Your support makes all the difference.Bournemouth take on Crystal Palace at the Vitality Stadium as two of the Premier League's mid-table staples bid to stake a claim for the top half of the league.
Palace come into the game three points behind the Cherries having ended a run of three straight defeats with a win over Huddersfield and a frustrating goalless draw against Newcastle.
Bournemouth's fast start to the season came to a strange halt at Burnley where they were thrashed 4-0, but Eddie Howe's side can climb up to seventh in the table with all three points tonight.

Ambitious from Patrick Van Aanholt - the left-back tries to thread a ball into the feet of one of Palace's forwards, but it is errant to such an extent that I can't identify who he was trying to find.
74 minutes
Crucial intervention from Jefferson Lerma as Wilfried Zaha tries to break. The Colombian has played quite well in midfield and appears to be adapting well to the Premier League. He has shown he can mix it physically tonight.
Curious. Andros Townsend watches the ball fly over his head out to Joshua King but inexplicably decides to drag back Adam Smith well away from the ball and concede a free-kick 30 yards out.
Ryan Fraser lays it off to Simon Francis but his driven shot is wide of the mark.
77 minutes
Jeffrey Schlupp is Roy Hodgson's first introduction of the evening. A fatigued-looking James McArthur trudges off. Schlupp has moved into midfield, initially at least.
Nathan Ake takes a blow to the nose and Mike Dean swiftly stops play so the Dutch centre-half can receive treatment.
80 minutes
Ake goes off to finish his treatment but is back on as Bournemouth are forced to concede a corner.
Palace are readying another alteration but will look to find a goal from this first.
Played short and it fizzles out. Bizarre decision with plenty of men in the box.
82 minutes
Jordan Ayew is replaced by powerful Norwegian striker Alexander Sørloth. He'll add some height as Palace look for a winner.
83 minutes
What a chance! Ryan Fraser pounces on an error from Patrick Van Aanholt and rushes past a defender, surging through on goal. He draws James Tomkins and plays in Callum Wilson but he can't beat Wayne Hennessey, the Welsh goalkeeper getting a toe to the ball.
Jefferson Lerma fires wide on the follow-up. A superb opening.
84 minutes
Changes from both teams. Junior Stanislas on for Josh King for the hosts; Cheikhou Kouyate on for Max Meyer for Palace.
A great chance for Dan Gosling but Hennessey bats his header away well. But hold on...
