Crystal Palace made it six games unbeaten with a third successive win as they beat West Ham at the London Stadium last weekend. After a stuttering start, the Eagles are starting to take flight.
Brentford's turgid form continued as they lost 2-0 to Liverpool at home last weekend to make it just one win in their last nine. The Bees claimed a first away league win in their last away game, albeit at table footers Southampton.
The form guide suggests Palace will claim another three points on Sunday.
