Yohan Cabaye has a free-kick in a decent position just outside the United penalty area. It's atrocious. This is a game to forget so far.

Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham are all leading.

Manchester United have yet to have a shot on target.

Wayne Hennessey is quickly off his line to snuff out the danger before Zlatan Ibrahimovic can get on the end of Wayne Rooney's clever threaded pass. 

We're approaching the half-hour mark and we're still awaiting the first shot on target.

Lots of noise from Palace's fans but their team has shown very little attacking threat. That said, for all of United's possession they have yet to force Wayne Hennessey into a serious save.

This is dull, dull, dull.

Palace are just allowing United to dictate the game.

This game has yet to get out of second gear. It's extremely scrappy and there have been signs in the past few moments that it's getting a little bit tetchy. Christian Benteke gets a lecture from the referee for a late challenge which sends Michael Carrick crashing to the ground.

Eric Bailly is down again after another challenge with Lee Chung-yong. Referee Craig Pawson decides there is nothing untoward as Bailly climbs back to his feet. The United defender will be sporting a bruise or two in the morning.

No saves for either keeper to make. United create another chance as Juan Mata's cross is inadvertently headed into the path of Ander Herrera by a Palace defender. Palace escape a scare as Herrera volleys high and wide. It's that kind of game.

This is a surreal game with a surreal atmosphere. Palace haven't ventured from their half at all.

We are just waiting for the game to open up and for them to show some intent.

Manchester United are dominating possession at Selhurst Park but all fairly dull so far.

They had one early scare when Eric Bailly went down clutching his knee but he is up and running again now and manager Jose Mourinho will be hoping that moment of trouble is behind him.

Former Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini is making his first start for Crystal Palace since signing in September. He's hardly had a touch in the opening exchanges.

Paul Pogba has a pop at goal from distance. It's high and wide.

Palace are really reliant on Wilfried Zaha to give them that width.

Last season they had Bolasie on the other side but now it is just Zaha and everyone else is tucking in.

United have enjoyed 92% possession in the opening 10 minutes. Palace have yet to venture inside David de Gea's penalty area.

A decent run by Zlatan Ibrahimovic before the ball runs away from the United striker inside the Palace area. The home side have yet to turn up. 

Play is held up for a couple of minutes while Eric Bailly receives treatment after a fair challenge with Lee Chung-yong. The camera cuts to Jose Mourinho who looks anxious in his technical area. Bailly climbs to his feet. He's going to carry on...for now.

A lovely one-two between Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata ends with the latter heading narrowly wide inside the area. That's the first chance of the game.

It has been a strange start from Palace. They haven't put any pressure on the ball.

Bright start by United. Palace have hardly had a touch and Zlatan Ibrahimovic's presence inside the penalty area forces an early corner. It comes to nothing but the visitors are stroking the ball around with confidence while Palace are chasing shadows.
