Brentford are not in danger yet but five defeats in succession is a slide they will be aiming to arrest against Crystal Palace. The prospect appears a tricky one if top goalscorer Ivan Toney misses out with a calf injury. Palace on paper are the stronger side but failure to turn control of a game into victory reared its head again on Wednesday with a draw against Norwich. Patrick Vieria is doing a fine job but Palace are inconsistencies give Brentford a good chance especially if their fantastic support really turn the noise up. Brentford can leapfrog Palace if they succeed. Graham Searles
