Bournemouth Host Crystal Palace in Premier League Games Clash at Vitality Stadium
Bournemouth host Crystal Palace in premier league games at the Vitality Stadium on 3 May 2026 at 14:00, with the hosts seventh and Palace 13th. Bournemouth arrive with momentum from successive away wins at Arsenal and Newcastle, while Crystal Palace have been trying to steady themselves after a 3-1 loss at Liverpool and a Conference League setback against Fiorentina.
Vitality Stadium at 14:00
The match will be shown on Sky Sports+, which holds the UK rights to live Premier League coverage. For supporters tracking the table, Bournemouth begin the day in seventh and Palace sit 13th, leaving the hosts in position to widen the gap between the sides late in the season.
Bournemouth’s recent league form has been built on control as much as results. They have lost only one of their last five league outings, and their last league defeat came in mid-March. Over their last five Premier League matches, they have posted two wins and three draws, scored seven goals and conceded six, and their most recent outing finished 2-2 at home to Leeds.
Injuries Shape Both Sides
Andoni Iraola’s side will be without Lewis Cook, Justin Kluivert and Julio Soler because of injury. No suspended players are listed for either club, and neither Bournemouth nor Crystal Palace have announced a likely starting XI.
Oliver Glasner’s squad also carries a heavy injury list. Palace will be missing Cheick Doucoure, Christian Kporha, Eddie Nketiah and Eliezer Guessand, a problem for a side that lifted the FA Cup in 2025 and remains competitive in the Conference League.
Eli Junior Kroupi Watches On
Eli Junior Kroupi has been one of Bournemouth’s standout stories this campaign, and Manchester City are among the clubs monitoring him ahead of the summer window. That backdrop sits behind a match Bournemouth need to manage carefully, especially with the season entering its final stretch and Palace still balancing league and European demands.
For supporters, the practical points are straightforward: the game starts at 14:00 on 3 May 2026, it is at the Vitality Stadium, and it will be available on Sky Sports+. The table position, recent form and injury lists all point to a meeting shaped as much by who is unavailable as by who is on the pitch.
