Aston Villa, Recent FormAston Villa will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 away win against Everton. In that game they had 53% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Everton who had 15 attempts and 5 on target.
Supremo Unai Emery will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 10 goals they've managed to net. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 11 games. Emery will not be pleased that his side has found keeping a clean sheet a challenging task at home this season, having conceded goals in 10 of their 12 matches.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at Villa Park, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.
On an individual basis, Ollie Watkins has scored in each of Aston Villa's last 5 league games.
Crystal Palace, Recent FormCrystal Palace will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Liverpool, which ran out a 0-0 draw. They came away from that fixture with a 36% share of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 0 on target, in comparison to Liverpool, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Patrick Vieira will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 5 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They've drawn their last 3 games, but their search for a win in a league game extends even further with 8 consecutive games without a win.
Eberechi Eze has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Aston Villa.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 3-1 win for Crystal Palace.
Goals should be on the cards for Aston Villa in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against The Eagles in their last 6 meetings together.
Palace has had a poor run in this fixture when they visit Aston Villa, being unable to find a win from any of their last 5 league meetings at Villa Park.
Wilfried Zaha will be looking to get on the scoresheet for Palace against Aston Villa in this one, having netted 3 goals in the previous 5 encounters between the two.
With only Diego Carlos (Achilles tendon) and Jed Steer (Achilles tendon) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Unai Emery will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Patrick Vieira has a number of injury concerns in his Palace squad to contend with: Nathan Ferguson (Muscle), Sam Johnstone (Calf), Joel Ward (Calf) and Wilfried Zaha (Hamstring)
