Half-time at Selhurst Park. No goals, no shots on target and very little to talk about other than a yellow card that has ruled Yohan Cabaye out of Palace's game against Chelsea. Let's had a cup of tea, pretend that never happened, and start again in 15 minutes.
45'
Xhardan Shaqiri has just scored an absolutely wondrous goal for Stoke at Everton, his second of the afternoon.
44'
Crystal Palace's Yohan Cabaye is booked.

Let's be honest, this first half has been a slog. Zaha jabs his finger at Jonjo Shelvey after the Swansea man commits a foul, and that's what passes for entertainment this afternoon.
41'
Matt Grimes swings at the ball, misses, and his foot lands on McArthur's leg. He's very lucky to escape without a booking there. Every bit as bad as Cabaye's challenge.
40'
Crystal Palace's Jason Puncheon in action with Swansea's Jack Cork.

No shots on target yet for either team.
37'
Souare crosses from the Palace left, but Williams is first to it and clears for a throw. He has been solid today.
35'
Apparently that is the fourth time Neil Swarbrick has booked Yohan Cabaye in nine matches. (via @statbuker_PL)
34'
There wasn't much contact between Cabaye and Cork, but it was a reckless challenge and it was probably the right decision by the ref.

Yellow card! Yohan Cabaye goes in high on Jack Cork and that's a frustrated tackle... Neil Swarbrick shows the first yellow card of the match and it triggers a suspension! Cabaye will miss the game against Chelsea after his fifth yellow of the season.
32'
Barrow cuts inside from the Swnasea right and runs at pace at Dann, who stands firm and makes an excellent tackle.
30'
Taylor appears to shove Cabaye, leaving the Frenchman is a heap... but the referee sees nothing wrong with it and it's a Swansea goal kick.
29'
The free-kick, when it eventually comes, is wasted, glancing off Jedinak's head and out for a goal kick.
28'
Cabaye will deliver a free-kick from the Palace left, but first referee Swarbrick has to sort out some shoving at the edge of the box.
27'
That's Swansea's best moment of the game, as Shelvey plays a nice through ball towards Gomis - but Hennessey is alert and rushes out to claim the ball. And yes, that really is Swansea's best moment of the game.
25'
Here's Lukasz Fabianski, shouting.

23'
Fabianski is unconvincing as he rises to meet Jedinak's looping header, but just about gets there and pats the ball clear.
22'
Even Palace's Twitter account has to admit this game is a bit disjointed.
20'
Cork and Cabaye square briefly up to each other after a challenge in midfield. The referee defuses the situation without having to resort to cards.
