Crystal Palace set sights on 10th-place D-day finish.
In a thrilling season finale, Crystal Palace, eyeing a top-ten finish, host Aston Villa, who aim to cap their impressive campaign with a victory, at Selhurst Park this Sunday.
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace moved two places up the table after picking up back-to-back victories last weekend, following a 3-1 win over Wolves. Goals from the in-form trio of Michael Olise, Jean-Philippe Mateta, and Eberechi Eze got the Eagles over the line despite going down to ten men in the 85th minute.
Palace are in 12th place with 46 points and are mathematically capable of finishing two places up the table, with 10th-placed Brighton and 11th-placed Bournemouth just two points away. Crystal Palace will have to beat Aston Villa to have any chance of reaching the top ten on D-Day.
They will be oozing with confidence ahead of Sunday’s clash, having won more Premier League home games against Aston Villa than they have against any other opponent. Furthermore, Palace could go 12 games unbeaten in a Match Day 38 game played on home turf, having escaped defeat in the last 11.
A 3—4—2—1 formation with a front three consisting of Olise, Eberechi Eze, and Jean-Philippe Mateta is expected in attack. Naouirou Ahamada is suspended for the final game of the season following a red card against Wolves.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa’s dramatic 3-3 comeback draw with Liverpool helped the visitors secure a 4th-place finish after Spurs fell to a 2-0 loss to Manchester City in the midweek round of fixtures.
The Claret & Blue Army, who are without a win in three games, sealed a spot in the upcoming revamped edition of the UEFA Champions League with 68 points from 20 wins, 8 draws, and 9 losses.
Despite what could be described as a dead-rubber game for the Villans, they will be looking to finish the season with a win. Victory here would mark Aston Villa's first league double over Crystal Palace since 1980-81, following a 3-1 win against the hosts in the reverse fixture.
They would also be keen to extend a 10-game unbeaten Premier League away run in London.
Unai Emery could opt for a 4-4-2 formation with Ollie Watkins and Jhon Durán in attack against Palace. Aston Villa will be without up to eight players for this match, with Alex Moreno and Nicolo Zaniolo both being candidates for a late assessment.
