Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Crystal Palace's Premier League clash with Burnley from Selhurst Park. Burnley's win over Watford last time out moved them level on points with Palace in 10th, with both looking to take another step towards a top-half finish with victory this evening.

First meaningful strike from Palace comes via the boot of Ayew from distance, but that is an easy save for Nick Pope in the away goal.

Shock horror, it is McNeil with the shot, but it is blocked. Can someone else step up, please?

McNeil clips the ball out to Charlie Taylor, but the move breaks down.

McNeil really is the standout player so far.

Patrick van Aanholt lifts the ball into the Burnley box, but the Clarets clear with ease.

Drinks break and stats time. Palace's line up (30y 323d) is the second oldest of any side's starting XI in the Premier League this season (after Palace v Bournemouth on June 20th).

McNeil again the danger as he drives right at the heart of the Palace defence, elects to shoot with Vydra in a good position, but straight at Guaita.

SCRAMBLE! Westwood curls an excellent corner into the middle, which causes Palace all kinds of problems. Between them, the Palace backline manage to scramble the ball clear as far as McNeil, who shoots over.

Vital touch from Scott Dann to flick the ball clear with Jack Cork lurking with intent.

Palace with some of the ball now. Zaha is looking a little short of fitness. Has he really fully recovered from injury?

Plenty of "industrial language" too

Curse of the commentator! High, wide and not so handsome from Milivojevic.

James McArthur is fouled right on the edge of the penalty area. Danger when Luka Milivojevic is around.

Back to Burnley in possession. What Sean Dyche would give to have more firepower at his disposal.

First real Palace attack comes to nothing as Jordan Ayew's low cross is cut out.

Burnley have started confidently. Dwight McNeil is enjoying some freedom down the right.

Scrappy opening here. Palace struggling to string more than two passes together.

Burnley with the early attack as Erik Pieters tries to lift one into the penalty area, but that is easily cleared.

KICK OFF ! We are under way at Selhurst Park.

So here we go. All is not well at Burnley, with a power struggle between manager and chairman in full swing. On the pitch, though, they continue to do the business. Both of these teams were expected to be fighting relegation at this stage, but to be both having outside chances of Europa League football next season is mightily impressive. We are minutes away!

An important message from the Palace chairman in tonight's programme.
