    Josh King

    Bournemouth open the scoring with a well-crafted goal.

    Crystal Palace v Bournemouth (15:00 BST)

    John Roder
    Match of the Day commentator at Selhurst Park

    "Crystal Palace and Bournemouth recorded their first wins of the new season in the League Cup in midweek, but both are in desperate need of a first Premier League victory.

    "If you include last season, as the stats show, neither team are in the best of form. Christian Benteke, with 51 goals in his 118 Premier League games, will give Palace added firepower, but as Damien Delaney pointed out, Benteke's arrival will not solve all of Palace's problems.

    "I was at Selhurst Park back in February for Match of the Day to see Bournemouth come from behind for a 2-1 win.

    "Three goals would be nice again, but I'm sure both Alan Pardew and Eddie Howe would settle for a 1-0 result in their favour."

    It's been a winless league start for both these sides but they did manage to navigate potentially tricky EFL Cup ties against League Two opposition in the week.

    Palace, featuring £27m man Benteke, beat Blackpool 2-0 while the Cherries registered a 2-1 win at Morecambe.

    Benteke has scored on his Premier League debuts for both Aston Villa and Liverpool.
