Palace are finding their way now, as Jordon Mutch gets enough space to put in a deep cross. But Wilfried Zaha can't bring it down.

At the other end Wes Hoolahan clips a ball into Bradley Johnson, who needs to be six inches taller to get a head on it.

Bradley Johnson, who scored 15 times from midfield for Norwich last season, let's fly from way. way out and it goes way, way over.

Glenn Murray is so close to giving Palace the lead. Joel Murray nods a ball back across goal, the Norwich defence go to sleep, and Murray pokes it at Ruddy from just three yards out.

There's then an agonising wait as the ball spins around the post.

Jason Puncheon's eyes light up as the ball sits nicely for him on the edge of the Norwich area. But the Palace man lashes his half-volley into a defender.

No goals yet. But plenty huff and puff from both sides. Norwich looking the tidier team.

Yohan Cabaye sends it straight into the arms of Norwich keeper John Ruddy though. Ruddy sends a long clearance to Lewis Grabban, who has Joel Ward tugging his shirt. The referee doesn't want to know, but the linesman is on the spot to award a free-kick.

Norwich's Alex Tettey is in the book for catching Pape Souare, who was coasting towards the Canaries byeline. Palace free-kick in a dangerous position in the left channel...

The result is a Norwich free-kick, which gives Robbie Brady his first chance at a set-piece about 20 yards out. He rifles it left-footed into the wall though.

Norwich City 0-0 Crystal Palace

Speaking of Cabaye, he's on the turf getting some treatment on his foot. The Frenchman went into a full-bloodied 50-50 with Norwich's Steven Whittaker. Both men are seen to be the physio.

Palace have yet to get a foothold at Carrow Road, which means we've not been able to see Yohan Cabaye do his thing in the middle of the park.

The Eagles try to build from the back, but Wilfried Zaha runs it out of play.

The pace has dropped off for the first time, which gives us a moment to tell you that there's also radio commentary available of this game. Just click the audio icon near the top of this page for BBC London 94.9 commentary.

Just seeing more replays of that Glenn Murray challenge on Graham Dorrans. It's borderline dangerous from the Palace man - it's bewildering he wasn't booked though. 

You can't take your eyes off this at the moment. Joel Ward swings in a cross from the right which Jordon Mutch gets back from Glenn Murray - but the shot hits a defender.

Oh it's a great chance for Norwich. Some lovely precision passing puts Steven Whittaker in down the right channel and Lewis Grabban, stretching every he can muster, can only toe it the wrong side of the post.

Mark Adamoulas:  I fancy AFCB & Norwich both to stay up. Watford, great championship team. Not sure they've got what it takes for PL  

Palace's Glenn Murray has caused a bit of argy-bargy. The striker has flown in on Graham Dorrans. He gets a talking to, but nothing else. The studs were up a tad - he's a fortunate boy.

Palace mess up a clearance and give it to dangerman Wes Hoolahan. Jonny Howson puts in a low cross which Lewis Grabban clips around the post - but the striker was offside anyway.

Jordon Mutch finds a bit of early space for Palace and bursts forward. He puts Glenn Murray into space but the striker can't collect it.

And then straight at the other end Graham Dorrans lashes one over the corner of the bar from 20 yards.

Bright start.

The Canaries get us under way and the Premier League is go for Norwich and Palace.

Ever wondered how many games your team have played during your lifetime? Goals scored? Trophies won? Managers employed?

BBC Sport's new feature My Premier League Life allows fans to discover all of this and more about their favourite current Premier League club.

Here's what Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew's might look like:

Crystal Palace won 2-1 at Torquay United in their first match after Alan was born in July 1961. 

Back then the south London club were in the old Third Division, but they've been on the up ever since, winning 11 of their 12 trophies and promotions to date. 

Palace have played 2,709 matches since Alan came into the world, winning 984 of them. 

How many more will they win next season, with Pardew, who made 128 league appearances for the club between 1987 and 1991, in charge from the start this time round?
