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

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United, 22 minutes

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team don't look too concerned by Newcastle's early openings, and Paul Pogba particularly seems free of defensive responsibilities.

The Frenchman is moving in all directions, picking up the ball regularly and is starting to make things happen.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United, 24 minutes

Nearly for Marcus Rashford!

A long ball is allowed to bounce through by the Newcastle defence and Rashford is so close to getting a touch on it, but Martin Dubravka is out swiftly to get his foot to it first. 

Anthony Martial then slices on to the roof of the net. Chances are coming for the visitors.

GOAL! Huddersfield 1-1 Burnley (Chris Wood, 40 minutes)

All square!

Dwight McNeill opened his Premier League account against West Ham earlier in the week but turns provider on this occasion, finding Chris Wood from the left and Wood finds a lovely finish to level for Burnley.

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 20:26

GOAL! Bournemouth 0-2 Watford (Troy Deeney, 26 minutes)

Two for Troy Deeney!

A strong run from Gerard Deulofeu results in a a free ball in the Bournemouth area, and Deeney is again the man there to make the hosts pay, notching a double with a first-time finish.

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 20:28

RED CARD! Christopher Schindler is sent off! Huddersfield 1-1 Burnley, 42 minutes

Oh dear!

A bad couple of minutes for Huddersfield. Christopher Schindler is forced to haul down Dwight McNeill, but the German has already been booked and thus receives his second yellow and will have to leave the field.

Erik Durm is brought on to shore things up defensively. A good chance for a crucial away win for Burnley, now.

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 20:28

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United, 32 minutes

Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial combine and the ball squirms across in Juan Mata's direction.

The Spaniard manages to get to the ball first ahead of a slumbering Paul Dummett, but Martin Dubravka is again quick to come out and block Mata's attempt to round him with his legs.

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 20:32

Half-time in the 7.45 kick-offs. 1-1 between Huddersfield and Burnley, but goalless elsewhere. 

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 20:33

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United, 34 minutes

A cross stood up to the far post is won by Salomon Rondon, but the Venezuelan can't generate the force required to keep his header down and still trouble David De Gea. Over the bar.

Rondon had fouled Victor Lindelof, anyway.

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 20:35

GOAL! Bournemouth 1-2 Watford (Nathan Ake, 34 minutes)

Bournemouth back in it!

He was an injury doubt before the game, but Nathan Ake was fit to start and is on hand to turn in after Ben Foster saved Well from Dan Gosling.

Harry Latham-Coyle2 January 2019 20:35

GOAL! Bournemouth 2-2 Watford (Callum Wilson, 37 minutes)

Two in quick succession and Bournemouth are back level!

Quite the riposte from Eddie Howe's side - Callum Fraser is the architect, but it is a lovely header from Callum Wilson, looping the ball over Ben Foster in the Watford goal to level things up at the Vitality Stadium.

Four goals in the first 40 minutes, and you sense there'll be more...
