It's another chance (like the Leicester game) to open a huge gap between top half and the rest. A win is essential to close the gap on the likes of Brentford, Fulham and Brighton who we really should be finishing above. 3-0 Villa.

Last year's home one, with the whole European Cup celebration, was turgid. I saw a load of the '82 squad coming out if the ground though, so that was good.Even the home game against them the season we won the league in 1980-81 was a bit rubbish. I think it was played in February and by that time Palace were hopelessly marooned at the bottom of the table, yet we stuttered our way to a 2-1 win, a performance apparently felt by the Villa Park faithful to have been so lacklustre as to warrant a round of booing at full time!Funnily enough, my old mum only ever attended one game at Villa Park, and that was Palace at home, possibly 1973 but I'm not sure.
