Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace Pre-Match

[Allan C]

3-0 to us, don’t care who scores.

[Clark W Griswold]

Should be a reasonably easy win, but hard to be confident with our home form. I will be optimistic though and predict a 3-1.

[Drummond]

They've had a tough run of games, Man Utd, Newcastle, and Brighton at home, Brentford away before Liverpool and managed to draw 4 out of 5. It won't be easy.

[Nev]

Another fascinating game in the first part of this Managers reign. After arresting a rocky run by, not only grabbing the points but also keeping a clean sheet we come to a game where we will be expected to win, as we were against Leicester.
The opponents are tough as the run of draws indicates but I think we will have enough. Another clean sheet might be fanciful though.

3-1

[Goldenballs]

I think we'll win, which normally means we lose.

[Hookeysmith]

I like the fact that UE knows we have a bit of a problem growing at home and expect him to strategically and tactically sort this out.

In an ideal scenario

We win the game with some ease (rather than taking us all to the point of a coronary)
We play some decent football
We keep a back to back clean sheet

Ever so accidentally of course, Mings scrapes his studs down Zaha's throat leaving him crying to the ref like the total baby that he is

Zahas a pantomime villain at VP but id gave him in our team all day long

[rob_bridge]

These are as bad as Everton at the minute - play smart and we can beat them readily

[Brend'Watkins]

There might be a sending off in this, there usually is.

[PeterWithesShin]

They can be hard to break down but are pretty shit overall, they've only beaten shit sides this season. Us under Action Man are probably the best side they've beaten and we were utterly shit back then.

3-1 win to the good guys.

I think they're mostly pretty ordinary, but in Zaha, Eze and Olise, they have three players who can be very dangerous on their day.

[LeeB]

Zaha has been out injured and will only start training this week apparently

[Risso]

Zaha has been out injured and will only start training this week apparently

I think he's a bit more advanced than that, this was the report from Friday before the Liverpool game:

"The Eagles talisman trained with the team this week, although Vieira said a decision on the winger’s availability will need to wait until the day of the game."

Put a tenner on him scoring against us then.

[LeeB]

Oh great.
