Patrick Vieira oversaw an encouraging campaign in his first season in charge at Selhurst Park, guiding his side to the safety of 12th position.
After ensuring Palace will participate in the Premier League for a tenth consecutive season, Vieira has turned his attention to the upcoming campaign, making a couple of additions to his side.
Malcolm Ebiowei became their first signing of the summer after joining the club on a free transfer from Derby County, while goalkeeper Sam Johnstone has also arrived at Selhurst Park following the expiry of his West Bromwich Albion contract.
Neither of the new signings featured in Crystal Palace’s first pre-season friendly, which saw the Eagles play out a 1-1 draw against Accrington Stanley, with Matt Lowe equalising after Jean-Philippe Mateta had given the Premier League side the lead.
The weekend meeting against Millwall may be seen as a warm-up before Palace head on a pre-season tour to Singapore and Australia where they will face Liverpool, Manchester United and Leeds United.
Meanwhile, Millwall are looking forward to returning to action, with Saturday’s game representing their first friendly of pre-season.
The Lions will face their London rivals at the weekend before facing Dartford, Colchester United and Ipswich Town in preparation for the upcoming Championship campaign.
Gary Rowett is preparing for his third full season in charge of the Lions, and the Millwall boss has experienced a busy summer, with a number of players leaving, while several new faces have arrived at the New Den.

The most notable departure was Jed Wallace, who scored 42 goals in 259 appearances for the Championship side before joining West Brom on a free transfer this summer.

George Honeyman and Charlie Cresswell, who have all been arrived this summer and could get some minutes under their belt on Saturday
