Welcome to our LIVE coverage of Crystal Palace's Premier League clash with Hull - which you'd expect to be a classic relegation six-pointer if it weren't for the surprising and refreshing fact that neither team is currently in the bottom three.

The players are in the tunnel and we've got just enough time to give you some match odds: HOME WIN 6/4 DRAW 2/1 AWAY WIN 2/1

The Crystals cheerleaders are out in force and so are the Palace faithful. Since Tony Pulis arrived Palace have averaged 1.30 poins per game. They've also managed six clean sheets this season, the same as Liverpool and Manchester United have managed. Hull have not scored in their last three Premier League games.

Palace will go in to this game with history on their side as they have never lost at home to tonight's opponents since October 1985. That was on the old Division Two and was played on a Tuesday night.

Fifteen minues until kick-off and time for some facts and figures. Paul McShane is making his 50th Premier League appearance for Hull City tonight while teammate David Meyler makes his 50th in all competitions for the club.

Palace welcome back Dean Moxey to the starting line up to replace injured Jonathan Parr. Pulis has also brought back into the team Danny Gabbidon, Joel Ward, Mile Jedinak and Yannick Bolasie from the FA Cup defeat to Wigan.

Hull leave out top scorer Robbie Brady from the squad but will hope new signings Nikica Jelavic and Shane Long will make up for that with some goals of their own. The Irishman is making his first start for the club alongside Jelavic.

Steve Bruce: [on Long and Jelavic] "They've been chomping at the bit to get started and I'm sure they'll play a part... We've given ourselves a wonderful chance of staying in the division, and the more good players you've got, the more chance you've got."

Tony Pulis: [on Hull's new signings Shane Long and Nikica Jelavic] "They are good signings. Because they have a record of scoring goals in the Premier League. They'll be a handful. I think those two keep Hull in the Premier League. We'll be looking forward to it. We got knocked out of the FA Cup on Saturday but I didn't think we had the breaks. We've now got 16 cup ties left - starting with Hull tomorrow."
