CRYSTAL Palace will be in for a tough pre-season match at Priestfield Stadium on Tuesday night, says Gillingham boss Martin Allen.
The Kent side lost 3-1 to Millwall on Saturday but the manager is looking for a response in front of their own fans and intends to field a strong side.
He told the Gillingham club website: "It will be a test of the squad – Crystal Palace are in the Premier League.
"I don't mind if we don't win but I do mind if we don't play our way and Saturday we didn't play our way and how Gillingham play.
"This will change and on Tuesday we will put out our strongest team and we will put on a performance for the people who come and watch to make them proud."
The Eagles may continue to give the likes of trialists Atdhe Nuhiu, Quincy Owusu-Abeyie and Elliot Grandin a chance to impress while new signings Jerome Thomas and Dwight Gayle could be involved.
The match is set for a 7.30pm kick-off and ticket prices are £15 for adults, £10 for Senior Concessions 65+yrs and £5 for U18s, while U12s are free with a full paying adult.
