Fulham vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture

Follow live coverage as Fulham face Crystal Palace in the Premier League today.

Fulham require three points from their final two matches to break their Premier League points total record, set back in 2008-09 when Roy Hodgson was in charge at Craven Cottage.

Marco Silva’s side were handed a boost last weekend when Aleksandar Mitrovic returned from an eight-game ban to score against Southampton – a game which confirmed the Saints’ relegation.

It will be Fulham’s final home game of the season as they welcome now-Crystal Palace caretaker manager Hodgson back and celebrate a season where they have exceeded all expectations.

Fulham boss Silva was also among the nominees for the manager of the season award.

Crystal Palace will be without Wilfried Zaha, as Hodgson prepares his return to the club he guided out of relegation trouble and then to the Europa League final in 2010.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today’s game in the live blog below:

16:00

A bright and breezy contest in the capital appeared to be ambling towards a goalless scoreline at its interval, but two strikes since the half-hour mark have given both sets of fans something to cheer about at Craven Cottage. Eze's counter-attacking prowess set up Edouard for Crystal Palace's opener, but they were hauled back by a last-gasp penalty, coolly converted by returning hero Mitrovic. Fulham will be relieved their dominance of the ball did not come to nothing, and there's everything still to play for in the second half.

PENALTY FOR FULHAM! In the very last seconds of stoppage-time, Mitchell stumbles into Wilson and concedes a spot-kick! He gets caught under the flight of the ball, then accidentally upends his opponent! The hosts have a great chance to equalise!

In the second minute of at least three added on for stoppages at the end of the first half, Fulham fail to threaten their visitors' goal twice with consecutive corners.

15:49

After a high boot by Mitchell brings down Reed just outside the right half of Palace's penalty area, Wilson's subsequent free-kick is whipped in and then headed clear by Hughes.

15:47

As Palace press on, Hughes wins a close challenge with Cairney just outside the area but can only send the ball scudding out of play for a Fulham goal-kick.

15:46

It's now the away side who are dictating the tempo, though an attempt by Hughes to slip into Fulham's area is ended by the midfielder's clumsy trip on Diop.

15:44

Johnstone punches a Fulham corner clear, but the hosts are still camped inside the Palace defensive third as they seek a quick equaliser.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:43

Fulham have failed to win any of their last 11 Premier League matches when conceding the opening goal, dating back to October. In fact, they have a record of two wins and 12 losses from such circumstances this season.

Andersen's full-blooded contest against Mitrovic continues, with the former bringing the latter down again and conceding a free-kick in midfield.

Latching on to Tosin's raking crossfield ball, Wilson sees his low cutback from the right byline deflected kindly into Johnstone's path, and the Palace goalkeeper gratefully grasps hold of it.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:33

CLOSE! On the counter, Ayew streaks clear down the left and delivers a dangerous low ball across the six-yard box. Then, following a goalmouth scramble involving Leno and two Fulham defenders, Diop has to hack the ball away in desperation!

Palace are clearly growing into the game after a cautious start, and only Palhinha's perfectly-timed tackle stops Eze breaking through 20 yards out from goal.

15:29

Quite comically, Olise is left shirtless as he has to chase Robinson back down the flank. He had removed his jersey temporarily, but escapes an embarrassing outcome when Fulham fail to capitalise.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:27

Edouard fails to control a sharp pass towards the edge of the area, and then his layoff towards Olise is inaccurate; causing the Eagles' attack to break down.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:25

Though they have yet to force a shot on target, Fulham have had 74 per cent of the possession so far today. They have dictated proceedings, but Palace remain resolute.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:22

Olise tries to create some space for himself on the right touchline, but his little nudge on the back of Robinson is spotted by the officials and a Fulham free-kick is awarded.

Leno slides out to claim the ball ahead of Eze after an angled ball arrives from the right flank, but it seems that the Palace forward was probably offside in any case.

15:18

From 25 yards out, Tosin sends a wild shot way over the crossbar, then he trudges back to his defensive position with the home fans' jeers ringing in his ears.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:18

Fulham have won three Premier League London derbies this season, but they have also lost seven so far and were winless in their last five before today's game.

Despite howls of protest from Fulham fans and players alike, Mitchell escapes a penalty appeal following his coming-together with Mitrovic just inside the Palace area.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:14

Guehi sprints across effortlessly to snuff out the danger when Reed attempts to break clear down the right, before Wilson drops to the turf with the second nose injury of the match - he was caught by Hughes' boot in midfield.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:11

The hosts' early domination continues, as Ayew concedes a free-kick midway through the Palace half. Willian delivers it from the right, but his cross is horribly overhit and drifts straight out of play.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:09

Patched-up and wearing a numberless jersey, Mitrovic returns to the fray as Fulham probe around the edge of Palace's defensive third with some precise passing.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:08

Mitrovic has to trudge to the sideline with blood still streaming from his nose, and the game resumes with Fulham down to 10 men - for now, at least.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

15:06

The game is paused in its infancy, as Andersen clatters Mitrovic on the nose in an aerial challenge; drawing blood with a stray elbow to the Serbian striker's face.

Crystal Palace also make just one switch of personnel - in their case, a regretably enforced one. Edouard replaces injured talisman Wilfried Zaha, who could now have played his last game of the season - and has perhaps already made his final Palace appearance. Luka Milivojevic, James Tomkins and Jeffrey Schlupp are all absent from the Eagles' squad once again.

After scoring as a substitute last week, Mitrovic makes his first Fulham start since the end of an eight-game ban; Vinicius is therefore dropped to the bench in the hosts' only change today. Daniel James again misses out due to a thigh injury, while Andreas Pereira, Tim Ream and Layvin Kurzawa also remain absent.

Team news

14:39 , Sonia Twigg

Aleksandar Mitrovic will make his first Fulham start since returning from his eight-match ban for his conduct towards referee Chris Kavanagh during his side’s FA Cup quarter-final at Old Trafford.

Carlos Vinicius makes way in the only change made by Marco Silva from Fulham’s win at Southampton last weekend.

Crystal Palace brought in Odsonne Edouard for Wilfried Zaha – who has sustained an injury – in their only change for the match.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

14:40

After a 2-0 win over Bournemouth last week, Crystal Palace occupy 12th place in the table; level on points with 11th-placed Chelsea. The Eagles have ascended the standings since Roy Hodgson's return but have recently lost back-to-back away matches without scoring - in all, Palace have won just twice on the road in 2023. Today's visitors were beaten 3-0 by Fulham on Boxing Day and have never lost twice to the Cottagers in a single Premier League season.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace

14:36

Ahead of today's final London derby of the 2022-23 Premier League season, Fulham are seeking their third successive win, following recent triumphs over Leicester City and Southampton. Marco Silva's men consigned the latter to relegation last weekend, but they sit safely in 10th place themselves after promotion last year. Eight defeats from their last 12 matches, though, have seen the Cottagers' pursuit of an unlikely European place recede, and they have lost both of their last two home games against Crystal Palace.
