Palace Preview: Local rivals meet in Eagles' first of two south London friendlies

Crystal Palace host south London rivals Charlton Athletic (Saturday, 29th August - 14:00 BST) in their second pre-season game of the summer, with the Addicks arriving at Selhurst preparing for a campaign back in League One.

Charlton’s competitive season is just days away from starting, as Lee Bowyer’s men kick-off against Wimbledon in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday night. With Palace’s league clash against Southampton not for another 11 days after, it is unsurprising that Charlton have played one more friendly already and taken part in a training camp near Birmingham.

The Addicks’ pre-season results so far have seen a 1-1 draw with Birmingham City and a 2-3 loss against Southend United.
