Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against a variety of guests.
This week, he takes on Eats Everything, aka DJ and producer Daniel Pearce.
Sutton's prediction: 2-1
I am not going to overthink this one.
Until they lost to Arsenal twice last week, Crystal Palace were showing signs of improvement, but Bournemouth have been brilliant.
Andoni Iraola's side thoroughly deserved to beat Manchester United on Sunday. They always create loads of chances and, at the moment, they are taking them.
Eats Everything's prediction: 2-1
Bournemouth are absolutely on fire - as United found out on Sunday, unfortunately. I love Antoine Semenyo, who is an ex-Bristol City player and is absolute dynamite, but the whole team just look really solid and play amazing football.
Palace have started to kick on a bit now too, and Oliver Glasner is doing a good job there, but I'm definitely going with Bournemouth here.

There is such a big difference between being at home on Boxing Day versus being away because, depending on what your manager is like, if you've got an away game there is a chance you're training on Christmas Day.
Some of the toughest times I had was when we had away games on Boxing Day and we had to come in to train at four or five on Christmas. That's when everything is just starting at home and everyone is really enjoying themselves and you have to leave.
If you lose you are sat in the hotel having walked away from friends and family all for no points. It's not the best feeling and as a consequence you bring home some of that disappointment with you.
But, in reality, you just know it is the busiest time of the year. The floodlights are always on for the games, the conditions get that little bit tougher, you've got games it feels like every three or four days.
I think it's an exciting part of the season because you can gain real, significant momentum but ultimately it comes down to are you winning games.
I think the Christmas period itself can be tough if you have got family but in reality it always feels nicer when you get that win on Boxing Day. The atmosphere in the stadiums is a little bit different, the atmosphere among the players is a bit different.
You're very thankful to get the chance to do what you do, but if you end up losing on Boxing Day or around that spell it is rubbish because it almost feels like it was a waste of time with all the efforts you put in.
But, I get it. The fans love it, there is a lot of clamour around it. You lose track of days just like everyone else does after Christmas and before New Year but it is great to play in front of those types of crowds and it just does feel different playing during that week or two.

Image source, Getty ImagesIf there has been any significant change in 2024, it has been the arrival of Oliver Glasner and his coaching staff.
Like many other clubs, Crystal Palace have the habit of drifting from one existential crisis to another - real or imagined. Yet, while Glasner opened his account with a routine 3-0 victory over a soon-to-be relegated Burnley, it took seven weeks and a mid-season training camp for his true impact to be felt.
This brings us to Anfield, the classic underdogs against a daunting Jurgen Klopp and his team, then only three points off the top of the league table.
Into the 13th minute, starting with a throw-in on the right-hand side in the Liverpool half, Glasner's team unfurled a 17-pass move that shifted the ball from right to left, back via defence, and a combination of one-touch passes back down the left flank.
Eventually, the team released Tyrick Mitchell into the area, who cut it back, giving Eberechi Eze a casual goal to score from the edge of the six-yard box. About 40 seconds of pure footballing brilliance.
The Liverpool team were mere spectators for the entire process, and the 1-0 result at full-time was seismic for both title challengers and Palace's new manager.
This moment and result started a run of six wins and a draw to end the 2023-24 season. In many ways, this is the level of performance the team has been seeking ever since, hampered by a questionable summer of recruitment and injury issues.
For Glasner, it clearly established him as a Premier League-worthy manager in the minds of any lingering doubters left frustrated by previous results.
Even now, that hope remains that if you get the right pieces in place, this team could reach the heights the fans desire.

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Thursday's Premier League game against Bournemouth (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Glasner says Eberechi Eze will likely be available for Thursday's match: "It looks like it, he trained today and now we have to wait, but it looks good."
He also confirmed that everyone who was available against Arsenal will also be available against Bournemouth.
On opponents Bournemouth: "They've had a fantastic job from their manager [Andoni Iraola] and I also think the players, alongside Tottenham, they play at the highest intensity. They have so much pace in their attack."
He was asked what the Christmas schedule looks like for his players: "Of course we have to try focus on the games. We'll train tomorrow morning, a bit earlier than usual, and then the players can go home again and celebrate with their families."

Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Crystal Palace and Arsenal.
Here are some of your comments:
Palace fans
Mark: Inevitable. We are carrying too many players who give the ball away cheaply. Plus Arsenal finished their chances and we didn't, unfortunately! We move on with bigger games coming up. We must beat Southampton.
Gary: On a tactical level, we simply didn't learn from Wednesday's defeat. Our midfield was totally dominated and, without Munoz, it was pointless playing a back five.
Gyika: We looked tired and we ended up getting schooled. Individual mistakes cost us dearly. A great finish by Sarr, though - I'm liking him a lot. Hurry back, Munoz, Chalobah and Wharton!
Pedro: I know it is Arsenal, but we just rolled over. We will stay up this season, but it is another season of treading water rather than swimming forward. A massive rethink from the board is needed.
Arsenal fans
Guy: A good win for Arsenal, with confident attacking play and a good range of scorers. We are still too far behind to be challenging for the title, though, and we are still lacking a quality striker. Just because Gabriel Jesus has scored a few against Palace doesn't mean he is clinical enough to lead our line.
Martin: The 5-1 scoreline flattered Arsenal. Palace looked threatening right up until Rice came on and shored the game up. It's going to be a tough run without Saka for a couple of weeks, but Martinelli did well in his position so we should be OK against the opponents we have after Christmas. I hope Jesus scores against teams other than Palace.
Raouf: Arteta's ability to shut games down doesn't get enough attention. At West Ham, we were 5-2 up at half-time and in the second half they were much more solid and didn't give up much. The team were struggling with certain things in this game and he fixed it in the second-half. The formation, with Odegaard and Havertz in midfield, worked well in the first half.
Colin: Arsenal are playing some nice football but I just wish we didn't keep passing back to the goalkeeper so much. I'm sorry, but I'm not very keen on playing out from the back - there are too many mistakes happening.

