Crystal Palace kick-off their pre-season fixture schedule today against Oxford United, hoping to build on an unbeaten start to such friendlies in their most recent Premier League spell.
Since promotion in 2013, Palace have won five of their first seven pre-season games, drawing the other two against noteworthy opponents, Philadelphia Union and FC Helsingør.
Including Palace XIs - largely made up of Development prospects, with the option to include first-team players - the Eagles have won 24 out of 48 pre-season clashes, drawing eight times and losing just 16 - many of these when largely Under-23s outfits have faced professional opposition.
