Brentford Predictions.

Premier League history with Palace Brentford shows that, at Selhurst, we don't lose.

They have real class players up front but, there again, our defence seems, statistically, to be just excellent.

All things considered, I'd go 1-1
 
Doucoure and Riad aren't available with knee injuries.
No further information on the extent of the injuries, how long they may be out for, or whether they are linked to previous injuries.
Neither would have started v Brentford, but would have been on the bench.

So, with Doucoure & riad out, it sounded like Lerma's back, so he should go straight in alongside Hughes, Kamada on bench with Esse on bench, maybe, possibly, imo.

Sounds like Franca is finally not too far away too. Training with the first team (but needs to get up to fitness it seems).

Source? The EPL Injury site is usually accurate, but clubs (especially ours) can be slow to update. Riad and Doucoure are not featured... yet.
 
Doucoure's injury record since that achilles injury has been really rough. Played basically every minute of his first season and since then you get nervous every time we need him to play 90 minutes.

Henderson

Richards Lacroix Guehi

Munoz Lerma Hughes Mitchell

Sarr Eze

Mateta

Turner
Clyne
Kporha
Rodney
Schlupp
Kamada
Devenny
Esse
Nketiah

Alarmingly short at CB all of a sudden. Still wouldn't expect to see Rob Holding.

Our squad would crumble with European football on top. Much as I'd love to see us do it, we can't currently.
We can barely go for the cups.

That's true we can get a fully fit squad in the league 😯 most mid table teams who get Europe their league form suffers massively.

Lerma and Clyne both played at Centre back during last seasons good run, so maybe not as thin as it first looks. I also expect Kamada to start given his performance at West Ham. Think he has taken a while to adjust to Prem, but hopefully he will come good.

Yep. You need to have 22 players you'd be happy to start a game - probably with the exception that your keeper could play every game.

Even with everyone fit, that would still leave us short of 2 wing backs, Esse or Franca getting to first team level, and Nketiah being in-form. The bench we have on Sunday is going to look a bit patchy.

Assuming Newcastle put Arsenal out of the cup, we should only have 6 league games between now and April 2nd. Hopefully Wharton, Doucoure, Riad, Franca and a settled down Esse are all good to go after that.
