Match Preview

Aston Villa will have home advantage this weekend, as they bid to get back on track after suffering a second big away defeat of the season. Unai Emery’s side have an excellent record in home matches since the Spaniard arrived, and they have lost back-to-back games on just three occasions under the coach.

However, the Midlands side boasts an excellent record in this fixture, as they have lost just once in their previous eleven in the Premier League. In fact, their most recent defeat was suffered way back in December 2013. Over that period, Villa have won six of the last eleven, with four ending in draws.

It has been a positive start to the new season for Crystal Palace, as they sit seventh in the current Premier League standings. The Eagles have won two of their opening four matches, and they have suffered just a single defeat. In their previous match, they recorded a 3-2 win over Wolves at Selhurst Park.

However, Palace’s best performances this term have come on the road, as they have avoided defeat in each of their last two. They haven’t gone their opening three matches away from home without defeat in the top-flight since 1994-95. However, they have scored just five goals in their last eleven against the Villa.
