  2. 'Burnley running out of steam'published at 15:54 Greenwich Mean Time 13 January 2018

    The closing down from Phil Bardsley is not good enough for the goal. Bakary Sako has ran at him, and the defender hasn't done enough to stop him - Nick Pope's got no chance. It seems like Burnley have really run out of steam recently.

    And that's that for the opening 45 minutes.

    Bakary Sako's goal is the difference at the break.

    Just when Burnley looked to be coming back into it, Sean Dyche's side almost concede again.

    This time it's a marauding run down the right by Timothy Fosu-Mensah, who gets a cross in which Bakary Sako volleys just wide of Nick Pope's left hand post.

    And from that free-kick, Martin Kelly, Patrick van Aanholt and Christian Benteke all see chances come and go and great work from Kelly out wide to launch the attack.

    Steven Defour is the first player booked, after a foul on Wilfried Zaha.

    Crystal Palace 1-0 Burnley

    That's better from Burnley!

    It's another free-kick which is headed away from goal - but only as far as Ashley Barnes who hits a dipping half-volley which Wayne Hennessey tips over.

    A chance for Burnley now, though as Fosu-Mensah concedes a foul in line with the edge of the 18 yard box.

    Berg Gudmundsson's first delivery is headed away, but the ball is recycled back to the Icelander who this time finds Sam Vokes lurking - but his header goes wide.

    That's as close as the visitors have come.

    Burnley are trying their best to feel a way back into this match, but Palace are in their faces whenever they find possession.

    It'll be of no comfort for Clarets fans that their side are without a win in all 48 Premier League games under Sean Dyche when they have conceded the opening goal - losing 39 of those.

    Another chance goes awry for the hosts as Christian Benteke thumps a header inches over the bar from Luka Milivojevic's corner.

    The Belgian was allowed the time and space to get a free header, so will be disappointed not to have doubled Palace's lead from six yards.

  11. CLOSE!published at 22 mins

    Crystal Palace 1-0 Burnley

    Palace so close to a second!

    This time, James McArthur looks certain to tap in following Wilfried Zaha's clip over a stranded Nick Pope, but Burnley captain Ben Mee clears from underneath his own cross bar.

    GOAL - Crystal Palace 1-0 Burnleypublished at 21 mins

    Bakary Sako

    Now we've had a shot on goal - and it's the opener.

    Palace hit Burnley on the break, as Christian Benteke picks out Bakary Sako on the left.

    The Malian international cuts inside and gets a shot away which goes straight through Nick Pope, possibly via a deflection.

    A goalless opening 15 minutes at Selhurst Park, where we still await a first shot on target this afternoon.

    Burnley have seen more of the ball, but it's a midfield battle so far.

  14. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 11 mins

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Burnley

    Palace want a penalty after James Tarkowski goes in on Sako, but Mr Oliver is having none of it.

    Replays show that Tarkowski won the ball - just - but there was a moment of doubt for the Burnley defender before the referee decided it was a fair challenge and waved play on.

    Palace seize a loose ball in midfield allowing Wilfried Zaha to tee up Bakary Sako, but his first-time effort from outside the box is blocked away from danger.

    The two teams are making their way out to the pitch at Selhurst Park.

    Palace are in their familiar red and blue vertical stripes, while Burnley are in their white and claret away kit with blue trim.

    This fixture brings together two English managers who are exceeding their respective expectations.

    I watched Roy Hodgson's second match in charge of Palace, September's 5-0 defeat by Manchester City, and afterwards he spoke of the huge challenge ahead for team, who then had no points and had scored no goals. A tally of 22 points from 18 subsequent games is remarkable and this game will be in his winnable column.

    Five league matches without a victory for Sean Dyche's Burnley shouldn't disguise their tremendous campaign so far. The fact they sit as currently the best of the rest says it all.

    With 17 points from 11 games, their away form has been their biggest improvement and you wouldn't be surprised to see them add to that at Selhurst Park.

    When Roy Hodgson sat disconsolately in a media room in Nice to announce his resignation as England manager after the humiliating Euro 2016 exit to Iceland, it looked like a career in coaching and management stretching back 40 years may be over.

    Hodgson was then approaching his 69th birthday and looked broken by the pain of seeing England bundled out in the last 16 by rank outsiders.

    And yet, a little more than a year on, Hodgson was back at Crystal Palace explaining: "Unfortunately, a long time ago someone injected the drug called football into my veins and I have never been able to shake it off. I am still an addict."

    Fortunately for Palace, Hodgson's addiction has seen him conduct a quiet, confident reconstruction of a team stranded with no Premier League points or goals after seven games into the relative comfort of 14th position with 22 points after 18 league games.

    So how has Hodgson lifted the Eagles off the ground?
