Full-time! That's it. City have claimed the win courtesy of Noble's injury-time stunner.
SUB: Goal-scoring hero Noble has been replaced by Lee Johnson.
SUB: Fontaine replaces Trundle for the visitors.
90+3 mins: A good of a strike of a football that you'll ever see. From 30-yards out Noble's long-range effort floats into the top corner leaves Speroni clutching at thin air.
GOAL! David Noble's stunner has put the visitors back in front!!!
Injury-time! Five minutes of extra time will be played.
90 mins: Forte's long-range drive is well held by Basso.
89 mins: The home fans are in full voice. You would not back against another goal here at Selhurst.
EQUALISER! Watson drills the ball into the corner of the net. Unstoppable shot. Palace have a leveller.
86 mins: Carey slipped allowing Forte to get the better of him, he then brings down the defender, giving the home side a penalty. Watson will take it.
PENALTY! Palace have a penalty!
83 mins: Booking - Marvin Elliott is booked to catching Butterfield with a high boot.
82 mins: Side-netting! The Eagles are unable to halt Adebola's run, although the striker was unable to hit the target after sending his shot into the side-netting.
Just over: Ifil guides a header over. Difficult chance, but he was not able to keep his effort on target. Time is running out for the home side to bag a leveller.
Final change: Palace are making their third change with Derry being replaced by Lawrence.
75 mins: The action has died down somewhat, although Robins boss Gary Johnson won't mind one bit. His side are in the driving seat.
72 mins: Some more great running by Sinclair creates a chance, but the visitors put his cross behind for a corner.
67 mins: Although Palace are pressing, City are looking comfortable at the back. Basso is not being overworked.
62 mins: SUB - Paul Ifill has come on for the injured Scowcroft.
60 mins: Gamble failed. Warnock's gamble to bring on Scowcroft has failed as it looks as though he's pulled his hamstring. He is being stretchered off.
59 mins: It's all City at the moment. Palace are struggling to get hold of possession.
55 mins: Change: Palace are making a change in bringing on Scowcroft in place of Moses.
54 mins: Straight from the training ground, The Robins pull off a fine set-piece that results in Carey curling home his first goal of the season into the top corner of the net.
GOAL! The visitors are in front.
Fans: The Palace fans are doing their best to lift their side. This game is firmly in the balance.
Wide! Watson is given time and space outside City's box, but his shot is deflected wide of the far post for a corner.
Lucky: Derry is lucky to escape a booking for a thunderous challenge on Carle.
Second half: Palace get the second half underway! Let's hope there are some goals in the second 45 minutes.
Half-time: The interval whistle goes and it is all-square here at Selhurst Park.
43 mins: Carle's left-footed works Speroni, although the Argentine keeper got down well to his left to make a comfortable-looking save.
42 mins: Some good work by Sinclair creates a chance for Morrison, but in trying to guide home with the outside of his right foot his effort lacked power.

38 mins: It's all The Robins at the moment. McIndoe now sees his shot deflected over for a corner.
37 - Save! Speroni pulls off a fine save to deny Adebola's close-range header. Best chance of the game so far.
36 mins: Defending - A fine piece of defending by Soares denies Carle a free shot on goal.
33 mins: Palace are looking the more likely to score at the moment. City are just finding it hard to get the ball to Trundle and Adebola.
31 mins: A fine run by Soares causes the visitors problem. Moses ends up with the ball, although his cross troubles no one.
28 mins: Chance! Sinclair does well to work himself a bit of space in the box, although his shot was a bit weak allowing City to clear.
Down: Watson is down injured for the home side after being kicked by Carle. Painful one for the midfielder.
Challenge: A superb tackle by Fonte denies McIndoe a shot at Palace's goal. Good break by the visitors, but well defended by Warnock's side.
15 mins: Butterfield's long-range effort is saved, while at the other end Trundle nearly latches onto a Adebola flick-on.
Nearly! Sinclair goes down and wins a free-kick, but he's just outside the penalty area. Nearly a spot-kick for the home side. Sadly Watson's set-piece is woeful and goes straight out of play.
10 mins: First shot of the game. Watson runs at The Robins beflore lashing a long-range effort over Basso's goal. Just bofore that shot Nick Carle was lucky to escape punishment by the ref for what appeared a two-footed challenge.
9 mins: Palace are slowly but surely getting a foothold in the game. No chances as yet for either side.
6 mins: Watson's corner is overcooked. It misses everyone in the middle and floats wide of the far post.
4 mins: City's pressure forces Watson to cough up possession, however, a foul has been given on the midfielder.
