Listen to Football...Only Bettor Sunday preview
Palace can consider themselves unlucky to have lost at Anfield last weekend, carving out five big chances and coming out on top in every statistic besides the only one that matters.
They won 55% of the ground duels and registered 14 shots to Liverpool's nine. The Eagles won the most corners. They were the better team.
Factor in too a four-game unbeaten run prior and Oliver Glasner's men should give a good account of themselves on the South Coast.
The Cherries are unbeaten in 14, but their volume of draws has to be acknowledged. All told, they have shared the points in 47% of their league fixtures this term. Another one here offers up 31/104.10
Back Jimenez to keep fouling
Three different Palace players had multiple shots on target against Liverpool and of that trio Jean-Philippe Mateta demands attention for how early he is making an impact. Fifteen of his last 18 efforts have been undertaken before the break. Over two first half shots at Dean Court tempts at 17/102.70.
Brennan Johnson also impressed on Merseyside and this time out he comes up against Alex Jimenez, a player who always has a card in him. The Spanish full-back has been booked in half of his last 10 starts.
It's his consistent fouling though that jumps out, the 20-year-old committing multiple misdemeanours in nine of his last 14 starts.
Back Jimenez to commit 2 or more fouls

Only two teams have accrued more points at home than United this season while Liverpool's away record in 2025/26 is hardly great, picking up just 1.2 points per game.
If the hosts are to pull off a first league double over their historic rivals in a decade don't expect any early drama.
Only two of their last 25 league strikes have been converted inside the opening half an hour. Second half most goals is the way to go at 1/12.00 especially as it's a bet that would have landed in five out of their last seven meetings.
Home soil = Shots fired
Both sides have averaged 15.5 shots per 90 in 2025/26 so it's fair to expect plenty of chances created. This leads us not to the usual suspects of Bruno Fernandes or Mo Salah, but instead Casemiro.
The departing Brazilian clearly has a greater license to roam forward at Old Trafford, as illustrated by him firing 2.8 shots per 90 across his last five home games. His last five away has harvested just 0.4.
With the last 10 clashes between these sides producing five cautions per 90, foul-counts are also in play. Cody Gakpo has committed misdemeanours every 30 minutes since the beginning of April so he gets the nod.
As for drawing fouls, Ibrahima Konate is generously priced at 13/82.63 to be on the receiving end of two or more, given that threshold has been reached in each of his last two outings.
Back Casemiro to have 2 or more shots, Gakpo to commit 2 or more fouls, and Konate to draw 2 or more fouls

Defeat in the Midlands could leave Spurs five points adrift of safety with three to play. How they respond to that immense pressure will go a long way to determining this fixture that remarkably was last drawn in 2012.
Villa have had the better of it in recent years - prevailing 2-1 in both their encounters this term, one in the cup - but an underwhelming loss at Fulham last weekend suggests their propensity to blow hot and cold is going to last until this season's conclusion.
From a results perspective, this is a tricky one to call but BTTS at 4/71.57 is a decent Bet Builder add. The Villans tend to score on home soil while Spurs simply have to.
Martinez to save the day
With Xavi Simons out, and Dominic Solanke a doubt, much attacking impetus rests on Richarlison who encouragingly has registered most (59%) of his shots on target away from North London this term. The Brazilian racked up two SOT away at Sunderland and four at Anfield in recent weeks and is 4/15.00 to have one or more in each half this Sunday.
At the other end, with nine goal involvements in his last eight outings, Ollie Watkins has to be fancied. No Premier League player has scored more since the start of December and he is 6/52.20 to score or assist.
If the Villa man has hit a rich vein of form of late so too has Emi Martinez in nets, largely out of necessity. The Argentine stopper has pulled off 4.3 saves per 90 across his last three outings as his defenders toil.
With Spurs desperate for the points he could be kept busy again.
Back Aston Villa keeper to make 4 or more saves
