The Premier League returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Roy Hodgson's Crystal Palace competes with an impressive Brentford side in an important encounter at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday.
Brentford vs Crystal Palace Preview
Brentford are currently in fourth place in the Premier League standings and have been playing well so far this season. The home side eased past Fulham by a comprehensive 3-0 margin last week and will look to achieve a similar scoreline in this match.
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, are in 11th place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent so far this season. The Eagles slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat against Arsenal in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
