Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa Pre-match thread - Sunday, May 16th 12pm

[Toronto Villa]

Ollie will be back, Jack will be on the bench again I suspect. Zaha will be dangerous for them, Eze has had a really good first season and Benteke will have his moments. But after that Palace are pretty average and the defeat at Southampton was proof of that. We beat this lot soundly early on and I think we will be too much for them on the road. It’s a good match up for us if we play our best. Elmo in for Cash also I suspect.

2-0 Ollie and Traore.

[Axl Rose]

3-3

Is Damo70 not well?

We're in for a cracker. This will be our last really good performance of the season. Jack back in the side, Barkley out and Ramsey in.

1-4

[Dave P]

I can see us just clicking here like we haven't done for ages.  Watkins fresh from his only real rest of the season, Jack getting more minutes, McGinn and Luiz getting better with every game and even Barkley knowing this is probably his last shot at a contract with us or a decent move.

4-0 Villa and I'm not even joking.

No matter the score I want to see Kesler for Elmo after 60 mins. Ideally Chuk and JPB on the pitch at some stage too. No excuses with the injury list for this game, and Barkley's performance yesterday.

[Allan C]

3-0 to us, think Ollie will get one don’t care who gets the others.

[BC Villain]

1 - 1.  Never been a good ground for us

[N'ZMAV]

4-0 Villa.

I think Dean has said that Cash is likely out for the season and Jack isn't ready to start.

Hopefully Ollie's rest will have done him good. Him and an in-form Benteke to trade goals in a 1-1 as we sit-in for an 11th placed finish.

Dean said Jack won't be ready to start, so Ollie in for Davis and Elmo in for Cash, Jack on the bench. We have been better away. Get above Leeds, top half finish please.
