The Dutchman will look to ensure the Eagles do not flirt with relegation as they did last season, with the club 17th in the Premier League when Allardyce came in and guided them to safety.

Palace begin the new season at home to promoted Huddersfield on August 12 before facing Liverpool at Anfield a week later.
