Ryan Fraser has 14 Premier League assists this season for Bournemouth; only two players have assisted as many as 14 in a season playing for a club who finished the season in the bottom half - Nolberto Solano in 1999-00 (15, Newcastle) and Muzzy Izzet in 2003-04 (14, Leicester). Fraser is 5.04/1 to score a goal himself.<doc-sep>Vicente Guaita Was very much underused for the opening 44 minutes bar having to claim a couple of crosses. Was denied a clean sheet as Jefferson Lerma's thunderbolt seconds before the interval left him with no chance. Was beaten twice more in the second half, but no blame can be placed on his shoulders. 6 Aaron Wan-Bissaka Up against Ryan Fraser this afternoon and pushed the Cherries winger back in the first-half which was capped off with an assist for Michy Batshuayi to make it 2-0. 7 Martin Kelly Had to be in constant communication with his central defensive partner. Won't be happy at shipping three goals, even if it was with a makeshift centre-back pairing. 5 Joel Ward In an unfamiliar centre-back role with Scott Dann ruled out because of injury. Up against Callum Wilson for much of the opening period and did very well to deny the England international time and space. Did deflect Ibe's effort into the net which made it 3-2. 5 Patrick van Aanholt Recalled following a brief spell out of the side and didn't have the most convincing of starts as he allowed Jordon Ibe to skip past him far too easily. Showed his quality going forward as he got on the scoresheet following a one-two with Zaha. 7 Luka Milivojevic Went close to an opener inside the first five minutes but his spectacular effort came back off the post. Booked for a foul on Wilson in the second half. 6 James McArthur Standard showing from the Scot, full of running and kept things ticking over in midfield. Came close to a goal when his effort was saved by Travers early in the second half. 6 Max Meyer Palace fans got their wish for the German to start and the front four of him, Zaha, Townsend and Batshuayi was certainly an exciting prospect ahead of kick-off. Saw more of the ball in the second half, teeing up Townsend and McArthur, finding pockets of space which was causing trouble for the away side. 7 Andros Townsend Very quiet in the first-half. Almost changed that minutes after the restart as one of his trademark strikes brought out a fine save from Travers. Did get his name on the scoresheet after being teed up by Zaha. 7 Michy Batshuayi Put clean through early on but shot straight at Travers, luckily his blushes were spared as the flag was up for offside. Made amends by breaking the deadlock with a superb acrobatic effort. Having waited ages for a goal at Selhurst Park, another was on its way moments later as he tapped home from Wan-Bissaka's cross. Fade in the second half, but still turned in a fine performance on what is likely to be his farewell appearance. 8 Wilfried Zaha Heavily involved as one would expect, often tried to do too much but played his part in Palace going two up as he delayed releasing the ball before slipping in Wan-Bissaka to square for Batshuayi. Caused the own goal which made it 3-0 as his half length of the pitch sprint saw Travers' save rebound off the unlucky Jack Simpson and into the back of the net. Claimed an assist for van Aanholt to make it 4-2 and then anther for Townsend to make it 5-3. 9 Subs Bakary Sako On for Zaha late on, showed some nice tricks down by the corner flag which drew applause from the home fans. N/A Connor Wickham Replaced Batshuayi late on. N/A Luke Dreher Big moment for the youngster following his injury hell, got the final few minutes.

