Crystal Palace predicted starting XI to face Brentford: Will Viera freshen things up after Man City loss?

How will Crystal Palace line up against the Bees?

Crystal Palace return to the action this evening at home to Brentford.

The Eagles go into the clash against the Bees on the back of their 4-2 away loss at Manchester City over the weekend.

Patrick Viera’s side have picked up four points from their opening four games and are sat in 12th position in the table.

Here is a look at how they could line up tonight...

GK: Vicente Guaita

The Spaniard has competition for his place from summer recruit Sam Johnstone.

RB: Nathaniel Clyne

He has been enjoying plenty of game time under Patrick Viera.

CB: Joachim Andersen

The defender scored Crystal Palace’s second goal away at Man City last time out.
