Brentford and Crystal Palace have both endured their fair share of highs and lows this season. Now, as the campaign draws to a close, they find themselves locked in a fierce battle for survival.
Brentford gained promotion to the Premier League for the first time in their history last season. They have impressed in patches, but inconsistency has hindered their progress. However, they have shown glimpses of their potential, beating Arsenal and Manchester United at home.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, have struggled for consistency under Patrick Vieira. They have had some impressive results, such as their 3-0 victory over Arsenal, but have also been plagued by poor performances. They currently sit just three points above the relegation zone.
Both teams will be desperate to avoid relegation, and this match could go a long way to determining their fate. Brentford will be looking to build on their recent good form, while Palace will be hoping to rediscover the form that saw them beat Arsenal.
The match is set to be a tight and tense affair, with both teams fighting for their Premier League lives. Here is a preview of the match:
The match will be played at Brentford Community Stadium on Saturday, May 7th. Kick-off is at 3pm.
