Good evening, all, and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Crystal Palace v Arsenal.

Cabaye zaps in a free kick which slaps straight into Martinez's hands.

Another Arsenal corner pinged in, it bounces around in the box again, Schlupp gets it away.

Benteke almost sneaks his way into the area, intersecting two men, but the ball runs just a little too long.

Ozil's ball in this time doesn't get past the first man.

Ozil is trying so hard to create something, and it's Sakho who puts himself in the way of the firm cross into the box.

A set piece wasted, though.

Milivojevic is brought down by Elneny, and it's a free kick a long way out.

That looked like an imminent second for Palace. after Arsenal failed once more to clear, but the flag was up for offside.

It's really very noisy at Selhurst Park.

GOAL! Townsend opens the scoring, and Palace have certainly been on top. Long ball forward by Hennessey, Arsenal fail to dela with the bouncing ball, and a neat exchange of passes eventually falls to Townsend's feet.

Welbeck runs into traffic in the box, but manages to win a corner, which is wasted.

Another early claim for Martinez, off the head of Zaha.

SHOT! Great shot from Elneny, and Hennessey's fingers are at full stretch to tip that round.

Martinez is flying about and collecting everything at the moment.

Milojevic decides he might as well have a shot, and sends it a touch wide.
