Neal Maupay does some nice footwork in the box and pulls it back to Leandro Trossard. It's hard to tell if he tries to loft a ball into the box or try a cheeky chip but either way it's easily caught by Vicente Guaita.

Brighton have had 62.2% possession, I'm surprised it isn't more. Palace haven't done anything of note.

It was a fantastic ball in with a lot of venom and I don't think he expected it to come that quickly, Neal Maupay, he just couldn't connect with it.

Brighton defender Joel Veltman powers a low cross across the box but nobody is there to turn it home. Neal Maupay air-kicks it actually.

Palace haven't even had a touch in Brighton's box yet.

Brighton probe well down the right but the ball runs out for a throw-in.

Andros Townsend runs down the left for Palace and thinks he's fouled after getting a nudge but referee says goal-kick.

Sorry thought I could save us the next 75 minutes by skipping to the end but my bosses say I have to keep doing this live text.

Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace played out a goalless derby draw which takes both sides an extra point above the relegation zone.

Crystal Palace are starting to get a little bit of rhythm, they are really deep at times. There is going to be a big emphasis on Andros Townsend and Jordan Ayew as you need ball carriers to get you up the pitch.

Rare Palace attack as Jordan Ayew crosses from the right but Lewis Dunk heads away before Jean-Philippe Mateta can get there.

Joel Ward heads this one away.

Alexis Mac Allister finds a pocket of space in the box. He tries to find a team-mate but Palace put it behind for a corner.

Brighton have their first chance. Yves Bissouma tries to find Alexis Mac Allister but the ball instead runs to Steven Alzate. His shot is blocked and the rebound comes back to Bissouma, who blazes over the bar from outside the box.

Brighton want to play football, play through the thirds and you need the personnel to play that, unfortunately for goalkeeper Mat Ryan he was a casualty in that - when you see Robert Sanchez he is like a centre back, they are an extra outfield player, not just a goalkeeper anymore.

A slick Brighton move but Neal Maupay is offside as he tries to control Leandro Trossard's pass.

I sold Eberechi Eze in fantasy football so expect him to score a hat-trick today.

Watching Eberechi Eze in that central position for Crystal Palace without Wilfried Zaha, they are going to need their flair player today and he has moved more central.

Corner to Brighton, Pascal Gross to take. It's over a couple of heads and Albion take it back to the halfway line.

Nothing to report from the opening three minutes.

Please don't be a 0-0.

A derby without fans really is not the same, is it?
