The Eagles have become the very model of how to run a football club in recent years, untapping talent from the Championship and beyond to build a side capable of winning an FA Cup and capturing hearts from neutrals with a fun, energetic style of play so let's put your knowledge of their stars to the test in this quiz.

What a moment for all of South London, the scenes in the stands here, the flags, the celebrations, I swear you can hear half of Wembley shaking right now.

Just a year ago Crystal Palace were 18th in the Premier League and worryingly without a win. Now last term's FA Cup winners are on the longest stretch of games without defeat in their 120-year history after claiming a memorable first away victory in Europe against Dynamo Kyiv in the Conference League. With three wins and three draws, Oliver Glasner's high-flying Eagles sit third in the top flight with the only unbeaten record, having ended leaders Liverpool's own successful start.

Crystal Palace are keen on signing the Brazilian forward Wallace Yan, and they have now emerged as frontrunners in the pursuit of the Flamengo star. Reports in Brazil suggest discussions over a potential transfer are at an advanced stage. Journalist Julio Miguel Neto revealed via Bolavip that Palace opened negotiations during the summer window and they are looking to reignite talks once the window reopens in January.

The transfer window may have already closed, but that does not mean that the likes of West Ham and Crystal Palace cannot sign players. There are a number of free agent currently available on the market that could be attractive propositions for either club. For West Ham in particular, they could need a signing or two as they seek to improve following the sacking of Graham Potter.

Crystal Palace managed to retain key players like Jean Philippe-Mateta and Marc Guehi, despite notable departures during the summer transfer window. Eberechi Eze completed a high-profile move to Arsenal, and Palace were very close to losing their captain Guehi, to Liverpool. Meanwhile, Mateta attracted interest from multiple clubs as well. However, Palace were adamant that they did not want to lose him. They will be delighted to have kept the two players eventually.
