Team News: Two separate XIs for Augsburg double bill, live on Palace TV+!
There will once again be two different Crystal Palace starting XIs this afternoon, as Palace twice take on Bundesliga side FC Augsburg – back-to-back – at Hofmaninger Stadium, LIVE on Palace TV+!
First Match (15:00)
In the first match, nine days before our FA Community Shield match-up with Liverpool, Manager Oliver Glasner has named the same starting XI as began our 1-0 FA Cup Final win over Manchester City at Wembley.
The Eagles are likely to retain the same shape as that day, with a strong squad offering plenty of additional firepower from the bench.
Palace XI (15:00 match): Henderson (GK), Richards, Lacroix, Guéhi, Muñoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell, Sarr, Mateta, Eze.
Subs: Matthews (GK), Clyne, Hughes, Devenny, Lerma, Nketiah.
Second Match (17:00)
Palace’s second-match XI sees a number of promising Academy prospects involved, including a first senior appearance for centre-back Luke Browne, while Dean Benamar, who earlier this summer signed his first professional contract, is on the bench.
There are plenty of experienced heads, too, including Nathaniel Clyne, Will Hughes, Jefferson Lerma, Eddie Nketiah and Odsonne Edouard, in the starting XI.
Palace XI (17:00 match): Benítez (GK), Jemide, Browne, Rodney, Clyne, Hughes, Lerma, Cardines, Devenny, Nketiah, Edouard.
Subs: Matthews (GK), Benamar, Ahamada, Esse, Rak-Sakyi.
