Crystal Palace vs Brentford Prediction

Crystal Palace have made major changes to their senior squad. They have let go of ageing players like Gary Cahill, Patrick van Aanholt and Andros Townsend, and replaced them with young stars like Michael Olise and Marc Guehi. New manager Patrick Vieira has been backed well, and the Frenchman has his job cut out.

Brentford, on the other hand, made an excellent first impression in the Premier League, by beating Arsenal 2-0. The Bees have been shrewd with their signings, and are clearly no pushovers.

A close match is on the cards, but Crystal Palace should pick up a win here.

Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-0 Brentford
