If you'd told even the most optimistic Crystal Palace or Bournemouth fan that their teams would be sitting 6th and 4th respectively after seven games, they'd have bitten your hand off. But the Premier League table doesn't lie, and both sides have thoroughly impressed during the early part of the season.

The Eagles only lost their unbeaten record in the 93rd minute in the previous game, as Everton snatched a late winner. Yet they were arguably the better side and could have had a more comfortable cushion had they taken their opportunities in the opening 45 minutes. Oliver Glasner arrives at this one with few injury concerns and will likely name an unchanged side as they return to Selhurst.

Meanwhile, over on the South Coast, the Cherries have been impeccable since their opening-day defeat to Liverpool. This represents arguably their toughest test since that date, and they will be hoping that Antoine Semenyo can continue his destructive form.
