Luka Milivojevic steps up.

But the Serbia international can't guide it far enough into the corner and Rui Patricio gathers.

Probably should have done more from that range, it wouldn't be unfair to say.

I'd go as far as to call this end-to-end in the closing stages of this first half.

There's plenty going on, and Palace have won a free-kick in a dangerous position here...

A corner for Palace, but it's claimed comfortably by Rui Patricio.

Wolves head up the other end but Doherty's cross is cut-out before it can cause any trouble.

After a slow start, both sides have had decent chances to go ahead at Selhurst Park.

Will we get a goal before half-time? Both sides are having a go. I reckon we might.

The free-kick eventually falls to Jeffrey Schlupp on the opposite side of the area, and the 25-year-old really gets behind his effort though the ball rises just a little too much.

It's not a million miles away though.

Jordan Ayew does really well to hold the ball up for Palace and win a free-kick with no team-mates in support.

What can they make of this?

Palace weather the storm and are back on the ball again.

They have to be wary of Wolves' threat on the counter however - and as the number of fouls begin to creep up you suspect they are.

James McArthur is already on a yellow and is pushing his luck a bit...

Wayne Hennessey dashes out to deny Raul Jimenez just as the striker looked poised to slot home.

He's having a very decent season, Hennessey.

The corner comes to nothing - but you sense some uncertainty in that Palace back-line.

They're up for this now, the visitors.

A corner to Wolves...

A first real chance for Wolves on the counter, as Diogo Jota releases Raul Jimenez.

The Mexican cuts inside onto his right foot but is unable to trouble Wayne Hennessey and drags his effort wide.

Brilliant work by Aaron Wan-Bissaka to beat his man and send a cross into the Wolves penalty area.

The ball bounces around off defenders before it's eventually cleared, but midfield anchor Luka Milivojevic is there to gain possession back for the Eagles who come again.

No goals at home for Crystal Palace so far this campaign, and that should have been on a plate for Ayew had the Ghanaian gambled.

But Palace maintain control over the flow of this one and the pressure builds again...

Wilfried Zaha puts a brilliant ball across the face of the goal but Jordan Ayew doesn't take any risks to meet it and a good chance goes wasted.

Lovely feet from Zaha there to make the space for the cross.

... But it's well dealt with by Wolves.

Not the most pleasant conditions at Selhurst Park, and the rain allows Aaron Wan-Bissaka to produce a strong slide tackle that's appreciated by the home crowd.

Now, Palace head up the other end and win a corner...

Just shy of 80% possession for the home side so far.

They look confident despite Monday night's 87th minute sucker-punch, but they haven't created anything yet.

Wolves had to be patient before eventually making a decisive breakthrough against Southampton last weekend - they've actually scored seven of their eight league goals in the second half of matches.

They have looked very good, and have persisted with the style of play boss Nuno demands -even when left frustrated.

They've not started quick here, but hopefully we don't have to wait too long for some action this afternoon...

The home side are enjoying a decent amount of the early possession and have not allowed Wolves to settle into any particular rhythm.

A good start for Roy Hodgson's side.

What to make of Palace's start more generally?

It's obviously a significant improvement on last season, when they began their eighth game of the campaign with zero points and zero goals scored.

But a look ahead suggests Roy Hodgson will surely be desperate for a home win today, with games against Everton, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United to come after the international break...
