Crystal Palace will welcome Bournemouth to Selhurst Park this weekend, with both sides hoping to end the season on a high over the last three matches and lay a platform to build on for next season. The hosts are 12th with their opponents two places below them.  Palace are currently two points behind Chelsea in eleventh but come into this game having lost their last league fixture 1-0 to Tottenham. That took their recent record to three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches. Palace's home record this season has been inconsistent, with six wins, six draws, and five losses in 17 matches on their home patch, though they do come into this match unbeaten in their last three home matches, winning two and drawing one. 

Meanwhile, following a few crucial results in recent weeks, Bournemouth have pulled themselves clear of the relegation zone and needs just one point in their final three matches to guarantee their Premier League survival. The visitors currently sit in 14th place in the league, just one point below their opponents, and a win in this match could take them as high as 12th if other results go their way. Bournemouth lost their last match 3-1 against Chelsea, which was just their second loss in their last six matches, while the other four were all wins. While their away record this season isn't great, with five wins, two draws, and ten losses, Bournemouth are on a three-match win streak in away matches, scoring five and conceding two in that time. The visitors have been beaten by Palace in their last four games against them.
