Team News: Christian Benteke makes league debut for Crystal Palace

Christian Benteke has been handed his Premier League debut for Crystal Palace for the visit of Bournemouth this afternoon as both sides look for their first point of the season.

The summer signing from Liverpool joins Connor Wickham up front, while Wilfried Zaha finds himself on the bench having made clear his wishes to leave the club in the face of interest from Tottenham Hotspur.

Elsewhere, Joe Ledley and Wayne Hennessey are replaced by James McArthur and Steve Mandanda in the other two of three changes.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, are unchanged from their 1-0 defeat at West Ham United on Sunday.

Crystal Palace: Mandanda; Ward, Dann, Delaney, Souare; Townsend, McArthur, Cabaye, Puncheon; Benteke, Wickham Subs: Speroni, Tomkins, Kelly, Boateng, Ledley, Lee, Zaha

Bournemouth: Boruc, Smith, Francis, Cook, Daniels, Ibe, Surman, Arter, Fraser, King, Wilson Subs: Federici, Smith, Ake, Gosling, Gradel, Grabban, Afobe
