Follow live coverage as Fulham face Crystal Palace today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.

The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.

Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Fulham FC 0 - 2 Crystal Palace FC

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

17:02

It ends 2-0 for Crystal Palace, who get a goal in either half to come out on top in this London derby, and put an end to their six-game winless run against Fulham. On the balance of play, the vicotry is certainly merited for the visitors, who looked more dangerous when they were attacking. Fulham will have to disappointed with their performance, as they ended up with zero shots on target throughout the match. Both sides ended up with 10 attempts in the game, but half of Palace's were on target. Nevertheless, Palace will come away with three points. They finished with an xG of 1.22 to Fulham's 0.23. That is all we have for you today. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to tune into this live text commentary. All the best, and until next time.

FULL-TIME: FULHAM 0-2 CRYSTAL PALACE

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:59

Willian gets a chance off the corner, as the ball falls to the Brazilian outside of the box. His attempt is deflected onto Lukic, and is easily grabbed by Henderson.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:56

And that was the chance for the hosts, as a great free-kick is missed by Jimenez, and as a result, it goes straight to Henderson. The Mexican just needed something on the ball, and things could have been very different.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:55

Bassey is brought down by Mateta, with the referee blowing for a Fulham free-kick. Can they finally create something?

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:52

Anderson tries to pick out Diop in the box, but Henderson is again there to claim the ball, ending another Fulham attack.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:50

Eze, who had a great match today, is taken off and is replaced by Devenny.

Substitution William James Hughes

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:48

Jimenez tried to get a ball into the box, but Henderson comes out and comfortably gathers the cross.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:47

Going into the final five minutes, Fulham have still failed to get an attempt on target. That will be something Silva will be very disappoitned in, if anything. There are still a few minutes to change that, but it is still not a good look.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:45

Hughes is given a yellow card for his challenge on Muniz.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:40

Castagne also makes way as part of the Fulham triple change. Coming on in his stead is Diop.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:40

Substitution Jefferson Andrés Lerma Solís Adam James Wharton

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:40

Iwobi is sacrificed for Fulham, as he is replacted by Muniz.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:40

Fulham are running out of time. Through 77 minutes, they have failed to have a shot on target. Henderson has largely been a spectator in this one, something Fulham will need to work on over the final 12 minutes plus stoppage time.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:35

Kamada comes on for Sarr as the Japanese international looks to help close the game out for his team.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:35

Fulham get the ball back very quickly, and after Castagne's cross is blocked, it falls to Andersen, who blasts his attempt over the bar and out for a Palace goal-kick.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:34

Iwobi plays it across to Jimenez, who tries an audacious volley from inside the D, but he slices it off Pereira and out for a Palace goal-kick.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:34

Palace continue to break through the Fulham defence, as Sarr finds Mateta, as the latter goes one-on-one with Leno. The goalkeeper is able to keep himself big, denying the Frenchman.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:31

Robinson tries to get the ball off Sarr, but cannot do so, fouling the Palace attacker. The Fulham skipper gets away with no booking, but can surely not do itagain.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:29

Guehi goes into the referee's book as he tackles Traore from behind.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:29

Crystal Palace still look dangerous, and could very well add to their advantage. Fulham started the second half well, but have regressed over the last 10 minutes.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:26

Assist Jean-Philippe Mateta

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:24

Palace go the other way with a decent chance of their own. Eze tries to play a pass with the outside of his boot to Mateta, but puts a bit too much on it, and Leno is able to gather.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:24

Traore is played in by Pereira and tries to whip in a cross to a team-mate. It was always a tight angle for the Spaniard, but it is a comfortable save for Henderson.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:21

Palace nearly score off another corner. Hughes plays a lovely ball into the box, with Lacroix hitting a bullet header towards goal. Leno deny the centre-back from adding a secnod, with the follow-up effort being blocked and goes out for a second Palace corner. A really big chance there.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:20

Cairney is the other player to come on, as the midfielder replaces Berge.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:20

It is a double change for Fulham. As expected, Smith Rowe is taken off. This time, he is replaced by Pereira.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:17

It is a lovely play from Crystal Palace, wih Eze playing a brilliant backheel pass to Mateta, who converts it past Leno. After the VAR had a look, the referee overturns his original decision of a goal, as Mateta was offside.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:15

Assist Eberechi Oluchi Eze

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:15

Lacroix, who has not gotten a foot wrong all match, does incredibly well to get back and challenge to deny Jimenez a shot.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:14

The game continues, and it definitely looks like Fulham are indeed forced into a change here, which should come in a moment.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:12

Smith Rowe is back on the ground, and is need of assistance. This might be his race run, having also gone down with a knock in the first half.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:10

Jimenez flicks a short corner, but had his attempt blocked and out for a second corner for the home side. It could have been a decent chance there, as the flick-on could have been dangerous.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:08

Jimenez has several team-mates in the box but the striker is unable to get the ball across. The ball is blocked out for a Fulham corner.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

16:06

And off we go with the second half. Can Fulham turn things around, or will Palace hold on for a pivotal three points? Stick around and find out.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:53

