This was the first season since 2013–14 to not feature either Ivorian winger Wilfried Zaha, who departed for Turkish club Galatasaray in the summer, and Scottish midfielder James McArthur, who retired. Joel Ward was appointed club captain at the beginning of the season, replacing Luka Milivojević, who left for Emirati club Shabab Al Ahli.
Despite being 15th and just 5 points above the relegation zone in mid-February, the appointment of Oliver Glasner revived the team's fortunes and a strong finish saw the Eagles equal both their highest league finish (10th, achieved in 2014–15) and highest points total (49, achieved in 2018–19) of the Premier League era.[1]
Four Crystal Palace players (Ebere Eze, Marc Guéhi, Dean Henderson and Adam Wharton) were called up for the English national team for the UEFA Euro 2024, meaning Palace became the club with the most representatives in the team.[2][3]
