That is all we have time for on Tribe as Crystal Palace strike late on to earn a point. I have been Elliot Thompson, and thank you for joining me. Stay with us on Tribe for more live Premier League coverage as Brighton host Arsenal. Kick-off there is in around 25 minutes time.
Crystal Palace gave their fans a great performance against one of the big boys. The fans clearly appreciated that as even when the final whilst went, they carried on singing their hearts out. The first half was far from promising, as they gave up so many chances. However, Oliver Glasner changed that around as he made sure Palace were on the front foot with their fantastic pressing. They robbed Palmer in possession to start the move for the goal. Sarr ran towards the Chelsea defence before sliding Eze in. Eze didn't take the shot on as he squared it to Mateta for a tap-in. If Eze had finished off his massive chance at the beginning of the half, Mateta's goal could have been a winner. Nevertheless, Palace will be pleased with a point as they are now six points clear of the drop. They host Stockport County next in the FA Cup third round.
CHELSEA GO FOUR GAMES WITHOUT A WIN AT SELHURST PARK! Enzo Maresca would have been pleased at half-time, but he will be annoyed now. His side just seemed to stop playing good attacking football in the second half, even though they did throughout the first 45 minutes. Their goal came from some great play by Sancho down the left wing. He passed the ball into the box, finding Palmer, who took a touch before slotting home. Jackson had a couple of great chances, whilst Acheampong also came very close from a header. They were knocking the ball about with such fluidity, but that stopped in the second half. Palace were pressing them high, and that is how they conceded. Palace made sure that Chelsea couldn't cope, and they wre arguably the better side. That draw means they are only a point ahead of Newcastle now. Next up for them is FA Cup action at Stamford Bridge, where they host Morecambe.

SAVE! Lerma sends in a long throw on the right wing. It is flicked onto the back post, but Gusto is there to clear. The ball comes out to Lacroix. The crowd shots shoot, so he obliges from around 30 yards out. He takes one touch and fires a shot down the throat of Sanchez. He holds comfortably.
90+1'
Kamada drags Caicedo down as he tries to run forward on the right wing. The referee thinks about it then gives the free-kick. Palmer comes over to take it. He sends in a poor cross, which Sarr heads away with relative ease. The ball comes back to Sanchez, who is put under pressure by Nketiah.

APPEALS FOR A RED CARD! Fernandez presses Kamada high up the pitch. Kamada passes the ball forward, but Fernandez still makes contact with a late challenge. The Palace players are adamant it should be a second yellow card. The referee isn't interested.

Oliver Glasner has also made a change in an attacking area. Eze has come off for Eddie Nketiah so Palace are going for the winner here with another striker.
