Crystal Palace analysis: Five key questions for Frank de Boer ahead of the new Premier League season
Standard Sport's Giuseppe Muro runs the rule over Crystal Palace ahead of their season opener against Huddersfield on Saturday.
Frank De Boer has brought in loan signings Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Timothy Fosu-Mensah, while Jairo Riedewald has arrived on a permanent deal from Ajax.
De Boer will have a lot on his plate ahead of his first campaign in England's top flight.
What should the fans be happy with this season?
A campaign not fraught with relegation worries. New manager Frank De Boer has ambitious plans and a mid-table finish looks achievable but imposing a new style brings a certain risk.
What is the club’s biggest strength?
Palace are looking to evolve under De Boer and there is optimism that a new style of play can take them to the next level. And they have Wilfried Zaha, who committed his future to the club with a five-year deal in May.
What is their biggest weakness?
The team are still adjusting to the new tactics expected of them from De Boer and there could be a few teething troubles.
How will the manager set them up?
Palace will play 3-4-3 under the Dutchman, who wants to transform a team who stayed up playing counter-attacking football into a more possession-based side.
Who can make the breakthrough?
Jason Lokilo, an 18-year-old midfielder from Belgium, has impressed De Boer in pre-season. He is capable of playing a more attacking role when required.
