Crystal Palace transfers: Eagles’ new-look starting XI if the transfer rumours are true including Arsenal, Bristol City and Middlesbrough men

Crystal Palace are hoping Roy Hodgson can keep them in the Premier League this season. The experienced veteran has returned to Selhurst Park following the club’s decision to part company with Patrick Viera following their recent poor run of form.

The London club are currently sat in 12th place in the table but are only three points above the drop zone with 10 games left of the campaign to play. They take on Leicester City at home following the international break.
