Crystal Palace host top-six chasing Tottenham Hotspur on the Premier League's final day.

Roy Hodgson's side are injury-stricken and reeling after an awful run of form since the restart, losing their last seven games in succession.

Spurs still have everything to play for after Jose Mourinho oversaw the club's remarkable turnaround from 14th to within reach of a Europa League places. If his side can secure victory at Selhurst Park today, and Chelsea take points off Wolves in their crucial game, Tottenham can snatch a sixth-placed finish. Follow all the action below live:

55 mins: And Palace are brimming with confidence now, with Townsend making headway down the right wing now, dragging Dier out wide and creating space for Ayew in the middle. Spurs have a real challenge on their hands to not let a Europa League spot slip through their fingers now.

A nightmare scenario for Spurs, who fail to clear a corner and the ball eventually ricochets to Schlupp, who swivels on the edge of the six-yard-box and lashes a shot into the roof of the net.

51 mins: Mitchell is booked after pulling back Moura, who'd caught the young defender out with a brilliant turn. 

2020-07-26T16:05:05.673Z

47 mins: Lo Celso fizzes the ball in towards the near post and Alderweireld makes a brilliant run, losing his defender to meet it. His header soars just over the bar, though.

KICK-OFF! We're back underway at Selhurst Park where, barring any dramatic turnaround between Chelsea and Wolves, Spurs now know victory will secure them European football next season.

More good news for Mourinho's side, with Chelsea's quickfire double against Wolves on the brink of half time meaning Spurs are in pole position to clinch sixth.

2020-07-26T15:48:26.753Z

HT: Crystal Palace 0-1 Tottenham

Harry Kane's goal separates the two sides at the break, with Spurs dominating possession. Palace are still very much live dogs, though, with Zaha in particular posing a threat down the left wing.

44 mins: As it stands, Tottenham would qualify for the Europa League, with Wolves currently being held by Chelsea. Spurs would like a second here, though, to avoid any unnecessary nerves of their own at Selhurst Park.

37 mins: More frustration for Zaha, who continues to try and exposes Aurier's right-flank. This time, it's Alderweireld who comes across to help clear the ball for a corner. The centre-back does his best to convince the referee that it was in fact Zaha who got the last touch, which infuriates the winger and the pair exchange a few choice words.

2020-07-26T15:37:31.323Z

32 mins: Spurs spring forwards and come so close to adding a second. Davies fierce rebound is blocked, but the ball eventually comes to Moura on the other flank. The Brazilian skips past about five Palace players and rushes through towards goal. He does brilliantly to round Guaita and pull the ball back across the face of goal, but his own teammates were seemingly convinced he'd overrun the ball out of play and Ward is able to cover and clear without pressure in the six-yard-box.

29 mins: Zaha's nutmeg opens up space for Palace, he plays through Ayew, who holds up possession well in the corner flag, but there's a lack of support and he's eventually crowded out. Like so often this season, the Eagles look rather toothless in attack.

26 mins: Townsend skips away from Davies beautifully, shifts possession over to the other flank and Schlupp wins a corner off Aurier. The ball ricochets around in the box, falls to Schlupp on the 18-yard-line, but his shot is driven straight into the arms of Lloris. 

2020-07-26T15:22:51.893Z

22 mins: Another slick break from Spurs, the type that has become so typical under Mourinho. Straight from the Palace corner, Kane picks up the loose ball, plays a quick one-two, before Winks takes over on the opposite flank. Kane bursts forwards into the box, but the midfielder's cross is fractionally overhit. 

2020-07-26T15:21:27.026Z

19 mins: Palace get hold of possession and finally knock it around a bit, with Townsend searching for openings. Zaha picks up the ball near the box but is tackled well by Aurier. The ball goes out for a corner and the winger, who has been isolated for much of the game, lets out a shriek of frustration.

16 mins: That goal was very similar in its position to the two Kane scored against Leicester last weekend. That's the captain's fifth goal in three games, and will force Palace to open up and chase the game. 

2020-07-26T15:14:55.803Z

Another brilliantly taken goal by Kane, who's been in such excellent form as of late. It's Lo Celso, Spurs' feisty creative heartbeat, who plays the striker in behind. Kane takes one touch to shift the ball off his weaker foot and quickly drills a low shot in at the near post before the defence or goalkeeper can react.

9 mins: Moura looks to chip a deft ball over the top for Kane, but the pass is slightly overhit and Guaita rushes out to collect. Spurs are clearly on top but haven't quite yet managed to create any clear openings agains Palace's makeshift defence.

2020-07-26T15:09:42.790Z

6 mins: Son's free-kick is whipped into the Palace penalty area, but Ayew heads the danger clear. He then breaks forwards but is led towards the corner flag by Spurs' defence, where the striker is dispossessed comfortably.
