Crystal Palace begin their European campaign in a Conference League qualifier against Fredrikstad after being demoted from the Europa League. The squad lacks Eberechi Eze, who watches from the stands ahead of his move to Arsenal, but remains strong and among competition favourites. Dean Henderson starts in goal with a backline of Daniel Munoz, Borna Sosa, Jefferson Lerma, Marc Guehi and Maxence Lacroix. Will Hughes and Adam Wharton anchor midfield, with Ismaila Sarr and Justin Devenny in advanced roles and Jean-Phillipe Mateta leading the attack. Fredrikstad start Martin Borsheim in goal with Maxwell Woledzi, Ulrik Fredriksen and Solomon Owusu in defence and Oskare Ohlenschlaeger and Enil Holten up front.
Crystal Palace get their European campaign underway in a Conference League qualifier against Norwegian side Fredrikstad. The Eagles were demoted from the Europa League a few weeks ago, but now reap the benefits of being one of the favourites to win the competition. West Ham and Chelsea have both already lifted the trophy, and the Eagles will be looking to build on the success of last season, even if Eberechi Eze is only watching from the stands ahead of his move to Arsenal.
Palace may have no Eze, but they have still have a strong enough team to beat their Scandinavian opponents. Dean Henderson retains his spot in goal, with Daniel Munoz featuring as a wing-back, alongside Borna Sosa, Jefferson Lerma, Marc Guehi and Maxence Lacroix completing the defence. Will Hughes partners Adam Wharton in the middle of the park as the anchors. Ismaila Sarr plays in a more advanced role, with Justin Devenny more advanced. Jean-Phillipe Mateta will lead the line.
