Latest Crystal Palace vs Brentford team information
Crystal Palace trio Chadi Riad, Cheick Doucoure (all knee) and Caleb Kporha (back) remain sidelined, with Glasner revealing on Tuesday that Chris Richards is unlikely to be fit to play against Brentford after a minor calf injury.
Richards' possible absence could open up a first Premier League start for 19-year-old new signing Jaydee Canvot at centre-back, partnering Maxence Lacroix and captain Marc Guehi.
Tyrick Mitchell is expected to replace Borna Sosa at left-back, while Adam Wharton is likely to return alongside Daichi Kamada in central midfield. Striker Jean-Philippe Mateta – who has scored 21 goals in 27 Premier League home starts – will continue to start in place of Eddie Nketiah.
For Brentford, Antoni Milambo and Josh Dasilva are both long-term absentees with knee injuries. Yegor Yarmoliuk (hip) and Aaron Hickey (knee) remain doubtful and will be assessed before kick-off.
After making nine changes in the midweek win at Grimsby, Andrews is likely to revert to the same formation that beat Liverpool, but he is also considering switching to a back five to counter Palace's system.
Striker Igor Thiago – who has scored six goals in nine Premier League starts this season – is likely to continue leading the line, with support from Kevin Schade and Dango Ouattara, while Reiss Nelson will compete for a starting place after scoring and assisting against Grimsby.

Latest Crystal Palace vs Brentford football review
“Can we play them every week?” was one of the many joyous chants from Crystal Palace fans after their team beat Liverpool for the third time in three months. After winning the Community Shield and Premier League, Palace continued their winning ways with a comfortable 3-0 win at Anfield in the fourth round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday night.
Ismaila Sarr's two first-half goals punished a much-changed Liverpool side, who had a player sent off with 11 minutes remaining. Yeremy Pino added a third, rubbing salt into the wounds of the struggling Reds and sending Palace into the quarter-finals of the League Cup for the second season running.
Manager Oliver Glasner could soon be in charge of four games in eight days after progressing so far. Palace face Manchester City, Leeds United and KuPS in the Conference League in December, while the EFL are still discussing the scheduling of the quarter-final against Arsenal – which has no suitable midweek slot.
Palace will now turn their attention back to the Premier League. They are 10th in the table, four points off the top four after losing two of their last three games (D1) – as many as they lost in their previous 19 Premier League games (W9 D8).
The Eagles are unbeaten in four home games at Selhurst Park this season (W1 D3), but ahead of Saturday's clash with Brentford, Palace have won just one of their last eight Premier League meetings with the opposition (D5 L2) – a 3-1 home win in December 2023.
Many had predicted Brentford would struggle this season after a turbulent summer, but the Bees are currently 11th in the Premier League, eight points above the relegation zone and have also reached the quarter-finals of the League Cup for the fourth time in six years.
Following back-to-back Premier League wins over West Ham and Liverpool – including a 3-2 home win over Liverpool last weekend – Brentford continued their impressive form with a 5-0 win at fourth-tier Grimsby Town in the fourth round of the League Cup on Tuesday. It was their biggest win in any competition since beating Southampton 5-0 in the Premier League last January.
Manager Keith Andrews, who has won six of his 12 games since taking charge in the summer, has been pleased with the “professionalism and attitude” of his much-changed Grimsby squad and has urged his players to maintain this positive form ahead of a challenging fixture list.
Before taking on Newcastle, Brighton, Burnley, Arsenal and Tottenham in the Premier League, Brentford will focus on the match against Crystal Palace – a team they beat 2-1 both home and away last season, after failing to win in their first six encounters in the competition (D5, L1).
Brentford’s threat from set pieces is well known. Since the start of last season, they have scored eight Premier League goals from throw-ins alone – five more than any other team. In fact, the two teams with the most long throw-ins into the opposition box this season are Brentford (47) and Crystal Palace (38).
