90'
FULL-TIME
The second half comes to a close and Palace have the win. They trim the gap between themselves and Huddersfield to just a point with that victory and you have to say they deserved it today. Thanks for joining us.
90'
WAKE UP
Yohan Cabaye tests whether Jonas Lossl is still paying attention with a rasping drive. The Huddersfield keeper is equal to it and makes the save.
90'
STOPPAGE TIME
We're into stoppage time now. Palace are moments away from a huge three points here.
89'
Substitution
Ruben Loftus-Cheek (on). Wilfried Zaha (off). (Crystal Palace)
9'
BENTEKE
Christian Benteke has started well for Palace. The Big Belgian was ommitted from his national side this week, and may well feel he has a point to prove.
88'
OVERHEAD
Steve Mounie tries an overhead kick but he's closer to overhead traffic than the goal with that one. Not that there are likely to be many planes flying through these conditions, but you know what I mean.
86'
HOME DEFEAT
Van la Parra flashes an effort wide as we rumble on towards 90 minutes and a home defeat for Huddersfield. They have three home fixtures remaining after this one, and they will hope for an improved performance in those.
84'
ZAHA
Christopher Schindler is booked now, for a foul on guess who? Wilfried Zaha. The Palace winger is just too good for Huddersfield, according to the Palace fans at least, who delight in taunting their opposition as we near confirmation of what will be a great result for their side.
83'
Yellow Card
Christopher Schindler (Huddersfield Town)
82'
AT LAST
With only ten minutes of the game to go, Rajiv Van la Parra finally registers Huddersfield's first shot on target. The home side's fans muster some ironic cheers as his reasonably struck effort nestles in the waiting arms of Wayne Hennessey.
80'
Yellow Card
Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Crystal Palace)
79'
BOOKED
Aaron Mooy is the latest name in the referee's notebook. The Australian international went through Zaha like a train there and deserved his booking. Both he and Jonathan Hogg have been booked for challenges on Zaha today, indicative of the latter's influence on the game.
78'
Yellow Card
Aaron Mooy (Huddersfield Town)
8'
FREE-KICK
A lovely free-kick from Luka Milivojevic almost opens the scoring for Palace. The effort was nonchalant in the extreme and almost curled in to the top corner with Lossl scrambling.
77'
BLIZZARD
Conditions really are horrendous at the moment in Yorkshire, making it all the more difficult for the players to get anything going. Palace only have five clean sheets all season and the weather isn't helping them towards achieving a sixth although they are hanging on at the moment.
74'
DRIFTING
The snow blusters in again and it looks like Huddersfield who are set to be cut adrift in this one. James McArthur almost makes it three for Palace but his floating header just drops wide of the far post after more great work from Wan-Bissaka.
71'
Substitution
Elias Kachunga (on). Alex Pritchard (off). (Huddersfield Town)
71'
FINAL ROLL
With 20 minutes to go, Huddersfield make their final change, Elias Kachunga coming on in place of Alex Pritchard. That's the final roll of the dice for David Wagner now as he desperately searches for a way back into this game. You have to say, it doesn't look likely.
70'
Yellow Card
Jonathan Hogg (Huddersfield Town)
68'
Penalty Kick - Goal
Penalty Kick - Goal - Luka Milivojevic (Crystal Palace)
68'
DOUBLE UP
Zanka's earlier challenge on Benteke was debatable and he escaped, but there could be no doubt with that challenge, the centre-half slicing down Townsend in the box and Mike Dean will rarely have so easy a decision to make. That could well be game over.
67'
PENALTY
This time, Mathias Zanka is penalised by Mike Dean and it's a penalty for Palace!
65'
SHOT SHY
That missed effort was Huddersfield's first strike on goal of the entire game. They cannot afford to continue to be so shot-shy if they hope to get anything out of this one.
64'
SIDE-NET
With an hour gone, it's Palace who are very much in the ascendancy, and they look a good bet to cut the gap between themselves and Huddersfield to just a point. However, it perhaps wouldn't be prudent to count Huddersfield out yet, as Mounie smacks a shot into the side-netting.
62'
ALMOST TWO
Crystal Palace, and James Tomkins, almost had a second there but for the timely intervention of Steve Mounie, who clears the centre-back's goalbound effort off the line. Huddersfield survive, but that was almost another example of just how poor they are when it comes to defending corners.
61'
Substitution
Rajiv Van la Parra (on). Tom Ince (off). (Huddersfield Town)
59'
SUB?
