Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE commentary of the Premier League clash involving Stoke City and Crystal Palace. Stay tuned for team news and all of the pre-match build-up.

WIDE! The ball sits up nicely for Afellay who tries a shot on the half-volley but the ball goes narrowly wide.

Zaha is now back onto the pitch - he had a fairly quiet first-half but won his side the penalty which Wickham coolly dispatched.

We're underway in the second period. Zaha has yet to make his way onto the pitch so Palace start the half with just 10 men.

Connor Wickham scored his first goal for Crystal Palace to give his side the lead just before half-time.

And that's it for the first-half, Wickham's penalty kick separates the sides.

GOAL - Stoke City 0-1 Crystal Palace! Wickham smashes the ball straight down the middle to score his first goal for Palace. It's a goal against the run of play but Alan Pardew won't mind one bit.

PENALTY TO CRYSTAL PALACE! A clumsy challenge from Whelan brings down Zaha and the referee points to the spot.

The cool and calm Butland collects Souare's cross from the flank. Palace are finding it difficult to create anything at the moment.

Zaha whips in a cross from the byline and Stoke clear. The home fans are fuming - they feel the ball was out of play.

Crystal Palace's gameplan is to frustrate the hosts and it has worked so far.

Pieters delivers a dangerous cross in search of Shaqiri, and Hennessey is quick off his line to collect. Stoke continue to create chances but are yet to make the breakthrough.

POST! van Ginkel is denied by the woodwork! Again, Stoke try their luck from distance, this time the goalkeeper is beaten, but the low shot smashes off the post.

Bolasie does the hard work as he leaves Johnson in his wake on the byline but then lets himself down with a poor cross which is easily cleared at the near post.

We're still goalless at the Britannia Stadium - Bojan has gone closest for the hosts but we certainly haven't been spoiled for chances.

WIDE! Afellay creates a little bit of space for himself and takes the opportunity to shoot but the ball is screwed just wide of the post.

And then Bolasie is caught offside.

OVER! Palace have been stuck in their own half for the last few minutes but when they finally find possession in an attacking area Bolasie wastes the chance as he balloons a shot well over the bar.

Bojan has come close to giving Stoke City the lead.

The corner doesn't come to anything but Stoke are beginning to put the visitors under a litle pressure here.
