It's in! Crystal Palace equalise!
7'

67'

77'
Substitution

77'
CAMPBELL FOR JOHNSON
Luka Milivojevic gives away possession to Papa Alioune N'Diaye, who opts to play the pass to Xherdan Shaqiri. Unfortunately for him, Shaqiri is in a blatantly offside position. Tyrese Campbell is on for the hosts in place of Glen Johnson as the home team throw caution to the wind.

43'
Goal

45'
HALF-TIME REPORT
Stoke City are fighting to maintain their Premier League status as they take a 1-0 lead into half time. Xherdan Shaqiri's deflected free-kick just before the interval has given the Potters a vital advantage in a match they must win to keep up any real chances of avodiing the drop.

42'
FREE-KICK STOKE

90'
FULL-TIME REPORT
Stoke City have been relegated from the Premier League after a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace. The day started off so well for Paul Lambert's side when Xherdan Shaqiri's sensational free-kick curled into the top corner of goal just before the break. But the Potters looked increasingly nervous as the game went on and conceded an equaliser through James McArthur with 20 minutes to go. A point wouldn't have been much good for Stoke either so they continued to push forward, but ended up losing the game as a fluffed Ryan Shawcross backpass allowed Patrick Van Aanholt to win it for the visitors, who are now safe themselves.
90'
FULL-TIME WHISTLE

29'
SLIGHT PAUSE

18'
PALACE ON TOP
Crystal Palace have established themselves as the better team in this game now and Stoke are struggling to get a touch. The hosts look nervy.
15'
ZAHA WIDE
There's another good chance for Palace. Wilfried Zaha flashes a shot across the face of goal on the angle but it's comfortably wide of the far post. Stoke are living dangerously.
12'
BREATHLESS START
It's end-to-end stuff at the bet365 Stadium, with both teams starting the game at a great tempo.
10'
BRIGHT BAUER
Moritz Bauer has been a bright spark for Stoke early on. He prods back from the byline but Wayne Hennessey is well-positioned to gobble up the ball.
2'
LOFTUS-CHEEK PASS
Crystal Palace go on the front foot early on as Ruben Loftus-Cheek tries to find James McArthur with a diagonal through-ball but it has too much on it for the Scot.

MATCH PREVIEW
Stoke City know they must beat Crystal Palace at the bet365 Stadium in Saturday's early kick-off to have any chance of avoiding relegation from the Premier League. The Potters are second from bottom and three points adrift of 17th-placed Swansea City, who have an extra game in hand over Paul Lambert's side. Stoke have drawn their last three fixtures in an impressive display of resistance, but a single point will no longer be of any use. Meanwhile, Palace may well have expected to be in Stoke's position themselves come May if they were asked back at the start of the campaign. Having not scored a single goal after their first seven Premier League matches, the Eagles looked doomed. But Roy Hodgson has secured the club's safety with two games to spare, and a top-half finish is still not out of reach.
