Crystal Palace XI vs Brentford – Predicted lineup and team news
Crystal Palace travel to the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday afternoon, looking to finish their away campaign strongly.
The Eagles have already secured top-flight safety and occupy 15th place with forty-four points. Oliver Glasner has overseen a historic period after guiding his side to the Europa Conference League final this month.
However, their domestic form has stuttered lately during a five-match winless run in the Premier League. The visitors must recover quickly from a disappointing 3-0 defeat against Manchester City on Wednesday evening.
Palace boast an excellent record in away London derbies, winning six of their last nine such fixtures. Success today would mark three consecutive top-flight away victories in the same season for the first time. They will rely on their robust defence, which has recorded twelve clean sheets during this league campaign.
Crystal Palace team news
Oliver Glasner received a timely boost with forward Evann Guessand close to returning to the matchday squad. Guessand has trained well this week after recovering from an injury suffered against Fiorentina last month.
However, Borna Sosa remains a doubt and could be sidelined until the final fixture against Arsenal. Long-term absentees Eddie Nketiah and Cheick Doucouré are definitely unavailable for the trip to West London.
Jean-Philippe Mateta is set to lead the attack alongside wingers Ismaila Sarr and Yeremy Pino on Sunday. The clinical forward has scored eleven goals in Premier League London derbies for the South London club.
Adam Wharton and Daichi Kamada are expected to start in central midfield to maintain intensity. At the back, Maxence Lacroix will likely join Chris Richards and Canvot in a three-man defence. Daniel Muñoz and Tyrick Mitchell are set to complete the lineup on the flanks.
Crystal Palace predicted lineup
Crystal Palace predicted XI: Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Canvot; Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; Sarr, Mateta, Pino.
When will the match kick off?
The Premier League match at the Gtech Community Stadium kicks off at 15:00 BST on Sunday, 17 May 2026.
