Crystal Palace to play friendly against Bromley

Crystal Palace are to play Conference Premier side Bromley in a behind-closed-doors friendly this week as the club prepare to face Manchester United on Saturday.

The Eagles, who are yet to score a goal this season and currently prop up the Premier League, have made the worst start to a top-flight campaign by any club in 93 years.

The team's dreadful start to the season cost former boss Frank de Boer his job, and new manager Roy Hodgson will look to work on tactics and formations during a meeting with non-league side Bromley.

Palace's trip to Old Trafford is then followed by a match at Stamford Bridge against champions Chelsea.

Hodgson's men were humiliated last weekend away at Manchester City, who ran out 5-0 winners at the Etihad.
