Aston Villa aims to move ahead of Crystal Palace in the Premier League standings as they prepare to host the Eagles at Villa Park this Saturday.
While Aston Villa has secured six points out of a possible twelve this season, Crystal Palace has accumulated seven points from their initial four top-flight matches.
Except for their dominant 8-0 aggregate win over Hibernian to qualify for the Europa Conference League group stage, Aston Villa has had a mixed start to the new season. They have won two and lost two of their first four Premier League fixtures. In their previous outing, Unai Emery's squad suffered a 3-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield, with a Matty Cash own goal combined with goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah, leaving Aston Villa positioned 10th in the league.
Aston Villa eagerly anticipates returning to their home ground, where they have triumphed in their last eight top-flight matches, amassing an impressive scoreline of 18-2. This sequence includes a comfortable 4-0 victory against Everton at the end of August. Their winning streak at Villa Park began with a narrow 1-0 win against Crystal Palace in March, extending their undefeated home record against the Eagles to six matches.
Emery and his team are determined to get back to winning ways in this favorable fixture and build positive momentum ahead of their Europa Conference League opener against Legia Warsaw in Poland and an upcoming Premier League away match against Chelsea.
Crystal Palace entered the international break in high spirits, securing a 3-2 home victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League after a thrilling comeback win against Plymouth Argyle in the EFL Cup second round, ending 4-2 in their favor.
Following a goalless first half, Eberechi Eze scored in between goals from Odsonne Edouard, helping the Eagles secure their second league victory of the season, propelling them to seventh place in the table with seven points from four games. They are just three points behind the top four.
