The hosts came close to opening the scoring on four minutes when Cheick Doucoure’s effort from 25 yards pinged off the right post.
Diego Costa drove into the area but could not beat Palace keeper Vicente Guaita, who dove to parry away any danger of the visitors taking an early lead.
Olise, who set up the first goal in Palace’s last victory at Selhurst Park, curled in a corner where Marc Guehi rose to meet it but nodded off target.

SO CLOSE! Neves takes a shot, and it forces a good save. The rebound lands at Hodge's feet, who attempts to dribble closer to the centre of the box, but he's crowded out.
