Crystal Palace's late show earned a deserved 2-0 win at Wolves.

Jordan Ayew and Luka Milivojevic, from the penalty spot, scored in the final seven minutes to ease Palace's goal woes.

The Eagles' loan pursuit of Liverpool's Dominic Solanke looks over with doubts over his fitness while Wilfried Zaha stretched his goal drought to 14 games.

Wolves are chasing Chelsea's Tammy Abraham, currently on loan at Aston Villa, and both teams showed why they needed fresh firepower in a forgettable game. Re-live the action below:

Player to watch

Wilfried Zaha: As one of the best dribblers in the league, Zaha is an absolute nightmare for any defender and is a vital aspect of Hodgson’s team. Despite the result, he looked bright against Chelsea last weekend and made a number of powerful runs and if he’s on his game this evening, he could definitely help his side leave with something.

Odds

Wolves to win: 21/20

Palace to win: 16/5

Draw: 11/5

Prediction

Wolves 1-1 Crystal Palace: Wolves have been brilliant all season against the top six sides but have let themselves down at times against the lower teams. Nevertheless, they sit in a great position just six points off Manchester United. Palace are a threat though when they’re on their game which I think they might be, I’m going for a draw

Wolves 0-0 Crystal Palace, 5 minutes

Jordan Ayew moves beyond the Wolves defence down the right but can't link up with Wilfried Zaha waiting for his cross in the middle.

Huddersfield 0-0 Burnley, 7 minutes

Philip Billing knows how to hit them, but on this occasion rather skews his low shot wide from an Alex Pritchard lay-off.

Huddersfield 0-0 Burnley, 9 minutes

Steve Mounie takes to the skies with an acrobatic hook towards goal, but his overhead kick flies over the crossbar.

​Almost ready to go at the Vitality Stadium and St James' Park, with the players making their way onto the pitch on the South Coast and in the North East.

West Ham 0-0 Brighton, 12 minutes

Marko Arnautovic receives the ball in a forward area for the first time after excellent work from Felipe Anderson, but the Austrian is leaning back rather and doesn't manage to get his shot on target.

Underway at St James' Park. Will Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's winning run continue?

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 20:00

Kick-off at the Vitality Stadium, too.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United, 1 minute

Five across the back from Newcastle with Matt Ritchie and DeAndre Yedlin in the wing back berths.

A 4-2-3-1 with Paul Pogba ahead of Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic sitting appears to be the Manchester United system.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United, 3 minutes

First sighting of Marcus Rashford driving at the Newcastle defence. Rashford rides a couple of challenges but not that of Paul Dumbest, sliding across to take the ball cleanly.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United, 4 minutes

Juan Mata and Anthony Martial fail to link up in the Newcastle box, but Paul Pogba recovers the loose ball.

A nonchalant no-look knock past a defender opens space for the Frenchman, who drives left-footed across goal but fails to truly trouble Martin Dubravka in the Newcastle goal.
