Eddie Howe does not believe the quality of Crystal Palace begins and ends with Wilfried Zaha.

Bournemouth are preparing for a tough contest as they entertain Palace in the Premier League.

The Monday night game is a critical one for both sides. Howe spoke about Palace's quality and Zaha ahead of the game.

"He is an outstanding player. He did well against us in the two games last year, we found him difficult to deal with," Howe said to Sky Sports.

"From our prospective that is something we will look to improve. As I would say with any team it is not just him.

"Yes we need to deal with, be aware of and you have Andros Townsend on the other wing who has had a good start to the season.

"When [Christian] Benteke plays he is a focal point for them, they have got excellent midfielders, a lot of experience.

"So there are a lot of areas that they manage very well. But of course we have good players the other way. We know if we are at the top of our game we are a match for anyone."
