West Brom have made a change at half-time. And it does little to suggest that attack is on their mind. Midfielder Craig Gardner is on for striker Saido Berahino. Hmm.

Well Greg, we're about to find out if the Baggies' approach does end in defeat. The teams are on their way out for the second half.

"Albion have been resolute and determined but Tony Pulis will be scratching his head wondering where they will get a goal from.

"Palace look more likely, but they have been unable to get a clear chance and their shots have been weak.

"It is an interesting game, there has been a lack of ambition from West Brom, they their tactics have worked and they will be happy not to have conceded.

"Palace are more exciting from wide positions but they have not made the correct decision at times. If their tempo stays like this in the second-half and West Brom sit back then surely they will create a goal."

A frustrating half for Palace, who have been the better side and had a number of chances, but either fluffed them or found Boaz Myhill in good form between the sticks. West Brom have barely been Palace's half. I'm not sure they can survive another 45 minutes like that.

West Brom have the final chance of the half as James Morrison wins the ball in the Palace box and sets up James McClean, but his shot is blocked.

Wilfried Zaha is a frustrated man. He has the beating of Chris Brunt every time, except when the Baggies man fouls him, which he has just done courtesy of a clear shove. The referee gives nothing, though.

"All the attack is coming from Palace, they have had at least seven goal efforts, but West Brom are resisting superbly.

"At the moment Alan Pardew will be the more relaxed of the two manager but he needs break through."

Darren Fletcher is down in the box. Tony Pulis' arms are up. They both think it should be a penalty for West Brom for a foul by Brede Hangeland. Jonathan Moss doesn't. In fact, he has a chat with Morrison, no doubt reminding him who is in charge.

We are into the final five minuets of this half. A half that has seen plenty of promise from Palace but no end product.

Wilfried Zaha has another chance but again does everything right until the finish. He beats Chris Brunt again down the right before cutting inside and firing on goal, but Boaz Myhill's diving save denies him.

"Albion resisting well at this stage, attacking coming from wide positions of Zaha and Bolasie, 

"They are sitting slightly deeper than the opposition, but away from home to be drawing after half an hour you would consider that satisfactory."

Wilfried Zaha has looks as likely as anyone to opening the scoring. He cuts in from the right, into the box, and beats Chris Brunt before firing towards the near post. Boaz Myhill is alert, though, and palms the ball behind. It brings Palace a corner, but in keeping with the half so far, they make nothing of it.

Soon after, Jason Puncheon fires a rising drive wide and high after turning his marker on the edge of the box.

The final ball is not quite there for Palace. They have been the more positive side and found themselves in some good positions in and around the box but haven't yet been able to capitalise.

Dwight Gayle looks to pull a fast one on referee Jonathan Moss by falling way too easily in the box under a legal challenge from James Chester. Moss isn't fooled.

Oh, that is a better hit from Yohan Cabaye, who takes the ball down off his chest and strikes a swerving, dipping effort that Boaz Myhill has to palm down before gathering. That's more like it.

A good spell of Palace pressure sees a couple of crosses swung in and desperately headed clear before Yohan Cabaye strikes a tame shot wide.

Chris Brunt is back on, his nose cleaned up. He probably won't look too pretty in the morning, though.

"Jonny Evans going off injured is a setback, they will have to reorganise the back four. But Dawson is comfortable at centre back and West Brom have a tall back four."
