Crystal Palace XI: Speroni, Kelly, Dann, Delaney, Souare, Jedinak, McArthur, Zaha, Puncheon, Bolasie, Murray
Hull City XI: Harper, Chester, Dawson, McShane, Elmohamady, Livermore, Huddlestone, Quinn, Brady, Aluko, N’Doye

Hull come flying out and it requires another wonderful save by Julian Speroni to keep out Dame N'Doye's close-range header. Another glorious chance gone. Are the Tigers going to regret these misses?
Four goals in the six 15:00 BST Premier League kick-offs so far. Steve Bruce is praying for just one.

The half ends with a well-worked Palace move ending in Glenn Murray heading straight at Steve Harper. A ripple of applause from the home fans greets the half-time whistle. They have seen better this season.
Two minutes of added time.
The ball rolls out of play and Steve Bruce grabs it. It provokes some 'banter' from Palace fans. Nothing the Hull City manager has not heard before.
Where would Palace be without Julian Speroni? It's a question that has been posed before and the keeper produces another excellent block well off his line to deny Jake Livermore. Another chance goes begging for Hull.
There's a break in play and Alan Pardew is deep in conversation with Mile Jedinak as the Palace skipper grabs a gulp of water. Pardrew will not be impressed with what he has seen so far.
There's a wall of black shirts at Selhurst Park and Palace are struggling to break it down. Hull, for once, are defending as though their lives depend on it.
Ironic cheers as Palace do finally win a free-kick after Robbie Brady brings down Wilfried Zaha in full flight. Brady comes off worse and needs treatment.
Image source, Getty ImagesMore Palace frustration as appeals for a free-kick are ignored after Glenn Murray crumples to the surface after a challenge by Paul McShane.
Action at both ends as Wilfried Zaha forces Steve Harper to save his powerful effort after shrugging off Robbie Brady before Hull counter only for Sone Aluko to lose his footing as he goes for goal.
The beach, a new apartment in Dubai, a round-the-world trip...what else are Crystal Palace's players thinking about? They're certainly playing as though their minds are elsewhere.
If only Hull City had played like this earlier in the season then they might not be fighting to stay up. There's a lot of grit and determination about Steve Bruce's side today. Someone needs to tell Palace's players this is not a testimonial.
Trent Mohan: This would have been a must-win match for both teams pre-Pardew. What a transformation. Hopefully he doesn't walk out pre-season!
Image source, Getty ImagesIt's all Hull. The Premier League strugglers are really going for it. Tom Huddlestone tries to curl the ball into the far corner from the edge of the area but Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni makes a spectacular save to claw it away.
It's so quiet at Selhurst Park. Palace have done little to give their fans anything to shout about since Glenn Murray's early chance. Hull are enjoying plenty of possession but cannot hurt the hosts.
Aidan Mifsud: The Premier League would be a happier place without Hull and Sunderland.
