Bournemouth have a chance to move up to sixth in the Premier League as they host Crystal Palace.
The Cherries are dreaming of qualifying for European football for the first time and can take a big step towards that aim by beating a Palace side that won the first leg of their Conference League semi-final with Shakhtar Donetsk 3-1 on Thursday.
With the return leg perhaps taking precedence for Palace boss Oliver Glasner, the visit of the Eagles offers a huge opportunity to Andoni Iraola’s hosts, who will look to take full advantage of Brighton and Hove Albion’s 3-1 loss to Newcastle United, which has given them the chance to leapfrog the Seagulls and Brentford into sixth.
