Hello! With less than a week to go until the Premier League season begins, England's top teams are keeping busy in the transfer market, or in Crystal Palace's case, dealing with the agony and ecstasy of the modern game.

This opening-day victory foreshadowed a solid season for Palace as they concluded the Premier League season with a then-record 49 points – a total which was only surpassed last season at the end of the 2024/25 campaign. The 2023/24 season began with a hard-fought victory for the Eagles, who beat newly-promoted Sheffield United 1-0 at Bramall Lane.

Crystal Palace will play Fredrikstad in the Conference League play-offs after their demotion from the Europa League.

Arne Slot has lost again at Wembley after Crystal Palace lifted the Community Shield in a 3-2 penalty shoot-out win against Liverpool, following a 2-2 draw. Hugo Ekitike found the back of the net after 4 minutes to open his Liverpool account, linking up with fellow new arrival Florian Wirtz.

Crystal Palace will face either Fredrikstad of Norway or FC Midtjylland of Denmark in their play-off round of the Conference League. The first leg will take place at Selhurst Park on 21 August, with the second leg a week later. Best draw available for Aberdeen by miles. Hope they get through and do what my team (Hibs) couldn't.

Therefore, Crystal Palace have already started looking for replacements and as per David Ornstein, the Eagles are working on the deal to sign Leicester City star Bilal El Khannouss. Palace reportedly have seen their first bid worth £20m ($27m) get rejected for the 21-year-old as the Foxes are keen to hold onto the Moroccan midfielder.
