Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Premier League fixture between Cardiff City and Crystal Palace. We'll bring you all the action as it happens in South Wales. Kick off is at 5.30pm.

Cardiff City, as has been predicted by many for a long time, will be a Championship club next season. They didn't have the quality to get the better of Crystal Palace this evening, but their relegation wasn't sealed today, but in previous failures. In the end, Cardiff City were always fighting a losing battle.

FULL TIME: Cardiff City 2-3 Crystal Palace.

Is there an fight left in this Cardiff City team? They have at least stepped up their game in the second half, but it will surely be too little too late for the Bluebirds. Time is almost up.

Three minutes of stoppage time to be played at the end of the match.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Cardiff City 2 (90 mins - Bobby Reid) Crystal Palace 3. Reid gets one back for Cardiff City, but it's surely too late for it to mean all that much to the home side. He cut inside off the left wing and curled a right-footed strike into the far corner of the Crystal Palace net. Guaita wasn't getting near that!

Of course, this result doesn't just have big repercussions for Cardiff City, but for Brighton as well, whose status as a Premier League club will be confirmed for another season.

Tipped on to the post! Hoilett is played down the right channel, he gets the shot away early, but Guaita gets down to make the diving save, tipping the ball on to the outside of the post.

Cardiff City can't really claim that they haven't had chances this evening. They have created opportunities in this second half, but they have been lacking quality in the final third.

Hoilett puts it over the bar! It's another glorious chance for Cardiff City. Mendez-Lang puts ANOTHER great cross to the back post and this time it's Hoilett who puts his shot over the target from close range!

Townsend comes off for Crystal Palace. He has been one of the standout performers today.

Townsend... on target! The Crystal Palace winger lines up the strike from distance, but this time his effort is straight at Etheridge, who makes the relatively straightforward save.

Good challenge! Just for a moment it seemed that Zaha was going to have the pace to get past Peltier on the counter, but the Cardiff defender recovers and makes a good tackle.

Hoilett might have come on earlier for Cardiff City. Can he salvage something, anything, from this for the Bluebirds?

Sako was offside! Zaha played a great ball to the back post where the Crystal Palace sub was waiting for it. His shot flashes wide, but the linesman's flag was up for offside anyway.

Ayew comes off for Crystal Palace. He has put in a decent display for the away side.

Lady Luck has not smiled on Cardiff City this evening, and maybe not all season long. Warnock certainly believes that his team have not had the luck of the green in recent weeks.

Cleared off the line! Warnock must have thought that was in! Mendez-Lang gets the shot away inside the penalty area, he beats the Palace goalkeeper, but McArthur was back to clear off the line!
