90'+10'

That is all for today's live text coverage. Thanks for joining, goodbye!

90'+10'

Hodgson's side move up to 12th with this first point in three matches, while Brighton are in 16th. Next up for Palace is a trip to Fulham next Saturday, two days before Albion's next match - a home meeting with West Brom.

90'+10'

Palace and Brighton play out a 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park. Zaha put Palace in front from the penalty spot - that proving to be the home side's only shot of any note in the 100-minute contest, although Batshuayi did have a goal ruled out for offside. Brighton refused to give up and substitute Mac Allister rifled in an equaliser in the 90th minute, before Dunk was sent off for a two-footed challenge on Cahill.

90'+10'

FULL-TIME: CRYSTAL PALACE 1-1 BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION

90'+8'

PENALTY SHOUT! March flicks on the ball and Connolly uses his pace to get the wrong side of Kouyate. The palace defender puts an arm across his opponent but certainly does not make enough contact to warrant a penalty being awarded.

90'+6'

Benteke tries to wriggle his way through but his path is blocked off and Brighton have a goal-kick.

90'+5'

After two minutes of treatment for Cahill, plus some more handbags between Maupay and Zaha, play is back under way at Selhurst Park. There is still around five minutes to go here.

90'+3'

Gross' corner is attacked by Dunk. The ball runs loose and the centre-back, in an attempt to keep the attack alive, lunges in on Cahill two-footed and is rightly dismissed. There was no malice in the challenge, but he left the floor and has to go.

90'+2'

Seven minutes have been added on at Selhurst Park, so this one is not over quite yet. Brighton are the side pushing for a winner.

90'+1'

Alexis Mac Allister has scored his first Premier League goal for Brighton and Hove Albion on what is his 10th appearance in the competition.

90'

The final touch of the ball actually come off Connolly, so he will be credited with the assist and not Maupay.

90'

GOOOOAAALLL!!! PALACE 1-1 BRIGHTON!! Substitute Mac Allister has snatched a point for Brighton in the final minute! Ward miscues the clearance and Maupay's pass rolls through to Mac Allister, who drills a slightly deflected shot away from Guaita into the bottom-left corner.

89'

SCRAMBLE! March's inswinging free-kick is not dealt with by Guaita. A number of players stick their legs in to try to get to the loose ball, though in the end it is Guaita who claims it.

88'

Benteke is introduced for Schlupp for the final few stages to give Palace a bit more height in the box.

87'

March skips past Townsend and the Palace winger sticks out a leg to bring down his opponent. Brighton have a free-kick in a dangerous crossing position.

86'

McArthur enters the referee's book after accidentally catching Webster on the ankle.

85'

Lamptey pulls the ball back for Bissouma. Rather than crossing into the middle he sends a terrible shot - or was it a miscued cross? - into the stands, much to the dismay of Potter.

83'

Striker Batshuayi, who had a goal ruled out for offside, is replaced by holding midfielder Milivojevic.

82'

Gross is on for Burn in the last of Brighton's three changes.

80'

Palace have had four touches of the ball in the opposition box all contest, one of those being Zaha's penalty. That is what separates the sides with around 10 minutes to play.

80'

PENALTY APPEAL! March is brought down in the Palace penalty area. Play continues but VAR check back on the incident and it is determined that Batshuayi did not make enough contact on him.

78'

Trossard is also replaced as Brighton make a double change, with Connolly on in his place.

78'

Lallana, still not quite 100 per cent match fit, is replaced by Mac Allister in the first of the game's changes.

77'

With 77 minutes played at Selhurst Park, neither head coach has yet to turn to their bench. That may soon change, though, as there is some movement down on the Brighton bench.

76'

Lamptey is sent flying to the ground by Zaha but nothing is given. Guaita takes a little too long over the goal-kick and is shown a yellow card.

74'

Palace have still managed just one shot today - Zaha's successful penalty - whereas Brighton have had 10 attempts since going behind. Not that it counts for much - the hosts still lead 1-0 with around 15 minutes to go.

72'

Bissouma looks to pick out the bottom-right corner but his shot hits Cahill and goes out for another corner, which is nodded down to Bissouma and fired high and wide.

70'

Burn cannot quite get on the end of March's corner. It runs to Bissouma on the edge of the box and his shot is blocked. This is a good spell for Brighton.

69'

White clips the ball towards the back post and Wards takes no risks as he heads behind for a corner.

68'

Dunk gets to Trossard's free-kick but cannot guide his header on target when put under pressure by Palace skipper Cahill.

67'

SCUFFLE! Mitchell is furious at Lamptey for clipping him on the touchline after the ball had gone dead. They square off and a number of players run across to get involved, but the referee feels no need to reach into his pocket.

