Team News
Aston Villa
Crystal Palace
- While Dean Smith understandably pointed towards an incorrect penalty decision that turned the game against United in midweek, it was a familiar story for Villa, who conceded after a bright spell and didn't show a reaction.
- There's no real encouragement in terms of being able to effect matches from the bench either, so Dean Smith could name an unchanged side despite back-to-back defeats.
- However, Keinan Davis has rotated in and out with Ally Samatta up front and may return, while John McGinn looks a long way off full fitness and may also be dropped.
- Elsewhere Frederic Guilbert is back fit, awaiting his first start post lockdown and could get it here.
- Without James Tomkins, Martin Kelly and now Gary Cahill, Scott Dann and Mamadou Sakho are Roy Hodgson's only fit centre-backs.
- Elsewhere Jeff Schlupp is the only absentee, so the Eagles may name an otherwise unchanged lineup to that which caused Chelsea problems in midweek.
- That would mean starts for former Villa duo Jordan Ayew and Christian Benteke

Watford style 2-1
@koziol.mutant I would be shocked if Villa didn't draw 1-1.
