    Joe Bryan, the new arrival from Bristol City, has stayed down and is getting treatment. Not sure what the injury is but the physio has been looking at his left foot.

    Fulham 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Bright start from Palace. A short corner leads to a second won from Jean Micheal Seri. This one is drilled into the box, where James Tomkins and Christian Benteke jostle for position but the ball is too long, and then James McArthur fouls Joe Bryan chasing down on the far side.

    Fulham 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Sloppy from Palace! Another Cyrus Christie cross beats everyone in the box before it's hacked away for a corner at the back stick with Ryan Sessegnon lurking. Wayne Hennessey claims the corner, boots up the park and Wilfried Zaha is almost unleashed by a Christian Benteke flick-on. Fabri was out smartly.

  6. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 44 mins

    Fulham 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Quite the finish from Patrick van Aanholt on his left foot, sweeping into the top corner after reaching Wilfried Zaha's pass, but he was offside - a long way offside too.

    Palace are flying now.

    GOAL - Fulham 0-1 Crystal Palacepublished at 41 mins

    Jeffrey Schlupp

    At the end of a half they have dominated, it's slack from Fulham as the defence sits back and watches Patrick van Aanholt play Jeffrey Schlupp into space in the box.

    The wing-back has time to shield the ball, spin into space for a shot and smash home on his left foot. Fabri beaten at his near post by the sheer power of it.

    Fulham have played the better stuff, but Palace have the lead.

  8. YELLOW CARDpublished at 40 mins

    Fulham 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Wilfried Zaha gets a yellow now - a bit harsh in my opinion. He caught fellow Ivory Coast international Jean Michael Seri in a 50/50 but there wasn't a lot in it.

  9. CHANCE!published at 39 mins

    Fulham 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Aleksandr Mitrovic bullies himself into a shooting position on the edge of the box, winning possession from a dallying defender, and flashes a low bouncing strike that Wayne Hennessey pushes away. A comfortable save but a sharp one.

    Fulham 0-0 Crystal Palace

    It's delicately poised, and although it's been goalless, it's been entertaining and absorbing at Craven Cottage.

    Cyrus Christie drills in a dangerous low cross at the end of a controlled and patient move, but it zips past everyone in the loaded penalty area.

  11. YELLOW CARDpublished at 34 mins

    Fulham 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Bold again from Crytsal Palace, they are growing. Wilfried Zaha bursts clear of two sliding challenges to spark a dangerous counter-attack which only comes loose with a wayward cross in the box.

    In the build-up, Kevin McDonald clattered Aaron Wan-Bissaka and the Fulham midfielder goes in the book.

  12. GREAT SAVE!published at 31 mins

    Fulham 0-0 Crystal Palace

    But there's always danger! Out of nowhere: rises strongly between two hard markers to loop a header on goal that Fabri does brilliantly to reach and scoop out onto the bar and away.

    Fulham 0-0 Crystal Palace

    It's nice to watch, this. Fulham are playing some really adventurous football, risking the ball in attack and fighting hard to win it back when those creative moves don't come off.

    That big opening for Aleksandr Mitrovic early on remains the game's most dangerous moment so far.

    Fulham 0-0 Crystal Palace

    The Cottagers have had 65% possession so far. Every time Palace get a hold of it within nano-seconds there is a harrying white shirt to contend with, and nine times out of 10 Fulham have been able to win the ball back.

    Palace have been reduced to pot shots from range really, but still Wayne Hennessey has not been beaten.

    Fulham 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Jean Michael Seri muscled out of it here but Kevin McDonald steps in to out-burl James McArthur. Fulham build again, sparking brightly down the left through Ryan Sessegnon once more.

    Totally on top here, the home side.

    Applause for a Jean Michel Seri sweep out across to Andre Schurrle. Palace turn it over though and tentatively build a move of their own - broken up by that man Seri again. Good work from the former Nice midfielder who was last summer linked very strongly with Barcelona.

    Patrick van Aanholt has been getting treatment on his shoulder - looked to have stretched awkwardly but he seems fine to carry on.

  18. Postpublished at 18 mins

    Fulham 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Foul on Andre Schurrle after a nice exchange with Ryan Sessegnon. Great position for a shot.

    Wayne Hennessey lines his wall up. Aleksandr Mitrovic fancies this.

    The Serbia striker hits the wall, then gets in Kevin McDonald's way chasing down the rebound.

    Patrick van Aanholt shepherds the ball back to his keeper, but seems to have injured himself doing so.

    Fulham 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Fulham are on top here but there are still spaces for Crystal Palace - Andros Townsend drives a low shot straight into Fabri's gloves from range.

  20. CLOSE!published at 14 mins

    Fulham 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Nice move! The best of the match so far as Andre Schurrle cuts back for Aleksandr Mitrovic, the Serbian sets himself up with a clever first touch but can't quite escape James Tomkins, the defender hurrying him into a scuffed shot that still forces Wayne Hennessey into a decent stop turning behind.

    From the corner, Mitrovic rises highest but nods wide of the post.
