CRYSTAL PALACE host Brentford in a mouthwatering midweek London derby.
Patrick Vieira's Palace went down 4-2 at Manchester City last time out, while Brentford drew 1-1 with Everton.
And Vieira said his team deserved more than their loss at the Etihad after a "perfect" first 45 minutes in which they went in to the break leading 2-0.
The Frenchman said: "Disappointed of course to concede four goals in the second-half but at the same time I think our first-half was a perfect one because we didn’t give them much space.
"We worked really hard and well, we were well disciplined, we made it difficult for them to find the solution.
“I think we spent a lot of energy defending in the first-half and then when we come back in the second-half we lost a little bit of physicality, concentration, discipline and we can’t do that against the team and players they have."
