Crystal Palace vs Man Utd LIVE: Premier League result as Martinez escapes red card after controversial tackle

53 mins

Palace have some respite as Eze wins a free-kick near halfway, but they lose it again too quickly.

52 mins

Another United attack floods forward, with Mainoo setting it to Fernandes, who exchanges passes with Zirkzee before bending an effort wide of the near post with the outside of his foot.

50 mins

United attack again, this time led by Diallo, and he cuts inside before curling an effort towards the far corner, but it goes narrowly over the crossbar via a deflection.

From the corner, United try a routine but Fernandes scuffs his effort.

47 mins

There’s pinball in the box for the corner but the handball is given, and it’ll be a United free-kick.

United set up an attack and Fernandes almost sets Diallo clean through, but the winger couldn’t get it under control.

Moments later, Fernandes tries to bend in an early cross, but Garnacho can’t get onto the end of it.

Will those changes bring the results Palace and Glasner want? It’s certainly a big call to take off two of his most effective players.

It does almost work out too, as Eze and Sarr combine before the former’s cross is put behind for a corner.

United get the second half started.

Palace have brought on Sarr and Jefferson Lerma for Adam Wharton and Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Palace are getting ready to bring on Ismaila Sarr as the two teams come back out at Selhurst Park.

United have been impressive in how they’ve controlled the game so far – can they put the final touches on an accomplished performance so far?

So, no goals so far but we’ve come pretty close, with both Fernandes and Garnacho hitting the bar and Zirkzee and de Ligt forcing good saves from Henderson.

Some good chances from the away side, though they’ve been guilty of being a little pedestrian at times, with only Garnacho really making the required runs in-behind.

Palace’s only chance came from a well-worked move that ended with Eze fizzing in a shot, but he perhaps didn’t know how much time he had.

We’re in for an interesting second half!

The referee blows the whistle for half-time, and the two teams go in level at the break.

United were certainly the better of the two teams, but might they come to rue those missed chances?

Palace grew into the game and had the best period of the game in the final few minutes, but they’ll need to be better in the second half.
