Brentford vs Crystal Palace live stream: How to watch Premier League game online and on TV, team news

The Brentford vs Crystal Palace live stream sees these two clubs meet in the first London derby of the season — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.

Brentford spent much of last season looking over their shoulders towards the relegation zone, but Thomas Frank will be hoping that Ivan Toney will help them to look up the table instead — as long as the England striker stays. Brentford have never beaten Palace in the Premier League, and their first four away games are against teams expected to finish in the top six, so defeat here could be the start of a tough spell for The Bees.

Crystal Palace won’t have wanted last season to end, winning six of their last seven games and even managing to finish above fierce rivals Brighton, which is as good as a trophy at Selhurst Park. They’ve since lost Michael Olise to Bayern Munich and may yet say goodbye to defender Marc Guéhi, but Ismaïla Sarr has arrived from Marseille, along with defender Chadi Riad from Betis. Can Oliver Glasner maintain that good form as the new season begins? Or did the summer break spoil the Eagles’ momentum? 

Here's how the teams line up:

Brentford XI: Flekken (GK), Roerslev, Collins, Pinnock, Ajer, Norgaard, Janelt, Jensen, Mbeumo, Schade, Wissa.

Crystal Palace XI: Henderson (GK), Mitchell, Guéhi, Andersen, Richards, Muñoz, Hughes, Wharton, Kamada, Eze, Mateta.
