Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
22:03
For the fifth successive Premier League meeting at Selhurst Park, Palace and Brighton play out a 1-1 draw. Welbeck's late header rescued a point for the Seagulls after Ayew nodded the hosts in front just before half-time. The point lifts Brighton to eighth place, while the Eagles remain 15th after stretching their winless streak to seven matches. Palace look to stop the streak when they travel to Chelsea next Wednesday, while Brighton host Tottenham the following day. Thank you for joining us today. Until next time, goodbye!

21:53
Mateta attempts to rally the home fans as the clock ticks down at Selhurst Park. Can Palace end their winless streak in the most dramatic fashion?
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:50
Welbeck fires over from a tight angle as we enter the first of five additional minutes at the end of this game. Can either side find the winning goal?
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:50
WHAT IS HE DOING?! That is a let-off for Henderson and Palace! The goalkeeper charges out to intercept a cross from the right. But rather than catch, he looks to punch the ball clear and sends it straight into the face of Welbeck. The ball ricochets towards the goal but, thankfully for the hosts, wide of the target.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:49
Yellow Card Dean Bradley Henderson
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:48
Brighton are looking the more likely to snatch all three points as we enter the final two minutes of regulation time. Andersen fails to clear a hopeful ball towards Welbeck, but does well to block Pedro's subsequent attempt.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:44
Yellow Card David Ikechukwu Ozoh
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:44
The visitors have their tails up and push to complete the turnaround. Van Hecke goes to ground in the box under pressure from Guehi, but the referee is quick to wave away any penalty appeals.

21:41
Substitution Kaoru Mitoma Jakub Piotr Moder
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:41
Assist Pascal Groß
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:40
Brighton half-heartedly appeal for a penalty as the unbalanced Mitoma goes to ground in the box. The referee is not interested and the unimpressed Henderson helps the Brighton winger back to his feet.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:39
JUST OVER! The hosts continue to push for the second goal, which could put the game beyond Brighton. Andersen's precise pass finds Mateta on the edge of the box. The forward makes a yard for himself, before rifling a fierce attempt just over from a tight angle.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:38
GREAT BLOCK! Following a clever shimmy by Mateta, Palace can counter and Eze is free on the left. The striker finds him, but Van Hecke gets across quickly to make a wonderful block.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:37
Although they lead, Palace will be wary. Only Sheffield United (13) have conceded more goals than the Eagles (nine) in the final 15 minutes of Premier League matches this season.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:34
De Zerbi decides youth should be substituted by experience as he withdraws Hinshelwood in favour of Lallana at right-back.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:34
Brighton continue to threaten and Gilmour whips a dangerous ball towards the far post. Unfortunately, none of his team-mates anticipate it and the ball goes behind for a goal-kick.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:33
Henderson called into action again as he races out of goal and Pedro is eventually forced out of play. Although, the offside flag is then raised against the Brighton forward.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:29
A nervy moment for Palace and Henderson, who is unable to gather a cross from the left with several attempts. However, the defence comes to his rescue as they manage to block Van Hecke's strike before clearing.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:29
Substitution Jordan Pierre Ayew Eberechi Oluchi Eze
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:27
Youth has certainly played its part for Brighton in 2023, with nine different teenagers representing them. Only Tottenham (1993) and Middlesbrough (2006) have fielded more teenagers during a calendar year in the Premier League (both 10).
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:26
CHANCE! Another neat move by the visitors sees Mitoma release Gross down the left. The latter crosses to the far post, where Hinshelwood arrives, but is unable to keep his first-time shot down from a tight angle.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:25
GOOD EFFORT! Following a decent spell of Brighton pressure, the ball bounces kindly for Gilmour to strike on the volley. There is plenty of power in the Scotland international's strike, but Henderson is equal to it.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:21
Players making positive impacts from the bench is something Brighton are very accustomed to. In fact, their substitutes have scored 10 goals in the Premier League this season - more than any other side.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:19
SAVE! Buonanotte, who has been impressive since coming on, leads Brighton's charge again with a jinking run before feeding Mitoma. The latter cuts inside and gets a shot away, but it is straight at Henderson.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:18
Substitution William James Hughes David Ikechukwu Ozoh
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:16
Yellow Card Igor Julio dos Santos de Paulo
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:15
Brighton want a penalty as Hinshelwood goes to ground under pressure from Ayew. The referee consults VAR, who swiftly confirm the incident unworthy of the need for him to point to the spot.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:15
CHANCE! Dunk pulls away from his marker to meet Gross' free-kick at the far post. However, he sends his header wide of the right post.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:13
Yellow Card Tyrick Kwon Mitchell
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:11
Brighton threaten and Welbeck helps Gross' corner towards goal. However, Ayew is well-placed to block his header and the hosts eventually scramble the ball clear.

