Eze handed role in Palace team as Williams returns to former club in Charlton clash

Eberechi Eze will start his first match as a Crystal Palace player this afternoon, kicking-off for Roy Hodgson's Eagles against south London rivals Charlton Athletic.

The game - which you can watch live via Palace TV by clicking here - is the first of two derbies Palace will play in their pre-season schedule, facing Millwall on Tuesday.

Eze's inclusion in the starting XI is an indication of faith, with the 22-year-old only putting pen to paper with the club yesterday.
