On Saturday, two of the Premier League's early season surprise packages, Crystal Palace and AFC Bournemouth, will face off at Selhurst Park.

However, they will have their work cut out against a formidable Bournemouth side.
The Cherries have enjoyed their best-ever start to a top-flight campaign and currently sit fourth in the table. A victory here would be their 100th in the Premier League, and they have already proven their strength on the road with wins at Arsenal and Tottenham this season.
Despite the setback, Crystal Palace's home form has been a fortress, with the team unbeaten in their last nine Premier League games at Selhurst Park. The visitors, meanwhile, are in superb form, unbeaten in their last six league matches.
