Crystal Palace travel to Craven Cottage to face Álvaro Arbeloa's Fulham , who like Palace, are yet to win this season.
Pierre Sage's side continue their search for not only their first points of the season, but also their first goal from open play too. The next four games provide a favourable run for Palace , and getting a win at the Cottage this afternoon would be the perfect way to start the next month.

78' 2-3 GOOOALLL PALACEEE Ben Chilwell makes it 2-3 to Palace with a superb finish. Pino passes superbly to Strand Larsen, his hold up and link up play with Khalaili is excellent and the latter is played in behind where his shot is blocked, but falls to Chilwell who slams a volley into the net.

54' 2-2 GOALLL PAAAALLAACEEE Tyrick Mitchell once again! Bizarre goal, crossed from Mitchell again but blocked and rolls back to him. He stabs an effort towards goal and somehow it trickles over the line.

Jørgen Strand Larsen replaces Eddie Nketiah at halftime.
HALFTIME - FULHAM 2-1 PALACE
42' 2-1 GOAL FULHAM. Josh King leaves Richards for dead down the left wing and drives into the box, cuts back to Garcia whose flicked shot is saved incredibly by Henderson, but into the path of César Palacios who finishes from close range to reestablish the host's lead.
38' 1-1 Good chance for Fulham at the other end but Robinson fires wide of the top right-hand corner.

34' 1-0 Another chance squandered for Palace. Kamada makes a great run and is played in behind but his cut back pass is intercepted by Andersen.
33' 1-0 A scramble inside the box from a free kick sees the ball almost fall to Nketiah twice but the offside flag rules the chance out.
30' 1-0. Palace struggling to get out here. No outlet on the break, Nketiah isn't offering much of a target to hit and the clearances are rushed. Feels very easy for Fulham so far.

23' 1-0. Pino puts another excellent cross into the box but Nketiah can't finish one on one with Leno. Fulham go up the other end and Iwobi's shot is blocked by Disasi.
22' 1-0. Mitchell wins the ball high in the Fulham half and sets it to Timber whose long range effort bounces wide of the post.
20' 1-0. Anan Khalaili controls a superb long pass from Pino, cuts inside and drills a left-footed strike towards goal, but he can't keep it the right side of the post. \
18' 1-0 HUGE CHANCE MISSED. A corner is worked towards the box and Disasi controls to set up Richards who curls an effort towards the bottom right corner but Leno gets down to it.

15' 1-0 GOAL DISALLOWED. After a VAR review, the goal is disallowed for a marginal offside in the buildup. Sigh.
13' 1-1 GOAL PALACE. Instant response for Palace. Daichi Kamada releases Mitchell down the left and makes a driving run into the box. Mitchell lays back to Pino, who crosses with the outside of his right boot and Kamada steps onto it and finishes delicately beyond Bernd Leno!
11' 1-0 GOAL FULHAM. The hosts open the scoring. A poor pass out from the back from Canvot is intercepted and Fulham break, the ball falls to King on the edge of the box, he carries left and fires a goal bound effort which deflects beyond Henderson. Palace have now conceded 7 goals already this season.
10' 0-0 Joachim Andersen slides and blocks a through ball with his arms but the referee, who is stood four yards away says play on. Quinten Timber then regains possession and makes a nice turn to win a foul.

8' 0-0 Really nice forward play from Palace, good fluidity between Pino, Kamada, Mitchell and Wharton. Fulham defend the chance.
5' 0-0 First corner of the game is wasted by Fulham. Nketiah seems to be giving Bassey some problems already with his physicality.
4' 0-0 First chance of the game falls to Fulham, Castagne fires high and wide after a good pass from Joachim Andersen.
1' 0-0 We're underway at Craven Cottage! Come on you Palace!!!

Chilean winger Darío Osorio has been selected for the Palace squad for the first time since signing on Deadline Day on Tuesday!
14:00 - Evan Guessand Absent
After being omitted from Pierre Sage's Europa League squad, Evann Guessand missed out on the full squad for Palace's trip to Fulham. Rumours suggesting that his loan move could be terminated, surely unlikely.
