    Palace are huffing and puffing. Not close to blowing the Stoke house down though.

    One last roll of the dice by Sam Allardyce. Can he bring up a six? Loic Remy is the man coming on...

    Time running out for Palace. Stoke enjoying knocking the ball about on the right flank, Glen Johnson and Ibrahim Afellay teasing the away players.

    Another change for the Potters. On comes Mame Biram Diouf for Ramadan Sobhi. Decent shift by the young Egyptian.

    The set-piece is only partially cleared by Stoke - giving Palace another opportunity. Andros Townsend swings the ball back in from the right, Jeff Schlupp flicking it on to James Tomkins. The centre-back's eyes light up, he swings a wild left boot at it and the ball flies high and wide.

    Jeff Schlupp's arrival has given Palace some impetus. Corner...

    What a cultured finish from Joe Allen. He's slotted that right in the corner - really good football. 

    That's a disaster for Palace, who need to be matching Middlesbrough's result as a minimum.
