Brentford will be looking to continue their excellent start to the Premier League season when Crystal Palace come to town on Saturday.

After a creditable 2-2 draw with Tottenham on the opening weekend, Brentford eased to a 3-0 victory over Fulham last time out. That win was especially sweet for the club's supporters given the rivalry between the two west London teams, and Thomas Frank will have been delighted with the manner of the performance. Brentford dominated proceedings at Craven Cottage and were well worth their victory.

It has been a solid start to the campaign for the Bees. The suspension of Ivan Toney until January was cause for concern ahead of the big kick-off, but Brentford have coped admirably without their talisman up to now. Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo have stepped up to the plate, while at the other end of the field Brentford looked solid against Fulham. It is still early days but nothing we have seen so far suggests Frank's team are in danger of being dragged into a relegation scrap.

Crystal Palace will also be striving to avoid the demotion dogfight. They kicked things off with a comfortable 1-0 victory over Sheffield Utd, before going down to Arsenal by the same scoreline. Palace gave it a good go against the Gunners, who were forced onto the back foot when Takehiro Tomiyasu was sent off in the second half, but they could not find a way through.

The key question regarding Palace is whether they can score enough goals. Brentford are a tough nut to crack, especially when playing in front of their own fans, and none of Palace's forwards are prolific. Ebere Eze scored in a 1-1 draw at the Gtech Community Stadium last season and he is likely to be his team's main threat again this time around.

The Brentford vs Crystal Palace live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Peacock or another service and watch the game.
