Brentford have continued their same flying form from last season, scoring five goals in their opening two games and picking up four points in the process.
Starting off with a 2-2 draw against Tottenham on opening day, Brentford made the short trip to Craven Cottage to face Fulham, who they comfortably dispatched 3-0.
Crystal Palace pose a threatening opponent, though. The Eagles beat Sheffield United in their first game of the season before suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat at home to Arsenal on Monday night, and Roy Hodgson's side will be confident of nicking something in west London this time around.
Kick-off is at 3pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
International Premier League TV rights
