Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace Preview

Aston Villa, under Unai Emery, will rely on a 4-3-3 formation with key players like Ollie Watkins leading the attack, supported by Leon Bailey and Morgan Rogers. The midfield, featuring Youri Tielemans and Boubacar Kamara (if fit), will be crucial, though Kamara remains sidelined with a hamstring injury, alongside Chadi Riad (ACL recovery) and Eddie Nketiah (out until late September).

Doubts linger over Ross Barkley and Andres Garcia, who are working back to fitness. Crystal Palace, managed by Oliver Glasner, will deploy a 4-2-3-1 with Eberechi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta upfront. However, injuries plague the squad, with Cheick Doucoure and Caleb Kporha out, and Matheus Franca a doubt with an adductor issue. Daichi Kamada’s quicker-than-expected return offers some hope.
