Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace LIVE!
The three-month Premier League break came at the worst possible time for Crystal Palace. Roy Hodgson's side had won three on the bounce, pushing them up to 11th in the table and, remarkably, just two points off London rivals Tottenham in eighth.
But while Palace were pushing towards a European spot, Eddie Howe and Bournemouth were desperately fighting for Premier League survival - and a win here could prove vital.

Prediction: Bournemouth 0-1 Crystal Palace
Three months is a long time in football, which makes form almost entirely irrelevant when picking the outcome of this fixture.
And while it's an incredibly tight one to call, Bournemouth - particularly if Fraser doesn't play - may struggle here.
I'm expecting a close game, with Palace to nick a win.
