How to watch Crystal Palace v Bristol City friendly: TV details, live stream and kick-off time

Crystal Palace host Championship outfit Bristol City at Selhurst Park in a mid-season friendly on Saturday lunchtime.

The extended international break means teams in the Premier League and second tier are set to go three weeks between fixtures.

In a bid to maintain match fitness ahead of next weekend's return to action, the Eagles will welcome Bristol City to South London in a mid-season friendly.

The pair will be without their players on international duty but there will still be plenty of talent on show and, with the Robins pushing for a Championship play-off spot, it should be a good test for the Premier League side.
