Sunderland haven't looked out of place on the Premier League return and if they can take something from this trip to Crystal Palace it will be another big boost in their bid for survival.
The Black Cats remain odds-on for an instant return to the Championship, despite banking six points from their first three games.
It looks like the Stadium of Light might be their biggest weapon in the battle to stay up, with the Mackems already roaring their side to wins over West Ham and Brentford.
But they lost 1-0 on the road against fellow promoted side Burnley, ruining two tips for the Betting Desk, so their away form will have to improve.
Facing Crystal Palace isn't the easiest of assignments with the Eagles soaring once more Oliver Glasner.
Losing star man Eberechi Eze and failing to spend big in the summer had the potential to derail Glasner's side.
But they've yet to lose in six games this season in all competitions and battered Aston Villa 3-0 in their last outing.
How the bookies view it: Crystal clear favourites
With Crystal Palace starting the season so well, it's no great surprise to see them as BoyleSports' 4/6 favourites. Sunderland are 9/2 outsiders and the draw pays 13/5.
Recent head to head: Black Cats eyeing 2017 repeat
These sides haven't face off since 2017, when Sunderland romped to a 4-0 win on their last visit to Selhurst Park. But it's Palace who have the better record across the last 10 meetings, with four wins, three defeats and three draws.
Players to watch: Mateta the main man
Holding on to star striker Jean-Philippe Mateta was a big boost for Palace and the Frenchman has netted three times already this season. The powerful target man is 5/4 at BoyleSports for anytime scorer and that looks good value.
Wilson Isidor has scored in two of Sunderland's three Premier League games so far and will fancy his chances of keeping that run going. The Frenchman is 7/2 at BoyleSports for another goal here.
Probable line-ups
Palace are sweating on the fitness of key duo Adam Wharton and Ismaila Sarr after they picked up injuries in the win over Villa. Defender Marc Guehi picked up a knock on England duty but recovered in time to score in the 5-0 win over Serbia.
Sunderland have doubts over Luke O'Nien, Dan Ballard, Aji Alese, Romaine Mundle, Leo Fuhr Hjelde and Dennis Cirkin.
Crystal Palace: Henderson, Munoz, Guehi, Lacroix, Richards, Mitchell, Hughes, Lerma, Kamada, Devenny, Mateta.
Sunderland: Roefs, Alderete, Mandava, Mukiele, Hume, Diarra, Sadiki, Xhaka, Talbi, Isidor, Le Fee.
Anything else catch the eye?
Crystal Palace have kept four clean sheets in their six games this season and Sunderland drew a blank on their away day at Burnley.
That suggests an Eagles win to nil could pay off here at 8/5 with BoyleSports while combining BTTS no and under 3.5 goals pays 10/11 at the same firm.
The midfield battle could be tasty and a double on Granit Xhaka and Will Hughes each committing over 1.5 fouls pays 12/5 at Bet365.
