    HT: Crystal Palace 1-0 Leicester

    Palace started the game controlling possession before Leicester had more of the ball later on. It's all fairly equal in terms of territory and possession here so far.

  3. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:48 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2018

    Crystal Palace 1-0 Leicester

    And that's that for the first 45 minutes.

    Your archetypal scrappy first half illuminated by one moment of real quality there.

    Luka Milivojevic's superb strike the difference at Selhurst Park so far.

  4. YELLOW CARDpublished at 45+1 mins

    Crystal Palace 1-0 Leicester

    James McArthur gets a return ball from Andros Townsend and falls down under a challenge from Ricardo Pereira.

    But referee Michael Oliver judges that McArthur dived and shows him a yellow card for simulation.

    A bit harsh perhaps. It wasn't a clear foul but I don't think it was a case of no contact at all either.

    Can the Foxes level before the break?

    They don't look like doing so. Palace are keeping possession in Leicester's half and win a free-kick.

    It's cleared and Palace have a throw but it comes to nothing.

  7. CLOSE!published at 42 mins

    Crystal Palace 1-0 Leicester

    Max Meyer drifts into the middle and drives, with Leicester backing off him.

    The German slides in a low effort that drifts just wide of the right-hand post.

    Selhurst Park is rocking now.

    Palace surge forward again and Leicester are forced to somewhat scramble.

    Luka Milivojevic takes a first touch, caresses it on to his right to give him the angle, then whips it into the corner. Beautiful finish.

    GOAL - Crystal Palace 1-0 Leicesterpublished at 38 mins

    Luka Milivojevic

    What a hit! A moment of real class in a match largely devoid of it so far.

    Palace counter and work it out down the right but look slightly hemmed in near the corner flag.

    But they come back and find Luka Milivojevic in space about 25 yards out on the right side of the Leicester area.

    And the Palace captain unleashes a powerful, curving strike beyond Kasper Schmeichel into the left-hand corner.

    Well if your front two never look like scoring, that's not a bad way to get goals instead.

    Wilfred Ndidi catches James McArthur in possession just outside the Palace box and Leicester work it left for Christian Fuchs.

    His ball in evades all the white shirts and Palace start the counter.

    Leicester are now on top in terms of possession. They look the more likely side to break this deadlock, with Palace still disjointed.

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Leicester

    Leicester continue to prosper by switching it quickly to full-backs Christian Fuchs and Ricardo Pereira.

    It's the latter this time down the right but his cross is too close to Vicente Guaita.

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Leicester

    Martin Kelly heads a ball towards Jamie Vardy into the path of James Maddison.

    The young playmaker plays a one-two with the overlapping Christian Fuchs but Palace are back in numbers.

    Leicester swing it right instead and Marc Albrighton's cross evades everyone but zips out to Christian Fuchs on the left wing.

    The Austrian swings in a decent cross and Vardy heads it too close to Palace keeper Vicente Guaita, who gratefully gathers.

    Corner to Palace, they swing it in but Kasper Schmeichel is fouled.

    Palace swing in a free-kick and Christian Fuchs is alert at the back post to head it away for a throw.

  17. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 27 mins

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Leicester

    Vicente Guaita almost has a total mare on his Premier League debut.

    The Spanish keeper elects to take a touch after a back pass and knocks the ball out to the left but too far away from his body and Jamie Vardy is bearing down.

    Vardy nips in, swivels and finds the net.

    But the referee's whistle has gone for a foul on Guaita. It was a bit of a barge from Vardy but that was very, very risky from the Palace keeper.

    Marc Albrighton starts a move on the right and nearly gets on the end of it in the area but Palace stick a boot in.

    The hosts have had more possession but Leicester just look a much more composed and competent side.
