Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis is delighted with the results of their US tour.
Palace ended their pre-season tour of America with a 3-0 win over Richmond Kickers and the manager is pleased with the way his squad are shaping up.
Pulis plans to increase the workload on his players when Palace return to London in a bid to get them ready for their season opener at Emirates Stadium on August 16.
"I am really pleased with the tour," said Pulis. "The lads are looking a lot stronger and sharper and that is what you are looking for. In the next two weeks they will step it up and work harder. When we go to Arsenal, we hope we are prepared."
