Crystal Palace confirmed 11: Patrick Vieira makes six changes to face Trabzonspor

Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira has named his side to face Trabzonspor at the Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort in a mid-season friendly.

In their second of four mid-season friendlies for the Eagles, they kick off their preparations for the second half of the 2022/23 season.

As Palace look for an improved result after drawing 0-0 with Botafogo on Saturday, Vieira has made six changes to face Trabzonspor from the goalless draw in midweek.
