It was a blistering end to the 2023/24 Premier League season for Crystal Palace under Oliver Glasner with supporters no doubt itching to see the side start the upcoming season in the same manner.
It will, however, be a summer of transition at Selhurst Park. Star man Michael Olise has already completed a big money move to Bayern Munich while Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi have also been linked with exits from South London.
The Eagles have already recruited in the window with several transfer rumours hinting at further investment. LondonWorld looks at how Crystal Palace could line up for the season opener against Brentford, should current transfer rumours come true, with a bit of a reworked formation to the Oliver Glasner staple - player market values as per Transfermarkt.
