After a 1:1 home draw with West Ham, Bournemouth traveled to visit Manchester United. The team showed themselves wonderfully at Old Trafford in the 17th round of the English championship and achieved a winning result. In this game, the Cherries surprisingly scored three unanswered goals and repeated the result of the away match with MU of the previous campaign. And in the first round this season, Bournemouth have still upset Arsenal, Man City and Tottenham among the top sides. With 28 points, the Cherries are fifth in the EPL table.

Crystal Palace performs much more modest than Bournemouth in the current campaign. The last two matches the team under the leadership of Oliver Glasner held against Arsenal in different tournaments. First, the Eagles at the Emirates in a tense match lost to the team with a score of 2:3 and flew out of the English League Cup. Then the Palace at home arena took the opponent in the 17th round of the EPL and lost even bigger - 1:5. We will highlight that in two matches the defense of Palace failed to cope with Jesus, who scored five goals. With 16 points Crystal Palace is in 16th place in the English championship table.

At this stage of the season, Bournemouth looks one of the best teams in the league, which confirms the position in the table - fifth line. The team is playing quite confidently and effectively. We expect that for the third time in a row the Cherries will upset the Eagles in a personal meeting, as the latter have a lot of mistakes in defense and a weak game in general.
