Brentford vs Crystal Palace
A deserved 1-0 defeat of Sheffield United gave Palace a perfect start to the season, however the Eagles’ first home game saw them lose by the same scoreline to a 10-man Arsenal side, who survived a barrage of late pressure to escape Selhurst Park with all three points. Roy Hodgson’s men will look to get back to winning ways in this game though, having drawn both meetings with Brentford 1-1 last season.
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
A strong start to the season has seen Brentford pick up four points, drawing 2-2 with Spurs on the opening day before thumping neighbours Fulham 3-0 at Craven Cottage. A third successive inter-city derby for the fourth-placed Bees gives them the chance to continue that impressive run, with the absence of Ivan Toney doing little to dent their free-scoring attack.
