On the face of it this looks a conservative selection by Glasner to counter Brentford's physicality and strength at set pieces.
Lerma is more likely to deal with this challenge so that may be why he's preferred to Hughes.
I think it will be a direct game with lots of long passes and set pieces.
Too close to call this game for me.
 
I’d rather have seen Hughes than Lerma who has not been particularly impressive recently. However, either way missing Wharton means the midfield has very little creativity or passing ability. Will have to look to Munoz to be our main creator. Think this could be a very tight game
 
I'd really like to see us get back to winning ways with this one, if we continue with draws and losses we'll quickly find ourselves back down in the 14th to 17ths
A win would be a great result. They have scored 10 goals in their past 3 games and I think Canvot would have had a tough time so glad Richards is able to start. Mateta needs to convert his chances and Kamada and Pino show up against the big boys
 
Is there any official live commentary ? Crystal Palace TV+ are sending out the Wolves game (via 5 live).
BBC London seem to be mostly sticking with the Palace Brentford game. You just have to put up with the dreadful pronunciation - Gerhee and Munoz (vs Munioz)!
