous clubs in the competition - Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.

Only one player has scored on their debut for four different clubs in the Premier League; that player was Darren Bent (Charlton, Sunderland, Aston Villa & Fulham).

Adebayor has scored against 30 of the 35 different opponents that he's faced in the Premier League and this will be the first time he's played against Bournemouth in the competition.

Bournemouth have conceded a league-high 15 goals from set piece situations this season.

The Cherries have seen an opponent sent off on five occasions this season in the Premier League; more often than any other team.

Bournemouth have lost just one of their last six Premier League away games (W2 D3 L1).

Palace are on a four game losing streak in the Premier League - they haven't lost five in a row in the competition since November 2013 (seven in a row).

The Eagles have averaged more points per game away from home under Alan Pardew (1.84) than they have at Selhurst Park (1.23).
