With several key Brentford players sidelined through injury, Crystal Palace and their manager Oliver Glasner appear to have a significant edge ahead of their Premier League clash at Selhurst Park Stadium. Brentford boss Keith Andrews faces a growing selection headache, with Yegor Yarmolyuk (knock injury), A. Milambo (cruciate ligament injury), and Aaron Hickey (knee injury) all ruled out. These setbacks have disrupted Brentford’s rhythm and limited their options in crucial areas of the pitch.
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, come into this encounter with renewed confidence and a relatively healthy squad. Glasner’s men have shown growing stability and attacking intent in recent weeks, and the passionate Selhurst Park crowd will no doubt spur them on. With a well-balanced midfield and solid defensive shape, Palace will look to take control early and capitalise on Brentford’s injury troubles.
Keith Andrews will be hoping his side can show resilience despite the crisis, but overcoming a well-organised Palace team away from home will be a stern challenge. Glasner’s tactical awareness and Palace’s current momentum could make the difference.
With home advantage and squad fitness on their side, Crystal Palace look poised to claim all three points this weekend.
