Crystal Palace, meanwhile, were indebted to a Wilfried Zaha wondergoal to salvage a point away to Norwich last time out. The Eagles lie just two points above Brentford with a game in hand.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace head-to-head record
The previous - and only - Premier League meeting between these sides produced a stalemate at Selhurst Park in August.
Palace have endured a mixed record in their trips across London this season. Vieira's men were impressive in their 2-2 draws away to both Arsenal and West Ham this season, but they were humbled by Tottenham in a 3-0 defeat on Boxing Day.
Brentford vs Crystal Palace score prediction
Thomas Frank's side are in free-fall, with their midweek defeat at the Etihad Stadium extending their losing run in the Premier League to five games and leaving the Bees glancing over their shoulder in the lower reaches of the table.
Palace will hope to take advantage of a vulnerable Brentford outfit, with the impressive Conor Gallagher likely to provide the X-factor for Vieira's men.
However, keep an eye out for Brentford seeking to exploit Palace's weakness from set pieces. Frank's side have mastered the art of set pieces this season and it could provide the hosts with a devastating advantage.
Prediction: Brentford 1-1 Crystal Palace