The Eagles welcome Bournemouth to Selhurst Park this afternoon and centre-back Scott Dann is doubtful for the clash after picking up a slight strain in training on Friday afternoon. "Basically it's the same ones who have been injured for a long time now but we will have to assess Scott Dann tomorrow because he left training today feeling a slight strain so we will have to assess that," Hodgson told reporters at his pre-match press conference when asked for an injury update. "I can't give an update on that. "He's the only one that can possibly be added to the ones we've had for the last few weeks." Presuming Hodgson doesn't take the risk with Dann for a game which has very little riding on it, he will be short of options to replace the 32-year-old. Both Mamadou Sakho and James Tomkins have been ruled out for the remainder of the season, thus leaving Martin Kelly as the only full fit senior central defender. Cheikhou Kouyate has previously operated at the back for West Ham, as has Jairo Riedewald - who hasn't made a single Premier League appearance this season, so highly-rated youngster Sam Woods could get the nod. The 20-year-old was named on the bench against Newcastle United last month, so at the very least could be involved in the mactchday squad once again. Elsewhere, Hodgson indicated Julian Speroni will be denied a chance to start in goal on his farewell to the Palace supporters. Expect Joel Ward to start at left-back once again, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka on the opposite flank. It was a 4-4-2 system against Cardiff City last weekend and that could mean a farewell appearance for loan duo Jordan Ayew and Michy Batshuayi in attack, meaning no Christian Benteke in the starting XI again.

I think had we survived that extra two minutes in the first-half and not been recipient of that wondergoal from Lerma which was incredible. If we had of kept it a 3-0 and started the second half as we did with the intensity we showed I think it would have been an easier game. At 3-1 we gave them hope that they could get goals out there as well. We created some very good opportunities in the first 10 or 15 minutes but didn't take them, so when it got 3-2 the game is on because both teams when they attack were very dangerous. We had an offensive approach as did they. It was a little frustrating to keep getting two goals up and thinking 'here we are now I can sit back and relax, only to see them score again. But it was a very good performance from our side, I am really pleased we have been able to end the season with a home victory and very pleased too that we played some very entertaining football. I'm pretty certain that all of those fans who have stayed right until this moment to show their appreciation to the players that we gave them a nice end to the season and in my opinion it's been a very good season. We've done extremely well, it's been a record number of points in a 38-game season. Anytime we've got 49 points was with four extra games so I think that's something to be proud of. We reached the quarter-final of the FA Cup, had a run in the League Cup, so all in all given the fact we had to battle through injuries all the way through - we don't have the biggest squad in depth like most teams in our neck of the woods. I must say in these last games losing Tomkins, Sakho and then Schlupp. Then this week losing Scott Dann, Cheikhou Kouyate just before the game, losing Jordan Ayew who has done so well, for those guys out there today deserve a massive pat on the back. I'd like in particular to mention Joel Ward and Martin Kelly who I thought today were really good and showed everything which we try to be as a football club and a group of players. I at least would like to pay tribute to them because I know they're not the players who will get the man-of-the match awards. Has Zaha ever played better for you? No he's been terrific and not just now. I thought he was fantastic last week, up at Newcastle, very good at Arsenal. He's had a very good end to the season, playing like the Wilf Zaha he can be. With a two-goal margin I was thinking they can't score two in the last five minutes if I take him off. Because I wanted him to come off and get that extra applause because he really deserved that today. But just as I was planning it he lost the ball by mis-controlling it and put them on the attack and they almost scored from it. I was a bit worried people were going to think he'd been taken off because I'd seen him make a mistake. I didn't want that to happen either, luckily I hung on for another minute and he went on another splendid run, got the crowd on their feet and I was able to take him off. Signing Batshuayi permanently? Conviction didn't need strengthening it's just not in our hands. That's the thing, when players belong to another club you can say 'we would like him' but then there has to be an agreement struck between the two clubs. But I do know Michy Batshuayi has been happy with us here, I think that's shown in his football. It's been obvious that we appreciate him. I took him out of the team for a while because I was a bit unsure with these loan players who are maybe not going to be with us next year and maybe favoured a player who is maybe going to be