Good evening and welcome to LIVE text commentary of the Premier League clash between Crystal Palace and Sunderland at Selhurst Park. Kick off 8pm GMT.

Zaha wins a corner with some good work down the right.

Some thoughts via @Kodjattson on Twitter.

Palace peppering the Sunderland box with some dangerous crosses. The visitors are holding their own at present but Warnock's men pose a real threat in that attacking third.

A quiet start for Zaha!

Bolasie clips a clever ball in to Campbell just inside the area but the striker's touch fails him at the wrong moment and Sunderland survive.

The free kick is angled to the far left of the area but Santiago Vergini does well to flick a header to safety.

Cattermole crunches into Chamakh from the side and it's a free kick to Palace 40-45 yards out.

STAT: Since the beginning of last season, nine of Crystal Palace’s 15 Premier League wins (60%) have come at Selhurst Park.

A Palace free kick is hoisted into the visitors' area but Pantilimon comes and claims. He's looked very assured thus far. Just what that shaky defence needs.

Sunderland have started to get their foot on the ball a bit more now. In the very early exchanges they looked like they may get blown away.

Gomez curls the free kick into the wall. If he'd got an inch or two more height on that he'd have really troubled Speroni.

Joel Ward trips Will Buckley 25 yards from goal and suddenly it's Sunderland who look threatening.

Bolasie whips a deflected ball into the mix but Pantilimon shows good hands to claim it underneath his own crossbar.

STAT: Crystal Palace have won their last four home games in all competitions against Sunderland.

Palace looking very lively early doors.

Almost the perfect start for the home fans.

PENALTY CLAIM! Campbell races onto a flick on from Chamakh and surges towards goal. He gets clipped by a desperate leg and goes down. The referee waves it away, but it looked like a great shout!

KICK OFF! Palace get us up and running.

The Eagles’ last three Premier League games on a Monday have produced 17 goals in total, including last season’s incredible recovery in the 3-3 draw with Liverpool. However, Palace failed to win any of those games (D1 L2).

A stat to support Poyet's decision to make a switch between the sticks... However, only Robert Green (32) has been forced to make more saves than Mannone (30) this season.
