Silva: Andersen Prepared for Palace Return

Andersen's move to Brentford last summer sent shockwaves through the Palace faithful. After all, he was a key player during his time at Selhurst Park, and his departure left a big hole in the backline.

"He's a top player and I'm expecting him to have a good game," Frank said. "He knows this place like the back of his hand and he's going to be ready to give his all."
Let's be real, though, there's a lot of history here. Andersen was a fan favorite during his time at Palace, and it's going to be interesting to see how he's received by the supporters.
But regardless of how the fans treat him, you can bet that Andersen will be motivated to put on a show. He'll be eager to prove to his former club that he's moved on and is ready for bigger and better things.
One thing's for sure: this is a game that will be full of drama and emotion. Don't miss it!
Here's a quick look at what to expect from this clash:
