Selhurst Park is the venue as Crystal Palace and Brentford go head-to-head in an all-London Premier League showdown.
Despite being 2-0 up only 21 minutes into their game at Manchester City last weekend, Crystal Palace ended up losing that fixture 4-2, making it two defeats from the opening four Premier League rounds (W1, D1). The ‘Eagles’ will be confident about getting back to winning ways as they’ve not lost any of their last four home league meetings with Brentford (W2, D2). On top of that, they’ve racked up four triumphs in their six most recent top-flight outings at Selhurst Park (D1, L1), as many as in their first 15 at home under current manager Patrick Vieira (W4, D7, L4). However, Vieira’s men have only won twice in their previous 19 Premier League London derbies (D8, L9), with both victories coming in 2021/22.
In the meantime, Brentford hit back late to hold Everton to a 1-1 draw last time out, as they head into proceedings having won just one of their opening four Premier League fixtures (D2, L1). Brentford’s impressive bounce-back ability has seen them avoid defeat in four of the last seven Premier League matches in which they conceded the opener (W2, D2, L3). That may prove quite significant here, considering Thomas Frank’s men have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 18 Premier League road trips, conceding an average of 2.16 goals per match! But they can draw confidence from their decent midweek record that’s seen them lose only once in their last 12 league fixtures held on Tuesday (European time), racking up five wins and six assists in the process.
