Marc Guehi was forced off in the victory over Watford with an ankle problem and is unlikely to be involved here.

Crystal Palace is in a similar situation to its rival, where it no longer has chances to fight for a continental tournament next season. Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace history 25. Roin Olsen (GK), 08. Morgan Sanson , 10. Substitutes - Aston Villa Substitutes - Crystal Palace

Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace team news with former Villan Christian Benteke amongst the subs for Patrick Vieira's Eagles.

It appears to be a 4-4-2 diamond from Villa with Emi Martinez in goal, Matty Cash and Lucas Digne the full-backs with Ezri Konsa and skipper Tyrone Mings making up the back four. Emi Buendia and Bertrand Traore are also on the bench. The striker returned to training for the first time on Saturday since the midweek defeat to Liverpool. It means the England ace will have Danny Ings and Philippe Coutinho in support, with the latter featuring for the first time as a permanent Aston Villa player following his £17.2million transfer from Barcelona this week.

Off the heels of an equally promising and frustrating 2-1 loss to Liverpool, Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa look to brush off the moss in tackling Patrick ...

PREDICTION: Villa are playing well again, even given Tuesday’s defeat, and the team should continue to do so despite some bad luck with injury. The major decision to be made will be whether or not to stick with the successful 4-4-2 diamond shape. On to this week, with Crystal Palace as the opponent.

The predicted XI for Aston Villa's clash with Crystal Palace where a win could boost their top half credentials.

It could well be a good weekend for the Villa faithful if they can get back on track after their gutsy display in defeat to Liverpool. Going forward, Philippe Coutinho will once again operate in the space between midfield and attack, where he can cause so much damage to the opposition. Steven Gerrard can take a big step closer to the top half of the Premier League by leading Aston Villa to a win against Crystal Palace today.

Aston Villa 1-1 Crystal Palace: Schlupp scored five minutes after coming on to cancel out Ollie Watkins' opener.

Martinez made another save as he dealt with a deflected Gallagher shot, before Villa made the breakthrough when Digne crossed from the left and Watkins, battling with Marc Guehi at the far post, got on the end of it to divert the ball past Butland. Lucas Digne had a strike saved by Jack Butland and Watkins hit a shot wide in stoppage time as a subsequent Villa push to reclaim the lead proved in vain.

Defensively, Digne was in all the right places to deny the likes of Gallagher while, up the other end, was near-immaculate with his passing and deliveries. In ahead of Buendia once again and endured a quiet first 45, fizzing an effort well wide of Butland's post from distance. After that, Villa got themselves ahead thanks to a brilliant cross from Digne as Watkins got the better of his marker, Guehi, with the ball striking off the Palace man's leg before rolling home past Butland for 1-0. Struggled early on as the likes of Eze, Zaha and Gallagher burst forward in numbers. Up there with Digne as Villa's standout player from what was a disappointing first-half showing all round. Mings also got a strong block on Gallagher's effort which took the sting out of his shot as Martinez swept it up. A strong showing from the Frenchman who didn't put a foot wrong. Villa, though, were soon made to rue a couple of decent opportunities with Palace providing a sting in their tails. Cash was wary of the pace Palace possessed and didn't venture down the right as much as he would have liked. It was impressive left-back Lucas Digne who provided the assist, whipping into Palace's six-yard box before Guehi attempted to wrestle with Watkins before the ball eventually trickled home and past Jack Butland in front of the Holte End. Nakamba was at it again soon after before Tyrone Mings managed to get a strong block on Conor Gallagher's shot which Martinez got down to. As for Palace, Emi Martinez palmed away a swirling, long-range effort by Wilfried Zaha before getting down low to thwart Nathaniel Clyne's effort from distance.

A close-range Ollie Watkins strike put Aston Villa ahead but late substitute Jeffrey Schlupp pounced to give Crystal Palace a 1-1 draw.

“But I did not have a chance to look at it again.” “From where I was, I thought it was a foul,” he said. “We didn’t deserve to concede but showed quality and character to find the strength to get back in the game.” The forward simply gestured for them to raise the volume. The cold reality, though, is that Vieira and Gerrard have very little interest in backward glances. “From minute one we controlled the game,” he said.

Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace: Neither the Villans nor the Eagles will be satisfied with splitting the points in a 1-1 draw at Villa Park on Sunday.

2. Aston Villa finishing strong under Gerrard: Much of the same just said about Crystal Palace and Patrick Vieira is true of Aston Villa and Steven Gerrard. Jack Grealish was sold for $140 million last summer and replaced by Danny Ings, Leon Bailey and Emi Buendia (and, eventually, also Philippe Coutinho, thanks to Gerrard’s arrival on the scene), before being forced into an early-season managerial change. Crystal Palace fans’ thoughts of “With the right investment in the transfer market, we’ll be pushing for a European place next season” aren’t too far wide of the mark. Instead, they’re both now more likely than not to finish just outside the top half of the Premier League table, even with a game in hand on 10th place Brighton & Hove Albion (48 points).
