But you are an eternal pessimist. At least when it comes to Palace anyway. You’ve insisted we’re getting relegated just about every season since we got promoted.

I’m going for a 1-0 Palace win. Come on you Palace!

How do we have injuries?!

With Sakho and Cahill and CB I'm confident still.

2-0 to Palace!

On a side note, wouldn't mind us trying to sign Fraser but I'm sure he has his eyes set on a 'bigger' club.

TBF even an optimist is permitted to fear a defeat.

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

Ayew will score- a premonition - whilst wearing a pair of shorts at least one size too big

Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978

It's really hard to read as we will not have the pressure that Bournemouth are under but how that will effect the game is anyone's guess. So my guess is that having had a bit of a rest Wilf comes out and plays a worldy, Bentenke without the pressure of a crowd scores and we stroll out 3-1 winners with their goal coming from Sakho attempting to dribble past three players.

Of course given it is the Beebs first ever PL live game it'll probably end up a 0-0 bore draw.

Their only win against us in the last seven games was due to Sakho stupidly hanging his arm out with Three minutes to go at their ground October 2018 to gift them a pen, their only other win against us since their promotion was at Selhurst 2016 when Pardew was in charge and Zaha was fouled sixteen times! in order to stop us and the headline was that we needed someone to just flipping score the opportunities we made ....very familiar stuff, we won't lose this game.
