Ahead of Crystal Palace's clash with AFC Bournemouth tomorrow, Eagles manager Roy Hodgson has issued a warning regarding the Cherries and their form before the suspension.
Bournemouth are currently 18th in the Premier League on 27 points, and lost to a 10-man Palace in December.
But, looking at a demanding run of nine upcoming fixtures, Hodgson reminded supporters of the Cherries' poor fortune and the calibre of all teams in the top flight.
"[Eddie Howe] had a lot of injuries," the manager said.
