Crystal Palace need to move on from their unlucky defeat against Liverpool last time out despite the mental struggle of winning only once in their past nine matches. Roy Hodgson’s side may have received a blessing in disguise though through Christian Benteke’s lack of fitness. The Belgian striker has scored only two goals this season. Someone else having a chance to be the focal point of Palace’s attack could be the difference between survival and relegation. Bournemouth look safe but Eddie Howe remains focused on not letting up until his side’s Premier League status is confirmed. Graham Searles
