Hello and welcome to our coverage of this afternoon’s game between Hull City and Crystal Palace at the KC Stadium!

Huddlestone calmly turns away from a challenge on the edge of his own box. Nicely done. Elmohamady breaks forward and wins a corner.

Koren gets the ball halfway into the Palace half. Hull probe patiently…but the Eagles defence holds firm. Bolasie breaks forward but his lay-off to Chamakh is not good enough.

The Hull free kick comes to nothing. Here comes Palace - and now Gayle is clipped on the edge of the box - but nothing given! It's a Hull throw.

Bannan takes it – the Hull defence clear and Palace fall back to work it forward – but Hull break away with the ball. Boyd is fouled by Jedinak – the Aussie needs to be careful…

Bolasie is clipped by Boyd. Free kick to Palace.

...now the banner is being paraded around as the fans sing "City 'Til I Die"

Home fans are trying to raise a banner saying “We are Hull” – stewards are trying to take it down….

Chamakh nods it away – and eventually the danger to Palace passes.

Hull corner – short, then into the box – nodded away by Delaney. Another corner…

Bolasie makes a great run into the Hull box on the left – but he should have crossed! Dikagcoi was free!

Jedinak deals with the corner and a floated second attempt by Huddlestone.

A backpass from Gabbidon to Speroni is a bit heavy – the keeper slices it away and it goes for a Hull corner. Huddlestone to take.

Nice cross into the box from Bannan, but Bolasie is judged offside – possibly harshly – as he battles to reach the ball.

The quality of the final ball is letting both sides down a bit at the moment. Chamakh comes back on, re-bandaged.

Palace build from deep, playing neat one-touch-and-pass football. McShane is forced to cover on the edge of the Hull box.

Jedinak clips Huddlestone - Palace are marking him closely. Free kick to Hull.

Chamakh’s bandage is already off! He has to go back off for running repairs.

Both sides just probing at each other at the moment – and showing the other side too much of the ball. Throw to Palace.

Better from palace on the right side of Hull’s box – but Bolasie gives away a needless foul.

Koren breaks down Hull’s right but his cross is disappointing to say the least

Palace can’t really get out of their half just yet. Meanwhile, Chamakh looks to be coming back on – in a heavily bandaged state.
