McClean goes into the book for taking out Souaré with a late crunching tackle on the slide. Can have few complaints about Jon Moss taking action there.
15'
Some nice, neat passing movements from Palce in keeping the ball well, but final ball just lets them down as Myhill drills the ball clear from his own area.

Bolasie caught day dreaming as the offside flag goes up against the Palace forward. Sloppy play from the home player.
13'
Saido Berahino has scored in consecutive Premier League appearances for the first time since March, but he hasn’t scored in three in a row since October 2014.

McClean cuts inside his man with McArthur beaten. Thumps a shot at goal from 25 yards, but the ball flies well over the bar.
10'
West Brom struggling to get on the ball as McClean knocks the ball out of play from a Dawson throw-in. Poor stuff really.
9'
West Brom are the only team yet to concede an away goal in the Premier League this season, but fortunate not to bleed a few in this match.
8'
Zaha cuts inside Brunt in the West Brom box before dragging a shot wide of goal from 10 yards. West Brom making a very nervy start. Palace very much on the offensive.
7'
Poor stuff from Craig Dawson, who gives the ball away under little or no pressure. Very slopping play from the West Brom defender. Fortunate not to be punished.
6'
Bolasie wallops a shot at goal from distance, but not enough pace to beat Myhill, who dives to his right to make a comfortable enough stop.
5'
Ths time it is Cabaye with the delivery, but the Baggies have plenty of bodies back in their own area as they clear the danger with some comfort.
4'
Puncheon with the corner. Picks out Gayle at the edge of the box, but his shot is deflected wide of the target. Another corner.
3'
Berahino tries to chip the ball to the back post, but just too much juice on the attempted cross as the ball drifts out of play. Palace in possession.
2'
Interesting to see two English managers contesting a match in the English Premier League. Souaré falls a bit awkwardly attempting to head the ball, but should be okay to continue without any treatment.

Off we go then. Palace get the ball rolling at Selhurst Park. The home side knocking the ball around at the back.

Teams are out on the pitch. Almost ready to go with this one. Autumnal sun threatening to break out at Selhurst Park. Pitch looks like a bowling green.

Here is our morning/lunchtime look at the Euro Papers for you. Always a highlight of anybody's day.

  • The Baggies have enjoyed just two wins in their last 14 PL trips to London (D5 L7), with their last win in the capital coming against Palace in April 2015 (2-0).
  • West Brom have kept 14 clean sheets in the Premier League in 2015, two more than any other side. This will be Alan Pardew’s 26th Premier League game with Palace, the same number Tony Pulis oversaw at the club in the competition.
  • 63% of the points (27/43) that Palace have won under Alan Pardew have come away from home, with almost twice as many victories achieved on the road than at Selhurst Park (nine wins away, five wins at home).
