    Burnley 0-0 Stoke

    Half a chance for Stoke again - they have been the more dangerous side. Another good cross from Ramadan Sobhi is met by Mame Diouf, but his header is a touch mistimed and drifts wide.

    It's taken Bakayoko a while to fit in a system or position that works for him. It will be interesting to see the role he will play tonight.

    I didn’t have a lot of respect for Roy Hodgson. I have even less now given the fact that Benteke has retained his place.

    Daryl Janmaat (3 mins)

    Nightmare start for Palace! They forget to mark Daryl Janmaat as he comes in at the back post to meet a chipped cross from Richarlison and head home from six yards out.

    Christian Benteke was given a good reception when his name was read out pre-match. He needs to back that up now. Palace make a good start, a fine ball in behind almost sends Andros Townsend in but he's well covered,

    Jacob (19:49). Careful what you wish for. Hughes has kept a mediocre side in the Prem without breaking the bank.. (See Leeds, Villa etc, about the same level)..

    Does nobody rate Tiemoue Bakayoko? The poor bloke gets hammered every week on here.

    Maybe today's the day he turns it around.

    Bakayoko starts. Best we can hope for is a draw. He is literally half the reason (7 points) why we're this far behind City. Errors every single game

    Burnley 0-0 Stoke

    The best move of the night so far for the hosts, who have made a poor start. That's good play though, working the ball nicely in midfield but it ends on the edge of the box with a poor touch from Jeff Hendrick.

    Even if you have to run on naked to get the ball off him, someone had to make a stand to stop him taking the penalty. The directive should have come from the bench - 'he does not take this penalty'.

    Fans are so fickle. Top 100 players would not join Stoke. Hughes has done amazing changing the style of play

    The players and staff are crammed into the corridors at Selhurst Park. Did you see those plans for the redevelopment? Great news for all concerned if they come to pass.

    It needs a lick of paint, let's leave it at that.

    Huddersfield v Chelsea (20:00 GMT)

    Still very wet in Huddersfield as the players emerge. This promises to be a tough ask for Chelsea. Both Manchester clubs have had a stern examination of their credentials at the Mac so far this season.

    Burnley 0-0 Stoke

    Stoke's good start continues. Xherdan Shaqiri's corner is met on the volley by Kurt Zouma - who has more shots than Swansea of course - but he can only sidefoot at Nick Pope.

    Burnley haven't got going at all.

    Peter Crouch looking a real handful already. He almost reaches another good early cross from Xherdan Shaqiri.

    Good start from the out of form visitors.

    Jacob: Still Hughes Out. Hasn't changed and won't change. When we have won this season it has been DESPITE our manager. If you disagree you have not been watching Stoke play

    Burnley 0-0 Stoke

    Peter Crouch wins a flick-on, Xherdan Shaqiri shoots from 25 yards, it's straight at Nick Pope. Shaqiri may well hold the hopes of the Stoke attack tonight.

    Crouch is then in at the back post after a very out of character piece of sloppy defending - he reaches a cross but Nick Pope cuts it out.

    Actually it hits the post, off the hands of Pope!

    Straight from kick-off Geoff Cameron has a moment in the Stoke defence, treading on the ball and nearly letting in Chris Wood but he recovers to clear via Jack Butland. The home fans are in good voice.