Listen back to full match commentaries on BBC Sounds:
Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to Sky Sports after the defeat: "In football, sometimes it's crazy. When I compare the performance in the first-half, to [how we played at] the Emirates [in the Carabao Cup], it was far better today. But we were 3-1 down, and over there we had the lead, so it's crazy because I thought we did many things well.
"The first goal was a cross, the second was a set-play and the third was a cross where we don't mark the man. We defended the box terribly and the quality of their players they punished us. If you want to beat a team like Arsenal, everything has to be almost perfect, it was not good enough today.
"We created chances but the result is disappointing. In the box, there were too many times where we watched the players."
On failing to take their chances: "When you concede five goals, it is unlikely you get a point! But yes, at 2-1 down we had a big chance and before they scored a third goal. We had big chances in the second-half, then they scored the fourth and the game was over.
"We lost the belief to come back again, but we gifted them the goals and it's not easy to come back.
"From the first 60 minutes, we can take a lot of positives. We have to defend the box [better] but everything else was one of our best performances. The pressure we gave them, the balls we were winning in possession, how we move the ball and how many chances we created.
"Of course we will learn from it. We have to learn that when you give the top teams a crumb, they take the whole cake!"
Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has been speaking to Premier League Productions about the heavy defeat: "We are disappointed. It's not nice to lose that way. Our heads are down and we have to go again.
"There are moments that we create for ourselves every single game, but today we didn't take them and they did.
"I think tonight it was about both boxes. When we look back on it, we didn't defend well and a top team like Arsenal will punish you.
"We have to go again, look at the areas we can improve on, and take this game with a pinch of salt."
On facing Arsenal's set-piece threat: "We should have done better with the goal they scored when it was two vs two, but we didn't follow our men in the second phase.
"Other than that, I thought we actually dealt with their set-pieces quite well."
Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace conceded five or more goals in a Premier League home match for the just the third time, previously losing 6-1 and 7-0 against Liverpool in August 1994 and December 2020 respectively.
Ismaila Sarr has been involved in six goals in his last six Premier League appearances for Crystal Palace, scoring four and assisting two.

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against a variety of guests.
For week 17, he takes on Reverend & the Makers singer Jon McClure.
Sutton's prediction: 0-1
This is a rematch of Wednesday's Carabao Cup quarter-final, when Arsenal scored from open play. I guess Christmas miracles do happen.
Mikel Arteta's side edged that tie and this game is going to be just as close. Crystal Palace are much improved in recent weeks and have really turned a corner.
I watched the analysis of their win over Brighton on MOTD2 last week, when they were focusing on the Eagles' back three and the consistency of Marc Guehi, Maxence Lacroix and Trevoh Chalobah, who have now played together for the past 12 games.
So this is not going to be easy for the Gunners. I expected them to kick on this season but that has not happened - they have only lost two of their first 16 league games, but they only won half of them.
Arsenal really need a win here, though, and I think they will find a way of getting it.
I am going for a 1-0 victory and it doesn't matter if their goal comes from another set-piece, because they all count. As I've said before, a few other teams would love to carry the same threat they do from corners.
McClure's prediction: 0-1
I am going to go with Arsenal but I don't think they will win by much because I think Palace are playing well. I predict a 1-0 'George Graham style' win, with maybe a Gabriel or William Saliba header from a corner for the winner.
Being serious, though, I think Arsenal's set-piece coach Nicolas Jover does deserve a shout-out because he has fundamentally altered how corners work, which has had quite a profound impact on the game.

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Arsenal (kick-off 17:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Glasner said "we have no one back yet" with the Palace absentee list also including Eberechi Eze, who picked up a knock against Brighton. Eze played with "quite a swollen foot" on Wednesday at Arsenal and "so he is not 100%".
On getting players back for the busy fixture period: "The busy part of the Christmas fixtures is this week. Three games in six days. We then have five days until Bournemouth, one more game on the 29th and then one week to Chelsea.
On playing Arsenal again so soon after the Carabao Cup quarter-final: "We will go for getting a better result than two days ago at Emirates Stadium. We could see the quality of Arsenal, especially in the second half how quickly they can move the ball, make runs and how accurately they can pass through gaps."
Despite the defeat, Glasner felt his side are better for the experience: "We showed the players and talked about it. From these games against the top teams, you can learn a lot. Of course, it hurts when you lose and are out of the cup but its also a big chance to learn and improve. The best chance we can show it now is in three days. I don't expect 30% improvement in those three days but a little bit and then we're looking to get a better result."
He wants to see a confident display from his players: "You have to show it on the pitch. Confidence is also, when you take the lead, not to wait, but to go forward and try to score the second. We scored the first and then we got passive. Then we were 3-1 down, and all of a sudden we play much more forward again and we scored a second. Either we need the lead or being down, so why? Why not always play forward in the same way instead of cautiously - but that's easy to say."
On Palace's plans for the January transfer window: "We're always talking about [recruitment]. Let's see what happens. Of course we are analysing our squad, [seeing] where we can add some skills or where we have just one player in one position, but it's who's available and what makes sense. It's not that we do something just to do something."
