Draw
For our first Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace prediction we're backing a draw. The Eagles have only lost one of their last four league meetings with Aston Villa and the hosts have failed to win either of their last two home games. Aston Villa aren't in the best of form right now with one win and three defeats from their last four league games, while Palace have drawn five of their last six matches in the Premier League.
Both Teams to Score
Our second Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace prediction is for both teams to score on Saturday. The last four league meetings between the two clubs have produced goals at both ends of the pitch. Four of Aston Villa's and four of Crystal Palace's last six outings in the Premier League have ended with both teams getting on the scoreboard, adding plenty of weight to our prediction.

Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace Lineups
Aston Villa
Aston Villa didn't put in their best performance away at Everton last weekend but their finishing was supirior and earned them all 3pts in the end. Villa weren;t really in the game until the 63rd-minute when Watkins converted a penalty and 9-minutes from time, Buendia added a second goal to ensure the visitors their victory. Coutinho, Olsen, Carlos and Steer are the main injury concerns ahead of Saturday's game against Crystal Palace.
Predicted Lineup – Martínez (GK), Digne, Mings, Konsa, Cash, McGinn, Kamara, Luiz, Ramsey, Watkins & Bailey
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace will have been the happir of the two sides with the end result of their last game at home to Liverpool. Neither side could find a breakthrough during the 90-minutes and the game ended goalless. The Eagles could be without Johnstone, Zaha and Ferguson for the trip to the Midlands this weekend but have proven hard to beat without those players in recent weeks.
Predicted Lineup – Guaita (GK), Clyne, Andersen, Guéhi, Mitchell, Schlupp, Lokonga, Doucouré, Olise, Ayew & Mateta

Player to Watch: Ollie Watkins
Aston Villa's main man up front is in the midst of a rich vein of form that has seen the England international score in each of his last five matches for the club.
While we have backed this game to end in a draw, Watkins could make all the difference for the hosts if he enjoys another fruitful 90-minutes in front of goal and as we have backed both teams to score, don;t be surprised if Watkins nets for the home side.
Watkins top scores for Aston Villa this season with 8-goals in the Premier League alone and he has made himself irriplaceable under Emery after falling out of favour with Villa's former manager Steven Gerrard.
Watkins is certainly the player to watch in this game as he is full of confidence right now and scoring for fun.
