Bournemouth enjoyed another famous day at Old Trafford on Sunday, recording a second successive 3-0 win on the road against Man United.
It has been an excellent start to the Premier League season for the Cherries, and huge credit must be given to Andoni Iraola. Bournemouth come into the Boxing Day round sitting fifth in the standings, and they could end the day in the top four.
Crystal Palace will be chasing a response on the road after suffering a humbling 5-1 loss at the hands of Arsenal on Saturday. However, they had taken four points from their previous two matches before that loss.
