Crystal Palace vs Wolverhampton Wanderers LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League today.
The Eagles have only won one of the last five - but one of the top flight’s draw specialists have also only lost once in that run too, as Patrick Vieira’s side struggle to quite put the finishing touches in some games where performances have been improved of late. They drew 0-0 with bottom three side Leicester last time out, which highlights how they have fallen frustratingly short.
Wolves, meanwhile, are still without a permanent manager and they are only one point and place outside the relegation zone themselves. They did beat bottom side Nottingham Forest last time out, courtesy of a Ruben Neves penalty and a Jose Sa penalty save - but much more is required after scoring only four times this season.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Palace - Guaita, Ward, Guehi, Andersen, Mitchell, Doucoure, Schlupp, Eze, Olise, Edouard, Zaha

They may have conceded first through a Traore header in the first half, but Palace dug deep and were on it from the moment they came back out of the tunnel. Eze scored for the hosts a minute after half-time with a bouncing header going past Jose Sa, and the main man himself, Zaha, scored the winner, perfectly placing his shot to seal the victory.

Doucoure is receiving treatment after seemingly stretching his hamstring. Something also seems to be happening on the sidelines as well, as some of the Palace fans boo Costa, who is up from the bench and looking confused.

Some good build-up play from Palace ends up with Olise flicking the ball towards Edouard with the inside of his boot. The striker goes for the bycicle kick shot, but it's wide off the near post.

It was all Crystal Palace in the opening minutes, but Wolves defended well. And when the chance came, the away team took it, catching Palace out of position as Adama Traore headed the sole goal of the half in the 31st minute. From then on, the match became quite scrappy as Palace looked to equalise quickly. They just couldn't find the spaces in Wolves' backline, and with boos ringing out during the half-time whistle, they'll have their work cut out for them in the second 45 minutes.

For Wolves, Collins has now served his three-game ban after his red card against Manchester City and is back in the starting XI alongside Kilman in central defence. Rayan Ait-Nouri is not in the squad, surprisingly, meaning there may have been a last-minute fitness issue.
