Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League match between Manchester City and Crystal Palace.

The second half is underway. Can City hold on for a draw? Can Palace break through?

The referee calls for half-time. A poor showing from City, and Palace, for different reasons so far.

Dzeko elephants about in the box, and fouls up the move. The ball comes out to Fernandinho and he blasts it at Mariappa's head.

City can't get a shot away from the corner and the move breaks down.

City work the ball around the left wing, then spread it wide to Milner to cross, and Fernandinho reaches behind to head fiercely at goal for Speroni to tip over.

There are going to be five minutes of added time this half.

Joe Hart flaps at a Palace corner. He's back to his best!

Milner's cross is brought down by Dzeko. The ball is worked to Navas on the right and Parr concedes a throw. Silva dinks in a ball for Dzeko, who is dispossessed by Gabbidon. Ferdinandinho collects the ball, flicks it over Mariappa, but he blasts his shot over.

Clichy sets Silva free in the box, but his cross to the centre is cleared. City win it back and start again.

Silva does absolutely magnificently to keep in a Boyata pass, tricks his way past Bannan but he blasts his shot, from a tight angle, way too high.

Navas sends in a cross, it's cleare back to him, and his second low cross is cleared out for a throw by Bolasie.

Navas passes the ball wide for Boyata to send in a curling cross, but Gabbidon heads it behind.

The ref blows up for a high ball on Boyata, who seems very grumpy about the decision. The ref then tells of Kompany, a bit, and Jedinak, a lot, for getting cross at the foul. Angry men. Calm ref. Bad MBM entry.

Boyata finds Silva on the edge of the box, and he slips in Navas just on the byline, but Parr does brilliantly to get a toe to it and concede a corner.

Palace make a mess of clearing the ball and Speroni is out to slide towards the ball and smother it. That's a relief for Crystal Palace Football Club.

Boyata nudges Bolasie, but somehow doesn't concede a foul. Chamakh is on to replace Jerome.

Jerome is off the pitch, and he'll be subbed shortly.

Hart is OK. Thank Jesus Christ, so soon after Christmas, for that.

Hart is down, still getting treated. Pantilimon is warming up. Jerome is also down with an injury to his leg.

Bolasie puts in a good cross from the left, between defence and 'keeper, but Jerome is a few inches away and it's eventualy cleared. Parr then sends in a low cross from the left, and Jerome runs into Hart, kneeing him in the head, as he challenged for the ball.

Jerome flicks on a cross from the right, and it drops for Bolasie to volley, but it's slow and into the ground, easily stopped by Hart. At the other end, Silva has a shot on goal that Gabbidon blocks for a corner. Speroni easily claims it.