65'

At just over 31 per cent, Crystal Palace have the lowest average possession in the Premier League this season, while they have also played the highest percentage of their passes long so far in 2020-21 (19 per cent). They have had 37.5 per cent of the ball so far today.

63'

Mitchell drags back on Trossard and is issued with a yellow card by the referee Stuart Atwell.

61'

Guaita gathers Lamptey's near-post cross. With more than an hour played at Selhurst Park, is it time for Potter to turn to his bench?

60'

Palace centre-back Kouyate is determined to continue, despite barely being able to walk back onto the field! Hodgson will hold off from making a substitution for the time being.

58'

Kouyate injured himself when trying to get the ball off Trossard. The Palace physio is once again on the field and the hosts may well be forced into a change here.

57'

GREAT DEFENDING! Trossard has the chance to shoot first time on his right. Instead he brings it inside on his left and Ward jumps in the way of the ball to block the shot.

56'

Trossard cuts inside and gets a shot away from his left foot around 20 yards out. The ball spins over the bar, with Guaita happy to watch it on its way over.

54'

OFFSIDE! Batshuayi is deemed to have been narrowly offside and the goal is indeed ruled out following a VAR check.That is a big warning for Brighton.

52'

McArthur goes down and stays down, seemingly suffering from a hamstring issue. After receiving some treatment he is okay to continue for now.

50'

CHANCE! This has to go down as a good opportunity for Maupay. Lallana dummies a cross and it runs through to Maupay, who is given time to space but is unable to get enough conviction on his shot from close range. It is another easy one for Guaita.

49'

Guaita and Lamptey are fine to continue after that earlier collision. The second half has started in the same way as the first half ended - Brighton are seeing plenty of the ball without doing much with it.

45'+1'

Brighton need to offer a lot more in the final third if they are to turn this game around in the second period. As for Palace, they have looked comfortable since edging in front but cannot afford to invite too much pressure onto themselves in the second 45.

47'

The onus is on Brighton to find the next goal. Lamptey chases down a diagonal ball but is beaten to it by Guaita, who catches the wing-back in the process.

45'+1'

Palace take a barely-deserved 1-0 lead into half-time against Brighton through Zaha's penalty, awarded for Lamptey's pull on Batshuayi. That is the only shot on target the hosts have managed, while Bissouma blasted into the side netting from arguably the best of the visitors' rare opportunities.

46'

RESTART! Palace, leading through their only shot of any note in the first half, get us back under way in south London. Neither side made any changes at half-time.

45'+1'

HALF-TIME: CRYSTAL PALACE 1-0 BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION

45'

Palace are coping with everything Brighton throw at them so far. One minute has been added on at the end of the first half at Selhurst Park.

43'

Bissouma is booked for bringing down Zaha and halting a Palace counter.

42'

Brighton win a free-kick wide on the left in a good crossing position. March's outswinger is cleared by Ward and Palace look to counter, only for Zaha to by scythed down.

40'

Since Maupay nodded over from a difficult chance 12 minutes ago, neither team has managed to create anything of note. It has not been a classic but Hodgson will not care one bit if it stays like this.

38'

Palace are inviting their opponents onto them but the visitors are struggling to find any gaps at the back. This may well be the theme for the rest of the game.

36'

Lamptey knocks the ball past Mitchell and would have been in behind if not for some great defending from Schlupp to tidy up. Brighton need to make this spell on the ball count for something.

34'

Possession is now split pretty much down the middle, with Palace settling into the game a lot more since edging in front. Brighton still look the more threatening in an attacking sense, but they are struggling to find a way through at the moment.

32'

McArthur goes through the back of Lallana and is given a telling off by the referee. The Palace midfielder apologises to his opponent and play resumes.

31'

Townsend's set-piece delivery is sent into the perfect area on the edge of the six-yard box. Kouyate is waiting for it but Burn gets a vital touch to the ball to put it behind for a corner.

29'

Lamptey's cross is played back into the middle by March with a first-time pass. Maupay does very well to adjust his body and guide a headed effort towards goal, though it is a couple of yards over the bar.

27'

SHOT! Bissouma plays the ball through the lines to Maupay. Palace's centre-backs step off and Maupay turns, drives forward and shoots from range, but the deflected shot is straight at Guaita.

26'

Brighton have lost their rhythm since falling behind to Zaha's penalty. The visitors have had four shots - three more than Palace - but have yet to test opposition keeper Guaita.

24'

Schlupp gets away from a couple of players but is tackled just outside the box. The referee Stuart Atwell feels it was a fair challenge and a goal-kick is awarded.

