Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace, LIVE: Eddie Howe's struggling side hope to climb out the relegation zone against high-flying Eagles on the south coast

Bournemouth host Crystal Palace this evening at the Vitality Stadium in what will be the BBC's first broadcast of Premier League action since its inception in 1992.

The hosts are battling for Premier League survival and will welcome back a host of players who have missed most of the season through injury. But one notable absentee is contract rebel Ryan Fraser, who will leave the club when his deal expires at the end of the month.

Roy Hodgson's men had won three games in a row before the break - and may even be aiming higher than their current 11th place with teams around them having dropped points already.
