Goal has all the details for the Eagles’ 2018-19 campaign in the English top flight
Crystal Palace finished just outside the top half of the Premier League in 11th place in 2017-18 and will be hoping to improve on that in the 2018-19 campaign.
Roy Hodgson will take on his second season with the Eagles and has already seen a better start to last season when he took over following Frank de Boer’s sacking after Crystal Palace on the back of a four-match losing streak.
Hodgson has kept the squad similar to last season, signing five new players in a bid to break into the top 10.
