Crystal Palace's late show earned a deserved 2-0 win at Wolves.

Jordan Ayew and Luka Milivojevic, from the penalty spot, scored in the final seven minutes to ease Palace's goal woes.

The Eagles' loan pursuit of Liverpool's Dominic Solanke looks over with doubts over his fitness while Wilfried Zaha stretched his goal drought to 14 games.

Wolves are chasing Chelsea's Tammy Abraham, currently on loan at Aston Villa, and both teams showed why they needed fresh firepower in a forgettable game. Re-live the action below:

Player to watch

Wilfried Zaha: As one of the best dribblers in the league, Zaha is an absolute nightmare for any defender and is a vital aspect of Hodgson’s team. Despite the result, he looked bright against Chelsea last weekend and made a number of powerful runs and if he’s on his game this evening, he could definitely help his side leave with something.

Odds

Wolves to win: 21/20

Palace to win: 16/5

Draw: 11/5

Prediction

Wolves 1-1 Crystal Palace: Wolves have been brilliant all season against the top six sides but have let themselves down at times against the lower teams. Nevertheless, they sit in a great position just six points off Manchester United. Palace are a threat though when they’re on their game which I think they might be, I’m going for a draw

GOAL! West Ham 0-2 Brighton (Shane Duffy, 58 minutes)

It's two!

Again a corner causes havoc in the West Ham box, and Shane Duffy is waiting at the far post to control and volley in in fine fashion.

Good stuff from the big centre-half.

The second half has begun in the two later kick-offs. 0-0 at St James' Park, 3-3 at the Vitality Stadium.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United, 46 minutes

A handball from Victor Lindelof sees the Manchester United defender cautioned by Andre Marriner.

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 21:04

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United, 48 minutes

A somewhat muted beginning to the second half. It has been scrappy since the players returned from the interval.

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 21:06

​Chelsea 0-0 Southampton, 62 minutes

It remains goalless at Stamford Bridge, and Chelsea haven't exactly been banging on the Southampton door.

Maurizio Sarri's side have been lacking in creativity. Half-an-hour to find a goal.

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 21:09

​GOAL! West Ham 1-2 Brighton (Marko Arnautovic, 66 minutes)

West Ham get one back!

Marko Arnautovic is, of course, the man to get them back in it. 

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 21:09

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United, 52 minutes

Mohamed Diame's knock picked up late in the first half has not fully recovered, and he will have to trudge off.

Jonjo Shelvey on in his place.

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 21:12

GOAL! West Ham 2-2 Brighton (Marko Arnautovic, 68 minutes)

​Two in two minutes for Marko Arnautovic!

Michail Antonio has had an impact from the bench for West Ham and it is from his cutback that Marko Arnautovic finds the back of the net in fine fashion.

West Ham level, and pushing for all three points at home.

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 21:12

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United, 58 minutes

Another left-footed drive from Christian Atsu, this time from slightly further afield, but again it isn't quite good enough, skipping some distance wide of David De Gea's left-hand post.

Atsu has promised much tonight, but, as it has throughout of his career, his final ball and finishing has been lacking.

GOAL! Huddersfield 1-2 Burnley (Ashley Barnes, 74 minutes)

Burnley with a crucial goal in the relegation six-pointer!

An Ashley Westwood ball bisects a pair of Huddersfield defenders to free Barnes, who makes no mistake, beating Jonas Lossl and sending Burnley into the lead.
