Bromley's Hayes Lane

Crystal Palace reserves were held to a 0-0 draw by local rivals Charlton Athletic.

In a keenly-contested derby neither side could find the net in a carbon copy result from earlier in the campaign.

Stand-in Eagles boss Dougie Freedman selected himself in a young side alongside experienced Carl Fletcher and Danny Butterfield who is returning from injury.

The closest Charlton came to scoring was through trialist Moses Ademola who saw his shot fly wide of the upright.

Victor Moses almost broke the deadlock for Palace but Darren Randolph beat out his effort at Bromley's Hayes Lane Ground.

The second string are next in action at home to Watford on February 6.

Palace: Wilkinson, Clyne, Fray, Swaibu, Hills, Fletcher, Butterfield, Moses, Freedman, Robinson, Kudjodji.

Subs: Dalhouse, Cadogan, Sheringham, Adelakun.