That tumble may well be Tom Ince's last contribution to the game, with Rajiv Van la Parra warming up on the touchline.
58'
Yellow Card
Yohan Cabaye (Crystal Palace)
58'
DEAN
Mike Dean is becoming a target for the home fans frustrations now, with a series of decisions not going the way they would like. The referee does go to his book now though, to show Cabaye a yellow card after a poor tackle on Ince.
6'
MOUNIE
A Mounie cross clips the top of the crossbar - he didn't intend that. Wayne Hennessey looked untroubled but that could have been an embarassing moment for Palace.
53'
NOTHING DOING
The second half has started in much the same vein as the first half ended, with Huddersfield pouring on the pressure to no avail. The home fans are desperate for more from their side.
50'
SEASONS
We've had all four seasons in a day here, with the snow lifting temporarily and the sun peeking through the clouds. Neutrals watching this game will hope that the football is just as unpredictable as the weather.
47'
SNOW JOKE
It's snow joke here in Yorkshire at the moment, the weather positively Arctic as we begin the second period. This will surely have an impact on the play.
46'
Substitution
Chris Lowe (on). Scott Malone (off). (Huddersfield Town)
46'
FLURRY
We're underway once more in blizzard conditions.
42'
LET-OFF
With all the pressure Huddersfield are applying, they make it more likely they could be caught out on the break. Palace almost do just that, with Patrick Van Aanholt finding Benteke, who lays it off for Townsend to fire goalwards. His effort flies wide but that was perhaps a let-off for Huddersfield.
39'
PRESSURE
Huddersfield are firing ball after ball into the Palace box now, with the away side struggling to clear convincingly. The ball has barely left their half in the last ten minutes.
36'
TEN LEFT
With ten minutes to go before half-time, Huddersfield are stepping things up a bit. Palace look equal to it though, for the moment at least.
33'
FRUSTRATION
The home fans are starting to show a little frustration with their players here now. They want to see a little more from those in a blue and white shirt and who can blame them.
31'
PALACE ON TOP
Roy Hodgson may not look it but he will be delighted with his side's start here. With half an hour gone, Palace are on top and deserve to be leading.
29'
STATS
That Tomkins goal is his second of the season, and makes this Palace's eighth consecutive game away from home with at least one goal. That is remarkable when you consider they previously went on a goalless run of ten away matches.
26'
UPHILL
An alarming statistic for Terriers fans is that their side has not managed to come back to win a game from a losing position all season. They have only managed one point from a defecit all term, and they are up against it early here now.
24'
CORNER TROUBLE
Huddersfield haven't looked confident when dealing with crosses and corners so far and this one is no different, Luka Milivojevic's centre finding an unmarked Tomkins six yards out. The centre-half's first effort is saved, but he reacts quickest and stabs home to give the Eagles the lead.
23'
Goal
James Tomkins (Crystal Palace)
23'
GOOOAAALLL!!!
It's 1-0 and JAMES TOMKINS gives Palace the lead!
3'
CORNER
Wilfried Zaha is the next to win a corner, his goalbound effort deflected over by Schindler.
21'
Substitution
Yohan Cabaye (on). Jeff Schlupp (off). (Crystal Palace)
45'
STOPPAGES
We are almost into stoppage time now, can Huddersfield find a vital breakthrough before the half?
45'
HALF-TIME
The whistle goes and at the break, Palace lead by one goal to nil.
20'
GAME'S SCHLUPP
Jeff Schlupp is down and it looks like his afternoon may be over. Yohan Cabaye will be the man to replace him. Palace just can't catch a break at the moment with regards to injuries.
17'
ONLY WAN-BISSAKA
A cracking challenge from Aaron Wan-Bissaka disposesses Tom Ince. the young Palace right-back has looked impressive since earning a place in the three games ago.
15'
15 GONE
With quarter of an hour gone, this game is shaping up to be pretty compelling fair.
12'
JEKYLL AND SAKHO
Mamadou Sakho shows both his good and bad sides within ten seconds. He gave the ball away with a dreadful pass, before charging back to recover with a super challenge. Dodgy stuff from the Frenchman.
2'
BRIGHT
It's a bright start for Palace, Andros Townsend beating Scott Malone and winning a corner after his cross is deflected behind. The corner falls to an unmarked James McArthur but he can't get a shot in and Huddersfield clear.
1'
UNDERWAY
We're off in this one. A win for either side today would go a long way towards easing relegation fears. Huddersfield are better placed, four points above the drop, whereas Palace are right in the mix, 18th place and one point from safety.
