Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of this Premier League clash between Crystal Palace and Stoke. Kick off is coming up at 3pm and we'll bring you some team news shortly.

Kevin Friend puts us out of our misery and blows for full time. It finishes 1-1. Palace have just one win in 10 now, despite being the better side today. Thanks for joining.

Diouf skips away down the left. One last chance?

Bannan whips a testing cross in but Shawcross is equal to it.

Three added minutes to be had here. Not sure I can manage three. By the looks of it, niether can Mark Hughes, who does not look a happy man.

Stoke doing the pressing in the late stages here.

Stoke nearly grab a winner! And it falls to Crouch, who is alive in the box despite having nothing to feed off in the second half. He tries to hook the bouncing ball home but Speroni dives to save.

Warnock looks to inject a dose of creativity, bringing on Barry Bannan in place of the goalscorer McCarthur.

Crouch is shaking his head here. He looks thoroughly pissed off. He's had next to no service in this second half.

Dann skips forward and tries to thread a ball through for Gayle. It's a good idea but the execution, again, is poor.

Possession stat for you now, to keep you interested. Palace 43% Stoke 57%.

Chamakh limps off to apologetic applause and is replaced by Dwight Gayle.

Chamakh sprints away and pulls up sharply. Only one word comes to mind when you see that: hamstring. He's down receiving treatment.

Stoke enjoy a couple of corners but can't make anything of them. Palace break but McArthur's ball is behind Puncheon. There's a distinct lack of quality in this second half.

Stoke start to exert some pressure now and pin Palace back for the first time in a while.

Try writing about it as well:

Boos ring out from the home fans as Begovic takes his time over a free kick. Bit early for time-wasting tactics, no?

Stoke are doubling up now on Bolasie, whose studs continue to see more of the ball than Stoke's strikers. He rolls his feet over it a few times, flicks back a few times and wins a throw.

A stupid foul from Chamakh as Bardsley stumbles in his box and struggles to clear under pressure. Booking.

Diouf goas in late on Jedinak, who's furious. He's got every right to go for it though, and is bemused when the ref gives him a ticking off.

Speroni nurses his head after Crouch climbs all over him. It's vintage Crouch.
