Season in numbers

Crystal Palace have announced their 25-man squad for the Premier League.

The squad has no place for Owen Garvan, Stephen Dobbie, Florian Marange or Aaron Wilbraham.

The 25 man squad must contain no more than 17 players who do not fulfil the "Home Grown Player" (HGP) criteria.

Changes to the squad list of 25 may be made during the period of a transfer window.

U21 players are eligible over and above the limit of 25 players/squad.

The 25 selected are as follows:

Goalkeepers: Julian Speroni, Lewis Price, Neil Alexander
