Crystal Palace vs. AFC Bournemouth: Adebayor poised for debut

Emmanuel Adebayor will be looking for a fourth Premier League debut goal when AFC Bournemouth visits his new club Crystal Palace.

Emmanuel Adebayor is in line to make his Crystal Palace debut when AFC Bournemouth visits Selhurst Park on Tuesday, but the Eagles may be without two key midfielders.

Only one of Palace's 24 Premier League goals this season has been scored by a forward, Connor Wickham's strike in its December 19 win at Stoke City.

Manager Alan Pardew has turned to Adebayor in an attempt to solve his striking conundrum, in the hope that the Togo international can recapture the kind of form that has helped him score 96 Premier League goals in 230 games for Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham.
