Selhurst Park will host an intriguing Matchday 21 Premier League encounter as Crystal Palace take on Aston Villa.
Just five rounds ago, Crystal Palace were confidently sitting at the very top of the Premier League table. Since then, they have managed to collect only one point from five matches. In the world’s most competitive league, such a run quickly takes its toll, and Palace have now slipped down to 14th place.
Aston Villa were heavily beaten by Arsenal away from home in Matchday 19, but the Birmingham side responded well, bouncing back with a 3–1 victory over Nottingham Forest in the following round. To keep their title hopes alive, Villa know that only wins will do, while hoping Arsenal drop points elsewhere.

Prediction for the Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa

Aston Villa are likely to find it difficult to break down a disciplined defense while also guarding against dangerous counterattacks. Even so, despite the expected challenges, the recommendation is to back an Aston Villa victory.