here next year. Another one who should be mentioned is Christian Benteke, he didn't feature today because of the cheekbone fracture he picked up in the game here against Everton. He's been brave, trained these last three or four days with a mask, not needing to risk it today. That's another injury we've had to deal with. Club record fee to sign Batshuayi? I don't know what the club's thoughts are going to be there. We haven't spent club record fees, we've spent £15-16m in the two years I have been at the club. They've spent money in the past, but if you take the two seasons I've been here we've spent probably around 15 million. Possibly a bit less, so I don't know our club record fees. Affected by Chelsea's transfer ban? We don't know. All I know is if Michy Batshuayi is going to be available and if our club could bring him here; either on loan again or buying him I would be very happy with that and I know Michy himself would be happy. But again, we are talking about things that are totally out of our control. What Chelsea's thinking on the subject is I couldn't possibly begin to imagine or to speculate on. I suppose the question with regard to him and his future will have to be posed to Chelsea. His second goal We've actually created quite a few chances like that throughout the season but funnily enough they're going into the back of the net or they're producing saves from the goalkeeper. Apart from the five goals I thought the ball was going to hit the back of the net at least four or five more times because of good moves. It's the type of thing the players work hard on in training; the combinations in and around the penalty area and today we got our reward for that.<doc-sep>
Crystal Palace v Bournemouth Sunday, 15:00 Palace looking for rare home win It's sometimes hard to get a handle on Crystal Palace. Judged on away form, they deserve to be a top eight team. In fact, only Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham have won more road games. But, at Selhurst Park, they have home form more akin to a relegation side - just four wins, five draws and nine defeats. They'll hang on to 12th place if avoiding defeat to 13th-placed Bournemouth and could even nick 11th if West Ham lose at Watford. Cherries have sorted away form At one point this season, Bournemouth suffered 10 straight away defeats. That run ruined their chances of a top half finish after they'd started the season so brightly but they've rallied in recent weeks. A 2-0 win at Bournemouth snapped the streak and, after a 2-0 loss at Leicester, they've followed it with a 5-0 hammering of Brighton and a 3-3 draw against south coast derby rivals Southampton. A last-gasp home win over nine-man Tottenham made it seven points from their last four matches so they're ending the season on a good note. Palace odds-on Despite their stuttering home form, Crystal Palace are just 1.9310/11 to bank all three points. Bournemouth are 3.953/1 to return south with the victory while The Draw is the outsider of three at 4.216/5. It's uncomfortable taking the hosts at odds-on and, as well as their woeful home form this season, history may further put potential Palace backers off. Roy Hodgson's side have won just one of their last seven meetings with Bournemouth and the visitors are unbeaten in their last three visits to Selhurst Park. Goals could be on the menu Palace have scored only 14 home goals this season but Bournemouth have conceded 40 on the road so this should be a good opportunity for the home side to give their fans some overdue roars. Eddie Howe's side have also smashed in eight goals in their last two away games - two more than they had in their previous 11 on the road. However, the goals quotes are against us here as Over 2.5 is 1.68/13. In all honesty, many will get on board Unders at 2.68/5 but I think the net will bulge frequently so will play goals a different way and head to the scorers markets in the Same Game Multi. Palace do get plenty of shots off at home but their average of 19.8 attempts per goal scored is second worst to Huddersfield. Perhaps the end-of-term feel will relax them a little when those opportunities arise. Same Game Multi Callum Wilson has scored four goals in his last four road games and his return from nearly two months out has had a hugely positive effect on Bournemouth's away form. I'll play him as a single to score anytime at 6/4 but also make him part of a Same Game Multi. For Crystal Palace, the 4/1 about Andros Townsend looks big. He said last week his form had been a little off but is coming back and he showed it with a superb strike against Cardiff. The last time he scored in an away game, he followed it with a home strike the week after so hopefully he can repeat the feat with his confidence back up. I also like a stalemate so, when combined, the Draw, Wilson to score and Townsend to score comes out a juicy 47.92 on the Same Game Multi. It's final day so let's try and end on a big high! Opta Stat Crystal Palace have won just 17 points in home games this season, compared to 29 away from home. If they lose this game, it will be the biggest difference between points won away compared to at home over a single top-flight campaign (12, adjusted to three points for a win all-time).