22'

Not for the first time this season, Brighton's bright play has not been rewarded. Potter's men may need to try a different approach if they are to turn this game around.

21'

Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha has scored more goals against Brighton and Hove Albion in all competitions than he has any other opponent (seven).

19'

Ryan is cautioned for protesting the decision to award a penalty. After a VAR check, though, the decision stands.

19'

GOOOOAAAALLL!!! PALACE 1-0 BRIGHTON!! Zaha sends the ball to the right and Ryan dives to the left. Palace, against the run of play, have a one-goal lead at Selhurst Park!

17'

PENALTY TO PALACE! The hosts have made a slow start but they have a chance to open the scoring from the penalty spot. Townsend sends in a deep cross and Lamptey pulls back on Batshuayi. There is not a whole lot of contact but the referee sees enough to award a penalty.

16'

DRAGGED WIDE! Mitchell gifts possession straight to White. The young defender carries the ball forward a few yards and is invited to shoot, but he is unable to get the effort on target. That is another half-decent chance for the visitors.

14'

March drills in a low cross towards the near post but it is cleared away by Ward. A deeper cross is then sent in by Bissouma and Guaita gets two hands to it.

13'

SIDE NETTING! Guaita slaps a corner into the path of Bissouma and the Brighton midfielder thumps a shot into the side netting from 12 yards. He should be getting that on target, at the very least.

11'

Lamptey initially bursts away from Mitchell but the Palace full-back makes up some ground to cut out the cross. That is going to be a key battle down Brighton's right.

9'

BLOCK! March and Trossard link up down the left. The Belgian crosses into the middle and it falls to Lamptey, but once he finally sets himself for the shot the attempt is blocked.

7'

Brighton have had 69 per cent of the ball in the first seven minutes. There has been just one real shot of any note so far, though - Lallana blazing over in the first couple of minutes.

5'

The visitors are seeing a fair bit of the ball early on. Dunk eventually launches it long and Ward clears it away.

3'

It looks as though it may be a back four for Brighton, albeit one that turns into a back five when transitioning. Burn is being used in a wide position, with March in a more advanced midfield slot.

2'

Lallana picks up the ball between the lines, opens up his body and sends a left-footed shot over the crossbar from 25 yards.

1'

KICK-OFF! Brighton get us up and running in what should be a fiercely-contested match. The visitors have lost only one of their five top-flight away games against Palace.

-

Both sets of players have made their way onto the field and kick-off at Selhurst Park is now just a few minutes away. This game will be played behind closed doors, as will every Premier League fixture for the foreseeable future.

-

Brighton show two changes from their 4-2 loss at Everton before the international break. Burn is handed his first league start of the campaign and Lallana is also recalled to the XI, taking over from benched pair Connolly and Alzate. Albion announced the signing of Danny Welbeck earlier today but he is not included in the matchday squad for this game.

-

Roy Hodgson has made four changes to Palace's starting line-up on the back of the heavy loss to Chelsea. Captain Cahill is handed his first appearance of the season after recovering from injury, while Schlupp, Batshuayi and Riedewald are also included. Sakho and Eze are among those to drop to the bench, which also includes Clyne for the first time since joining.

-

Subs: Aaron Connolly, Jason Steele, Steven Alzate, Pascal Gross, Joel Veltman, Bernardo, Alexis Mac Allister.

-

BRIGHTON XI (3-4-1-2): Mat Ryan; Ben White, Lewis Dunk (c), Adam Webster; Tariq Lamptey, Yves Bissouma, Adam Lallana, Dan Burn; Leandro Trossard, Solly March; Neal Maupay.

-

Subs: Patrick van Aanholt, Nathaniel Clyne, Eberechi Eze, Luka Milivojevic, Christian Benteke, Mamadou Sakho, Stephen Henderson.

-

PALACE XI (4-4-2): Vicente Guaita; Joel Ward, Gary Cahill (c), Cheikhou Kouyate, Tyrick Mitchell; Andros Townsend, James McArthur, Jairo Riedewald, Jeffrey Schlupp; Michy Batshuayi, Wilfried Zaha.

-

Crystal Palace have the oldest average starting XI age in the Premier League this season (29y 89d), while opponents Brighton and Hove Albion have the youngest (24y 326d). With that in mind, let us check our some team news from south London...

-

Some impressive displays from Brighton is not really reflected in their pretty poor points return, meanwhile, as they have lost three and won one of their opening four matches. Graham Potter's side enter this game 16th, three points behind their rivals.

-

After beginning their campaign with back-to-back wins over Southampton and Manchester United, Palace have since lost 2-1 at home to Everton and 4-0 at Chelsea in their last match before the international break.