Silva will certainly want to consider making some tweaks to his Fulham side at the break, as they are simply not creating enough in an attacking sense. They are also being outworked by Palace, who look hungrier so far. Whether the Portuguese coach makes the right adjustments, is another matter.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:52

We have reached the interval at Craven Cottage, and Palace go in with a deserved lead. They started to take the game to their opponents later on in the opening half, and the pressure paid off as Andersen headed a corner into his own net for the game's only goal. Fulham have failed to test Henderson at the other end, and will have to feel disappointed with their first half showing. Still, the game is far from over, with another 45 minutes still left to play.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:50

HALF-TIME: FULHAM 0-1 CRYSTAL PALACE

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:47

Munoz goes down in a challenge on Bassey, fouling the Nigerian international. The referee did not hesitate in giving the wing-back a yellow card.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:45

Berge catches Hughes and fouls the Palace midfielder. The referee awards the away side a free-kick and the chance to double their lead.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:43

Palace certainly look the more confident side right now. Eze cuts in from the left-hand side and tries to hit a low shot into the bottom corner. Unfortunately for him, his attempt drags just wide.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:40

Own goal Joachim Christian Andersen

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:38

Palace do a good job at pressing the ball and win it back. They go back on the attack, as Mitchell goes forward and finds Eze. The winger gets into the box and has a go, which is deflected and out for a corner.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:36

Eze gets his free-kick on target, forcing Leno to dive to his right and make another save. The German international does well to deny Eze's free-kick, which was well hit.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:33

Palace get a free-kick as Jimenez backs into Lerma and takes down his opponent. The visitors have a chance to start a new attack.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:31

Mitchell is afforded space on the left-hand side and tries to pick out his fellow wing-back Munoz in the box. However, Robinson does well to get back and intercept the cross, clearing the ball out for a corner.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:28

Eze gets the first shot on target for the match. The winger beats a couple of Fulham players before driving into space and having a crack from distance. Leno is behind it in the end, getting both gloves on the ball to deny Eze. Still, a more than decent chance for Palace.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:28

Leno punches the ball from a corner, with the ball falling to Hughes. The midfielder tries to get a shot on goal, but misses terribly. The ball went over the bar and out for a Fulham goal-kick.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:24

Berge is the first player to go into the referee's book after his foul on Sarr to stop a potential attack.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:24

So far, there have been a total of four shots in the opening 20 minutes, three for Fulham and one for Palace. Neither team have had a shot on target, with the overall xG being 0.09 (0.06 to 0.03 in Fulham's favour).

Fulham get another corner as Traore has a go on goal. Lacroix is again able to get his body in the way and block the attempt.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:19

Smith Rowe stays down following a challenge from Richards, who gets away without a foul being called on him. Smith Rowe does get up and is able to continue.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:17

There has not been a significant chance in the opening exchanges, as both teams look to try and settle in this one. Fulham have had more of the ball, but nothing really to show for it thus far.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:13

Off the corner, the ball ultimately falls to Robinson who has a hit. The ball is deflected off a Crystal Palace defender, and goes straight to Henderson.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:12

Castagne goes into the midfield and passes is to Traore, who tries to bend one into the box. Lacroix gets across and blocks it out for a corner kick.

15:10

Iwobi tries to pick out Jimenez in the box, but fails miserably and the ball goes out for a Crystal Palace goal-kick.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:09

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:08

Mateta gets the first shot of the game as Mitchell finds his striker with a smart pass. The Frenchman's attempt hit the side netting and went out for a Fulham goal-kick.

The players and match officials are walking out onto the field, meaning we are on the cusp of kick-off. Enjoy this live text commentary for the Premier League clash between Fulham and Crystal Palace.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

14:56

It is six games without a win for Palace against Fulham. There have been four draws in that time, with the other two being victories for the Cottagers. That includes the reverse fixture earlier this term, which ended 2-0 at Selhurst Park. Palace's last win in this head-to-head came at Craven Cottage back in 2020. Jairo Riedewald and Wilfried Zaha were the goalscorers on that occasion in a 2-1 win.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

14:51

Crystal Palace only make one change in their line-up today, as Eze takes Devenny's place in the attack. The 26-year-old winger has three goals across all competitions this term, and will look to add to his tally in this one. Austrian coach Oliver Glasner has also been one to make few adjustments to his XI throughout the term, despite Palace's woeful run.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

14:46

Consistency is the name of the game for Fulham, as Marco Silva decides to maintain the same starting XI as last weekend. The Portuguese manager has largely stuck to the same starting line-up for most of the campaign, so it is hardly surprising to see him do so again. The question now is, whether it will pay off in this clash.

Fulham are enjoying a fine sesason, coming into this match in eighth spot. The Cottagers have won three of their last four, including a 2-1 defeat of Nottingham Forest last time out. They are chasing European football, hopign to qualify for the first time since 2011/12. For their opponents Crystal Palace, they have had a rather inconsistent campaign thus far. They sit in 14th spot ahead of play. Two of their last three games have ended in defeat, including last weekend's 2-1 home loss to Everton. They will still want to grab a few more points to avoid any potential fears of relegation.
