Crystal Palace vs Fulham
Fulham had the better chances against Palace but couldn't find a way through Johnstone, with the game ending goalless. The former Aston Villa goalkeeper denied Pereira inside the first three minutes before getting across his line to push Willian's whipped effort around the post later in the half. Jimenez also had a one-on-one opportunity, but the goalkeeper made himself big to block his attempt. They then went close to opening the scoring but squandered an opportunity. Cordova-Reid found Jimenez in the box, but he looked for a pass rather than a shot, with the ball rolling out for a goal-kick. Johnstone saved another shot from Willian, with Mateta having Palace's best chance. He escaped the defence but struck his effort into the gloves of Leno.

Fulham have a late chance to score a winner. Robinson breaks forward with the ball and has options ahead of him, but waits for too long to thread a throughball into Vinicius, with the striker running offside.

Eze delicately chips the ball over Fulham's defence and into the path of Mateta, who is forced down the left. He then flashes a cross into Edouard, but the flag goes up for offside.

Eze's inswinging corner from the left is cleared away. Fulham almost get a chance to break away on the counter after a poor pass from Doucoure, but Hughes slides across to stop them from getting forward.

CHANCE! Eze spots the run of Mateta, who breaks free of Fuham's defence and rushes into the box. He collects the ball well and looks to drive a shot across the goal and into the bottom corner, but his attempt is tame. Leno gets down and makes a simple stop.

Mitchell breaks free on the left and floats a cross to the back on the box. Ayew makes a darting run to get onto the end of it and looks to have a free header, but Robinson makes a vital intervention.
