Crystal Palace are finally getting their pre-season preparations underway, with plans in place for building fitness for the season ahead.
Oliver Glasner injected plenty of hope into the Selhurst Park faithful over the past few months, having implemented an impressive style of play that has brought about results.
A full season under the Crystal Palace boss could yield success, with the Premier League standings wide open at the start of the campaign.
Preparations will have to be in place though, with pre-season the perfect time to gain fitness, match sharpness and test out those tactics.
A friendly against fellow London side Charlton Athletic is first up, with the Eagles looking to kickstart the summer in an ideal fashion.
So with that said, here’s a look at everything you need to know about Crystal Palace’s first pre-season clash for fans to view.

Crystal Palace team news
Glasner is set for a mix of different options in his squad when Crystal Palace take on Charlton, due to many absences.
England quartet Eberechi Eze, Marc Guehi, Dean Henderson and Adam Wharton are away on a break following their Euro 2024 campaign – while Joachim Andersen is also away following his stint with Denmark.
Daniel Munoz, Jefferson Lerma and Chris Richards are unlikely to feature as well, with this summer’s Copa America only just coming to a close.
Jean Philippe-Mateta is on international duty with the French Olympic team this summer, meaning he won’t be available.
The availability of goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is unclear as he looks to recover from injury, while Joe Whitworth and Owen Goodman have both left on loan – leaving Remi Matthews as one of the only options available.
Fans may get their first glimpse of Daichi Kamada along with a few other familiar first-team faces on Friday.
