Team News & Key Updates
Crystal Palace:
Oliver Glasner’s men pulled off another shocker by smashing Liverpool in the EFL Cup midweek. But they’ve been inconsistent — beating big sides yet dropping points against teams they should’ve handled easily.
Brentford:
Keith Andrews rotated heavily in their 5–0 cup demolition of Grimsby Town. The likes of Mikkel Damsgaard, Igor Thiago, and Dango Ouattara all impressed, and they’ll be pushing for starts. Defensively, though, Brentford still look a bit shaky.
Prediction
Given how both sides are playing, it’s hard to trust Palace at odds-on. Brentford are dangerous enough to grab a goal, but the home crowd might help Palace nick something too.
