Bournemouth fans are in dreamland right now. A 3-0 victory over Man Utd on Sunday moved them up to fifth place in the EPL table. A win against Crystal Palace would see the Cherries rise into the Champions League spots if Nottingham Forest lose to Tottenham.

Bournemouth will press high up the pitch in a bid to force turnovers in dangerous areas. Palace are also a pressing side, but they are struggling to get wins on the board this season. Oliver Glasner's side will need to be stingier defensively than they were in Saturday's 5-1 defeat by Arsenal.

This promises to be an entertaining encounter between two dynamic sides. Given the form they are in, Bournemouth will be tough to stop.

Tune in to find out who comes out on top on Boxing Day, plus make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action thanks to our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.
