Looking ahead to the game, Hughes commented: “I will never take for granted how lucky I was to have played for some great clubs throughout my career, and representing Palace in the Championship was the highest level I managed to play at during my time in England.
“For that reason, they have always held a special place in my heart and I know from my time at the club just how big it is and how much their supporters live and breathe their football.
“My benefit year has been a huge success so far, and I would like to thank everyone for their continued hard work to make it happen. I would also like to thank everyone involved with Crystal Palace, in particular Chairman Steve Parish, for accepting our proposal, and to our supporters for their continued backing following my retirement.”
