35'
Palace break with Zaha, who passes left to Townsend. Zouma steps in to put the ball out for a corner.
The visitors look very threatening on the break today.
32'
A Palace corner swings to the edge of the box, where a completely unmarked Van Aanholt volleys towards goal. The powerful strike is deflected away by Johnson.
That would have been an incredible goal.
30'
Palace break with Zaha, who dummies on the edge of the box and plays a perfect through-ball for Loftus-Cheek. It catches him unaware and he's unable to connect.
27'
Pieters goes down from a challenge by McArthur.
They're dropping like flies now.
25'
Crouch goes for an aerial ball with Hennessey and clatters into the 'keeper.
That's a foul.
Meanwhile, Joel Ward is down injured.
24'
The game has become a bit scrappy.
Palace have had 63.1% possession thus far.
23'
CHANCE!
Shaqiri crosses from the right and finds Diouf's head, but the effort sails wide of the post!
That's Stoke's first real chance.
20'
Cabaye returns to the field after having his left leg massaged on the sidelines. Evidently there was more in the Crouch challenge than meets the eye.
18'
A Stoke advance finishes when Glen Johnson's comedy attempt at close control sees the ball go out of play.
The home fans are unhappy with Palace, who are taking their time over throw-ins, and who they feel are hitting the deck a little too easily.
15'
CHANCE!
Zaha shoots diagonally from the right across a crowded box, but his effort rolls wide.
14'
Cabaye is felled by a Crouch challenge and is very unhappy with the big man as he reaches to pick him up.
Replays suggest there wasn't too much in the challenge.
11'
Pieters blocks a Townsend strike from 20 yards! It's end-to-end stuff!
10'
Bauer beats his man on the left and charges down the byeline towards goal, but is unable to cut the ball back to a waiting Crouch.
9'
CHANCE!
Palace counter with Zaha, who passes to Loftus-Cheek on the right, who cuts in and who and curls a shot just over the bar.
This game is being played at a frantic pace right now!
7'
N'Diaye concedes a foul near the halfway line after charging into the back of Townsend.
2'
Peter Crouch tries to latch onto a flick-on but the flag goes up.
The home crowd's loud and vibrant mood matches the atypically beautiful weather right now.
2'
Loftus-Cheek cuts a through-ball into the box for James McArthur, but he puts too mych on it.
1'
WE'RE UNDERWAY!
Referee Martin Atkinson blows his whistle and Loftus-Cheek takes the first touch in Stoke's last-ditch attempt to survive.
12.25
Kick-off is five minutes away.
It's 18c and sunny at the bet365 Stadium, but a loss to Palace will see Stoke's 10-year stay in the Premier League come to an end.
12.20
Wilfried Zaha has four goals in his last four games.
He has two goals and an assist in 10 games against the Potters.
12.15
Xherdan Shaqiri, arguably Stoke's primary source of attacking creativity, has not scored or assisted in his last eight outings.
