Hello everyone, this game will also be screened on the Palace site. Last time, people were having trouble loading the site after kick-off, but those of us who had started the stream earlier didn't have any interruptions, so it's probably a good idea to open the stream as early as possible even if you're not watching.

Palace starting XI: Hennessey, Wan-Bissaka, Tomkins, Sakho (captain), Van Aanholt, Townsend, McArthur, Riedewald, Schlupp, Sørloth, Benteke.

Substitutes: Speroni, Ward, Kelly, Souare, Jack, Puncheon, Lokilo, Williams, Kaikai.

Roy says that Wilf has had to go home to deal with a family matter.

Roy said in an interview that he would start our current strongest 11. The squad is so thin that this line-up doesn't reveal much of interest, other than that Wan-Bissaka is ahead of Ward. Where Guiata is, I have no idea.

Really hope that I'm wrong, but I think we're about to get some money to spend.

Noce goal from Benteke! Wouldn't have done that last season. Hopefully he'll have a much better season.

1-1 now. Poor defending!

He went off in shock!
Can we win without Wilf!
