Crystal Palace are now stepping up their preparations for the new season as we enter the thick of pre-season.

Roy Hodgson’s men have already completed two friendly firxtures this summer, although fitness will have been the only goal during those games. The Eagles lost 1-0 to Barnet and dre 2-2 with Brodnby, but from here on out, Hodgson will want to see his side developing some good patterns of play as we begin to approach the new season.

Palace now have two friendlies in three days ahead of setting off on their USA adventure for three more games before the start of the new season.

Here we round up all you need to know about their next outing, against Crawley Town.

What has Roy Hodgson said?

Speaking about Palace’s pre-season so far, Hodgson told the club website: “It’s been good. Like all clubs, we’ve had to wait on some players, because we had quite a few away on international duty.

“The early part – the first 10 days or so – was largely with a lot of players from the Academy and players who hadn’t gone away with their national teams, but for the last 10 days, we’ve had everybody back, although we are still filtering in those international players and trying to monitor their workload rather than push them straight into games.”

The veteran boss added: “We’ve been very careful about using anyone who’s in the first-team squad, and in fact most of the players who ended last season [in the squad] have hardly played at all.

“We’ve concentrated a lot on some of the players from the Academy who we think are interesting and would like to look at, and of course some of the players who were in the squad last year but didn’t always play – people like [Naouirou] Ahamada and Jean-Philippe Mateta, to name two – to give them a chance to play football as well.

“From Saturday onwards [against Watford], when we have a game just before we leave for the USA, that will be the first time we’ll see a team which might resemble what the team will look like when we start the league, and players will probably play longer in that game than they’ve been doing so far, albeit even there we’ll be looking to use a lot of squad players, rather than just use 11 for 90 minutes.”
