    Crystal Palace 0-0 Tottenham

    Palace are yet to have a shot on goal this half. Jairo Riedewald tries to swing at a high loose ball in the box and Davinson Sanchez bravely stoops to nod the danger clear.

    Under 15 minutes to go now for someone to find a winner. Harry Kane will fancy another chance after that terrible miss...

    Just over half an hour before kick-off at Old Trafford.

    "We must be focused for the next game and to prepare in the right way because we are talking about a very strong team with fantastic players," says Chelsea boss Antonio Conte

    "We have to look at ourselves and understand that, from now until the end, every game is very important. The run for a place in the Champions League is open, so we must pay great attention.

    "In this run there are many great teams, and someone will have to stay out of the next Champions League."

  3. 'Alli dived into him there'published at 13:32 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2018

    Dele Alli has dived into him there. He's probably half a foot away from Wayne Hennessey when he's dived into him. Unfortunately for him, the storm around him diving will probably continue now.

  4. DIVE!published at 74 mins

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Tottenham

    Ooooh! That is another dive from Dele Alli - but there is no action taken from the referee. Should be a yellow card, no doubt, as he tumbles dramatically over Wayne Hennessey's dive to feet.

    "Dele Alli, he's diving again," is the chant from the home fans.

  5. GREAT SAVE!published at 73 mins

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Tottenham

    That is a remarkable save! Wayne Hennessey was rocking early in this game with his errors but this is a fine stop, how he stretches down so low and wide to meet Ben Davies' prod through a crowd of players is beyond me.

  6. 'There is contact on Alli'published at 13:29 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2018

    I don't think it's great from Dele Alli there, he's in the box, he just falls to the ground. Is there really enough contact there to go to ground? Or are you just trying to con the referee?

    But looking at the replay there is contact, maybe not enough to go down, but there is contact.

    Dele Alli goes down cheaply in the box - something that these days immediately brings jeers from the opposition. Patrick van Aanholt kind of caught him from behind - I'm not saying it was a penalty at all, it wasn't - and then Alli gets up and squares into him with his head. Aggro. The ref calms things down.

    Spurs are quite one dimensional, and if this way of playing doesn't work, which it hasn't today, they don't seem to have a plan B. I just can't understand why Son Heung-min hasn't been introduced.

    Thomas: Why are people surprised that Kane has missed a couple, he misses a couple in every game but usually manages to score, still time yet.

  10. Postpublished at 70 mins

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Tottenham

    Patrick van Aanholt looks to be OK - sometimes those when you get a stud caught in the turf and twist something, it can work out very nastily indeed. He's fine though.

    Spurs swing in their fifth corner of the game into touch and out again. Not Christian Eriksen's finest delivery.

    What do you make of this team?

    We asked you who would make your combined Man Utd and Chelsea XI and more than 65,000 of you voted.

    There are six United players and five from Chelsea, and it's good news for Paul Pogba. Despite Jose Mourinho sidelining the £89m signing in recent games, you thought he was good enough to feature in midfield.

    But there were six other players more popular, according to your selections.

    Chelsea forward Eden Hazard topped your picks, closely followed by United goalkeeper David de Gea.

    Read more about it here.

    This is a much, much better spell from Crystal Palace now. They're getting forward more.

    Is there a feeling they've earned the right to be a bit more boisterous, having defended so far so tightly?

    Patrick van Aanholt slips as he looks to spark another counter and the full-back remains down as Spurs win a corner.

    Erik Lamela has had a tough game, he's struggled to express himself, because it's been so congested. It's not an easy time to make your debut for Lucas Moura.

    Michael: Would prefer to see Bailly in for Smalling, and Rashford for Martial. But otherwise a strong MUFC lineup today. Now let them play, Jose!

    Kunal: McTominay getting another start and that too in a massive game! This will be an amazing confidence booster for him! Hope he puts in a real shift tonight! All the best.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 66 mins

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Tottenham

    Almost 80% possession for Spurs - but so much of it has gone sideways. Serge Aurier has just committed his second foul throw of the match.

    Here comes a first change for the away side. Lucas Moura is coming on for his Premier League debut as Erik Lamela comes off the wing.

    The one problem I have with Poch is that in games like this against a team we should be beating, is that come 50-60 minutes in he doesnt change it. Clearly its not working so he should change it, then by the time he makes the changes he gives them like 15 minutes to do something

    The referee's got this one spot on, it's actually a great challenge from Serge Aurier, who's had a pretty poor game, on Alexander Sorloth. It was nearly Crystal Palace's finest moment of the game.

    Anthony: Of course Morata is back against Man Utd after a break. He’ll probably score a goal or two. Don’t think today is going be a fun day.

    Sho: Should have been Bailly and Shaw instead of Smalling and Young but Pogba finally playing in a midfield three so I'll take it.

  19. CHANCE!published at 64 mins

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Tottenham

    Vital tackle from Serge Aurier. The right-back just pokes out a leg to steer the ball clear from underneath Alexander Sorloth as the Norwegian drove through on goal. Some home fans were shouting for a pen but that was clean from Aurier. Terrific challenge.

    With half an hour left, Palace are growing into this now.

    This really is an odd game. Spurs seemingly just going from side to side with no real incisive play, then they do open Palace up with lovely one touch stuff, and the one man you'd back to score fluffs it. Really poor so far from Spurs.
