Crystal Palace will be keen to get their season off to a flying start tomorrow, when they welcome Huddersfield to Selhurst Park.
A new era is well underway in South London, and new Eagles boss Frank de Boer will be keen to take the Premier League by storm in his maiden campaign on English soil.
The Dutchman is in the process of implementing a new style of play to his men, and he will be hoping that his ideas will be translated onto the pitch as he goes toe to toe with his counterpart David Wagner.
It’s sure to be a difficult contest, though. The Terriers will be chomping at the bit ahead of their opening Premier League clash, having secured promotion through the Championship play-offs last term.
De Boer will have many selection dilemmas on his hands ahead of the match, but here’s how we think he will set out his Palace side against Huddersfield.
Wayne Hennessey
Hennessey is the number one for now, as De Boer hunts for a new goalkeeper.
Timothy Fosu-Mensah
Fosu-Mensah could be chucked straight in at central defence, having already taken part in training sessions.
Scott Dann
Dann is likely to be at the heart of a three-man defence.
Jairo Riedewald
Riedewald is likely to play on the left of the back three.
Andros Townsend
Townsend will most likely continue as the right wing-back.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek
Loftus-Cheek could be poised to be awarded his first competitive Palace start in the middle.
Luka Milivojevic
Milivojevic is likely to start as the second central midfielder.
Patrick van Aanholt
Van Aanholt is the obvious option at left wing-back.
Wilfried Zaha
Zaha is an undisputed starter and will be out in the attacking role on the right.
Jason Puncheon
We think Puncheon could be chosen to play out on the left. However, if De Boer is keen to have the experienced midfielder in the middle, there could be a reshuffle.
