Crystal Palace v West Bromwich Albion: match preview

On paper this game between two of last season’s three lowest scoring sides may suggest a shortage of goals but their most recent meeting, at The Hawthorns in February, was a 3-2 classic. Yannick Bolasie looks to be on his way out of Palace but Alan Pardew expects him to be involved here, while Saido Berahino is in the visitors’ squad despite a chance he will move to Selhurst Park.
