Brentford beat Crystal Palace home and away last season, so are seeking three successive victories in this fixture for the first time in 97 years. Their 2-1 victory in January was just the Bees' fourth win in 23 visits to Selhurst, the most-recent beforehand coming in 1957.
Crystal Palace vs Brentford preview
After a memorable win in mid-week, can Crystal Palace continue to rebuild momentum? On Wednesday night, the Eagles soared into the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, hammering an admittedly much-changed Liverpool side 3-0 at Anfield. Ismaïla Sarr, so often the Liverpool slayer, scoring a brace on the cusp of half time on Merseyside, while Yéremy Pino rubber stamped victory late on.
Before this, Oliver Glasner's side were winless in four matches, having been unbeaten in 19 beforehand. In Premier League terms, the Eagles have collected just one point from their last three fixtures, beaten at Everton and Arsenal while playing out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Bournemouth in-between. This week is a massive one for Palace supporters, hosting AZ Alkmaar in the Conference League on Thursday, before fierce rivals Brighton visit South London next Sunday. So, will Glasner's side pick up all three points from this one?
As for Brentford, this week could not have gone any better, so can they complete it with a victory in South London? Last Saturday night, the Bees beat champions Liverpool 3-2 on an entertaining and chaotic night at the Gtech. Dango Ouattara broke the deadlock, Kevin Schade burst in-behind to score the second and then Igor Thiago made victory secure from the penalty spot.
That's now three victories in four matches for Keith Andrews' side, propelling them up to 11th, alleviating relegation concerns that were certainly there when he succeeded Thomas Frank. Then, on Tuesday night, the Bees cruised through to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Mathias Jensen, Keane Lewis-Potter, Reiss Nelson, Fábio Carvalho and Nathan Collins were all on target as they demolished Grimsby Town 5-0 at Blundell Park. As attention turns back to Premier League action, can Brentford win this London derby at Selhurst?

Crystal Palace team news
As has been his want, Oliver Glasner put out a strong side at Anfield in mid-week, so few changes are forecast.
Regulars Chris Richards, Tyrick Mitchell, Adam Wharton and Jean-Philippe Mateta will return to the lineup, the latter replacing Eddie Nketiah at half time against Liverpool, after the stand-in striker suffered a hamstring injury not believed to be too serious.
Crystal Palace predicted lineup vs Brentford: (3-4-3): Henderson; Richards, Guéhi, Lacroix; Muñoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; Yéremy, Sarr, Mateta.
Crystal Palace player to watch vs Brentford
Jean-Philippe Mateta has seven goals to his name this season, but has never netted in seven career meetings with Brentford, seeking to putt that fact right on Saturday.
Brentford team news
Keith Andrews made nine changes in Cleethorpes on Tuesday, Sepp van den Berg and Dango Ouattara the only players to start both, but could revert back to the team that beat Liverpool.
This would see Kristoffer Ajer keep his place at left-back, chosen over Rico Henry and Keane Lewis-Potter, while Aaron Hickey remains sidelined. The front three all scored last weekend, so will look to cause Palace problems at Selhurst.
Brentford predicted lineup vs Crystal Palace: (4-3-3): Kelleher; Kayode, Collins, van den Berg, Ajer; Henderson, Yarmolyuk, Damsgaard; Ouattara, Schade, Thiago.

Igor Thiago's spot-kick against Liverpool took his tally to seven goals for the season already, so can the Brazilian continue his scoring spree at Selhurst?
Crystal Palace vs Brentford prediction
This London derby between two impressive, well-coached sides is very tough to call, so much so that we're sitting on the fence and forecasting a draw at Selhurst: Crystal Palace 1-1 Brentford.
