Crystal Palace vs AFC Bournemouth LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Selhurst Park
Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace face AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Palace have picked up seven points in their three home league games since Roy Hodgson returned to the club (winning two, drawing one), as many as their final eight at Selhurst Park under Patrick Vieira beforehand (winning one, drawing four and losing three). The Eagles have scored six goals in those last three home league games under Hodgson, more than their final nine under Vieira (five).

Kelly has moved out to right-back and Smith is on the right. O'Neil could see that Vina was struggling against the pace and dribbling ability of Olise and took him off. Ouattara is also helping out more defensively.

Palace’s Hodgson has won each of his last three Premier League meetings with Bournemouth; only against Burnley (five from February 2010 to November 2019) and Leicester (six from February 1998 to February 2019) has he ever had a longer winning streak as a manager in the competition.
