Follow all the action as Crystal Palace host Tottenham in the Premier League’s early kick-off this afternoon.

Spurs sit top of the Premier League with a perfect record this season, having defeated Manchester City, Wolves and Watford thus far, but will have to make do without Cristian Romero, Giovani Lo Celso and Davinson Sanchez, who are all unavailable after travelling to South America during the international break. There are also doubts over the fitness of Son Heung-min and Oliver Skipp, with Nuno Espirito Santo likely to be forced into several changes as he aims to continue the brilliant start to his tenure.

There has been less cause for celebration for Patrick Vieira, who has taken two points from his first three games in charge at Crystal Palace. There were clear signs of improvement against West Ham before the break, though, as Conor Gallagher scored twice, while new signings Odsonne Edouard and Michael Olise could make their debuts. Follow all the action live below:

PENALTY! Spot-kick for Palace after Davies handball

74’ - Ben Davies’ arm is out-stretched as he blocks a Conor Gallagher cross and that is a definite penalty.

VAR confirms.

Ball cleared off the line by Reguilon

74’ - Tyrick Mitchell lifts a cross towards the far post which beats Hugo Lloris and looks to be dropping into the net unaided before Sergio Reguilon somehow manages to position himself in a way which allows him to head it wide for a corner-kick.

All Palace since Tanganga red card

72’ - Patrick Vieira’s 11 men are enjoying pretty much all of the possession now but Spurs seem to have settled into a resolute shape fairly well, with Joe Rodon in particular impressing ever since he replaced Eric Dier early in the first-half.

Nuno Espirito Santo will be pleased if they can continue defending like this for the final twenty minutes or so.

First Palace change in midfield alteration

66’ - Luka Milivoijevic is on for the home side as a replacement for Chiekhou Kouyaté, who has put a good shift in at the centre of the park.

Brilliant Alli block stops Ayew

65’ - Zaha has had the beating of Emerson Royal all afternoon and manages it once again, clipping a cross towards the unmarked Jordan Ayew at the far post.

The ball takes an age to settle and by the time the Ghanaian can strike it Dele Alli has steamed into his path to make a superb block.

Ben Davies comes on to shore up the backline

58’ - Ben Davies is replacing Harry Winks to create an all -Welsh centre-half pairing for Spurs alongside Joe Rodon.

They’re now playing a 4-4-1 formation of sorts with only one substitution remaining.

RED CARD! Japhet Tanganga sent off for Spurs

57’ - Japhet Tanganga has been sent off by Jon Moss for a second bookable offence after flying into a late challenge on Jordan Ayew.

The incident with Zaha and the atmosphere seems to have got to the young defender’s head and he’s paying the price now.

Tanganga and Zaha booked for clash after foul

52’ - Japhet Tanganga clears out Wilfried Zaha with a ruthless foul by shoving him to the ground as the Eagles counter and the Ivorian takes exception to the challenge, pushing and shoving the Spurs defender before players from both sides get themselves involved.

Both players are booked and Palace have a free-kick in a good area, but Conor Gallagher clips it out for a goal-kick.

Palace penalty claim as Gallagher shot blocked

50’ - Crystal Palace fans are shouting for a penalty as Conor Gallagher’s volley from ten yards out is blocked by Joe Rodon but the Welshman’s hand was nowhere near the ball when it made contact.

This second-half has already had so much more action than the entirety of the first.

Tottenham start second-half quickly and have first shot at goal

48’ - Spurs have already looked brighter in this half and gave played two nice through ball into the full-backs along the edge of the penalty area, which is more than they managed at any point before the break.

They managed their first shot of the match so far at the end of that passage of play, with Vicente Guaita saving comfortably from Lucas Moura.
