When Brentford host Crystal Palace at the Gtech Community Stadium this Sunday (3pm BST, live on Sky Sports), fans can expect a thrilling London derby between two sides determined to end their Premier League campaigns on a high. Standard Sport's Sam Tabuteau has been tracking the Eagles closely, and he's predicting an entertaining 2-2 draw between these two rivals.

Crystal Palace have already secured their top-flight status for next season, but it's been anything but a smooth ride. "It's been a bit of a rollercoaster," Tabuteau explains. "They started with a club-record unbeaten run, then had manager Oliver Glasner announce his departure, Marc Guéhi moving to Man City, and around the turn of the year, things looked tricky."

Yet the Eagles have shown remarkable resilience. They've regrouped and refocused, with their sights now set on a Conference League final appearance—and potentially lifting the trophy. "They've had a good last few months, handling off-field issues well," Tabuteau adds.

Winning the FA Cup last season was historic, but European glory would be another level entirely. "It would be fantastic," Tabuteau says. "Winning at Wembley was magical, but European success? That's something only a select few clubs achieve. For Palace fans, it would be completely unprecedented in their lifetimes."

On the pitch, Brentford will need to be wary of Palace's red-hot attacking duo, Ismaïla Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta, who have been in scintillating form. The Eagles' dangerous wing-backs and well-drilled back-three system also pose significant threats. With both teams chasing a strong finish, Sunday's clash promises plenty of action.

Whether you're backing the Bees or the Eagles, one thing's certain: this is a match no football fan will want to miss.
