Good afternoon, all, and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Manchester United v Crystal Palace.

Full-time. Well, I think we can all agree, that was...not good. Nevertheless, United have hung on to those three points, at home, defending that slender margin of victory. Palace will wonder what could have been if that Campbell chance had been on target in the first half. Thanks for your company this afternoon.

Into added time and everyone seems to be exhausted.

More changes. Campbell has been tireless.

Some desperate lumps up the field from Palace now, but United are managing those attempts with ease.

Another poor shot from Rooney, once more trying to place it beyond Speroni but not managing to move it enough.

United still trying to run the clock down, and Palace, trying to close them down, can't break into their exchanges.

Can Palace get one back? History isn't on their side. At home, United have only conceded in one of their last seven top flight matches against Palace (since the 5-2 on 18 December 2004).

SO CLOSE! Mata hits the post, Van Persie's rebound is across the face of goal, and Palace are resolute.

Barry Bannan's fresh legs deliver a ball towards Puncheon at the far post, but that's over his head and Neil Warnock is not best pleased.

Double sub for Palace - can the late changes get them their equaliser?

Chance for Campbell! His shot's blocked, and then there are successive corners, with Van Persie eventually getting the ball up to the other end of the park.

Rather early to start running the clock down, but that's what De Gea is trying to do.

Chamakh and McNair entangle limbs.

Rather pathetic grass-cutting effort from Delaney, of all people, despite having three team-mates around him.

United are unbeaten in their last 74 Premier League home matches when scoring the opening goal (71 wins) – since their 4-1 home loss to Liverpool in March 2009.

Rooney's free kick balloons towards Carrick, but Speroni claims on the line.

See, even their Twitter account sounds deflated.
