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:
Crystal Palace vs AFC Bournemouth
Olise has caused the Bournemouth defence a lot of problems. This time he accelerates down the right flank before delivering a low cross into the box that is cleared by Mepham. It was an important interception from the centre-back as Ayew was behind him waiting for an easy finish.

Édouard looks to get involved for the first time since coming on and races forward into the box to get on the end of a pass from Andersen. Neto reads it and claims just inside his area.

OVER! Guehi switches the play from right to left to Olise. The winger takes a brilliant touch and dribbles inside before curling a shot well over.

Palace are forced into their first change. Zaha is injured and is replaced in the attack with Edouard coming on.

The injury to Zaha looked to have come when he was running at Zabarnyi before giving away a free-kick. He tried to continue before going down.