Yellow Card William James Hughes
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:08
Palace go straight onto the attack from the restart and force a corner. Under pressure from Lerma, Verbruggen does well to punch clear for Brighton.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:05
Fresh from that double-substitution, Brighton get the ball rolling again in the second half.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:04
Buonanotte also enters the action for the hosts. Balepa is the player to make way.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
21:03
Substitution Simon Adingra Daniel Nii Tackie Mensah Welbeck
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:59
Brighton controlled possession for large periods of the first half, recording 60.5 per cent of it. But from it, they only fashioned two shots on target. Therefore, De Zerbi will be urging his players to show more of a clinical edge upon the restart.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:57
That goal came at an ideal time for Palace, who head into the break with the lead at Selhurst Park. Chances had been few and far between until the first minute of stoppage time, when the hosts pounced on Verbruggen's poor clearance with Olise crossing for Ayew to break the deadlock.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:49
HALF-TIME: CRYSTAL PALACE 1-0 BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION

20:47
Assist Michael Akpovie Olise

20:46
Goal Jordan Pierre Ayew
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:46
Receiving the ball out on the left flank, Gross steps inside and delivers a deep cross towards the far post. It just evades the run of Hinshelwood before Henderson collects.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:44
Palace are yet to win any of their five midweek Premier League matches in 2023, losing four. The Eagles also failed to score in each of those defeats.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:42
At the other end, space opens for Gross to try his luck from distance. There is plenty of venom in his attempt, which Henderson is forced to push away to safety.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:41
Palace threaten again down the left. Olise embarks on a powerful infield run before finding Lerma, whose low cross is gathered by Verbruggen with Mateta waiting to pounce.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:39
Danger for Brighton as Ayew drills a vicious ball into the six-yard box from the left. However, with Mateta lurking, Van Hecke reacts quickly to intervene and clear the visitors' lines.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:38
Brighton are looking to end their wretched run of 21 successive Premier League matches without a clean sheet. That is their longest ever streak in the league.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:35
Palace look to threaten and force a corner. The delivery into the box ricochets off Ayew, but Verbruggen reacts quickly to gather the loose ball.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:32
Yellow Card Carlos Noom Quomah Baleba
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:30
Yellow Card Jean-Philippe Mateta
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:29
The ball breaks kindly for Mateta, who unleashes a fierce attempt from outside the area. Although, it is straight at Verbruggen, who gathers comfortably enough.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:28
Ayew stays down in protest following an off-the-ball tangle with Hinshelwood. It looked quite innocuous in all fairness, though, and the Palace forward is soon back on his feet.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:26
Brighton have only lost two of their eight midweek Premier League games in 2023. Although, both of those defeats did come away from home.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:24
Adringra's shot was the first attempt on target as we hit the midway point in the first half. Brighton will look to use that as a platform to build on as they try to get back to winning ways.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:21
GOOD SAVE! Igor's sweeping ball towards the edge of the box evades Hinshelwood and reaches Adingra, who draws a fine reflex save from Henderson. Balepa then sends his volleyed rebound wide of the target.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:19
Palace are the only Premier League side without a home win since the start of October. The Eagles have only recorded a joint-low one victory overall during that time, along with Nottingham Forest and Luton Town.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:18
We are still goalless after the opening quarter of an hour at Selhurst Park. Brighton have edged the possession, but there has only been one shot on goal between the sides thus far.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:15
Lerma's tremendous throughball catches Brighton off-guard and releases Olise down the right wing. He has Mateta to aim for in the box, but his cross is not the best and the visitors can eventually relax with a goal-kick.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:13
Can Mateta make a difference for the hosts today? The striker has scored in his last two Premier League matches having failed to do so in the previous 18. You must go back to October 2017, when he was plying his trade with Ligue 2 side Le Havre, for the last time he netted in three successive league games.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:11
There is a fairly subdued atmosphere at Selhurst Park, where Palace have lost each of their last four Premier League games. The Eagles were last beaten five times on the bounce at home in the English top flight between December 2016 and February 2017.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:09
Sunday's defeat at Arsenal ended Brighton's run of 32 successive Premier League matches in which they had scored. The Seagulls look eager to make amends for that today.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:07
Gross is involved again as he takes aim from the edge of the area after a scrappy passage of play culminates in the ball breaking kindly for him. But he drags his effort well wide of the target.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:04
Gross makes a positive run into Palace's half as he looks to connect with Pedro's attempted throughball. However, the hosts are able to cut it out and prevent the ball from reaching the Brighton midfielder, who could well have been bearing down on goal.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
20:02
Referee John Brooks blows his whistle and Palace get the match under way.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
19:59
The teams have made their way out onto the field and we are almost ready to go at Selhurst Park.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
19:54
If history is anything to go by, we should be in for a closely fought encounter today. Indeed, the last four Premier League meetings between the sides at Selhurst Park have all ended in a 1-1 draw.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
19:50
As for Brighton, Roberto De Zerbi makes four alterations from the defeat at Arsenal. Hinshelwood, Igor, Balepa and Pedro all start with Milner, Lallana and Ferguson dropping to the bench, while Joel Veltman misses out through injury. He joins the likes of Ansu Fati, Julio Enciso, Pervis Estupinan, Solly March, Adam Webster and Tariq Lamptey in the treatment room.
Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion
19:50
Roy Hodgson makes three changes from the draw with City. Ayew returns from suspension, while Lerma and Hughes are also back in the starting XI as Henderson makes his home debut between the sticks. Riedewald and Schlupp drop to the bench, with Joel Ward missing out through injury after he was substituted in the first half at the Etihad Stadium. The likes of Odsonne Edouard, Rob Holding and Sam Johnstone remain absent for the Eagles.

It is 15th-place Palace against ninth-place Brighton as the M23 derby takes centre stage in the Premier League today. The Eagles are looking to end a six-match winless streak, but will have taken confidence from their comeback draw against reigning champions Manchester City last weekend.
