Crystal Palace to Win
Steven Gerrard got his Aston Villa career off to a flier against Brighton, though their clash with the Seagulls – in which the Villains recorded an xG of just 1.07 – was touch and go for long periods. On Saturday, Gerrard and Villa face a tougher test of their mettle against an Eagles outfit that haven’t lost any of their last seven Premier League assignments. Palace have claimed seven points from the last nine on offer and their slick football under Patrick Vieira could give Gerrard and his new troops a rude awakening at Selhurst Park.
Both Teams to Score
Palace’s new attacking style under Vieira has been a refreshing change, though it has come at a price in terms of their defensive stability. As a consequence of their tactical shift, both teams to score has been a winning bet in five of their last seven league fixtures and we’re tipping the same market to prove fruitful on Saturday. Villa meanwhile, have notched in seven of their last eight league tussles, though their shutout at the weekend was their first in six matches.
Christian Benteke to Score Anytime
Belgian striker Christian Benteke comes up against his old employers on Saturday and the in-form Eagles frontman will have a point to prove. The 30-year-old is starting to find his feet under Vieira and Benteke’s brace against Burnley last time out brought his tally up to four goals in five Premier League starts. Football has a knack for realising plotlines and Benteke is a generous price to punish his former club this weekend.

Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa preview: Gerrard targeting successive wins
Crystal Palace impressed for long periods again in their 3-3 draw at Burnley on Saturday and but for a set of defensive lapses, they would have secured a deserved victory over the Clarets. Nevertheless, the Eagles pushed their unbeaten streak to seven games in the league and Palace could climb to as high as sixth spot if results go their way this weekend.
Goals inside the final six minutes from Ollie Watkins and Tyrone Mings provided the perfect start for Steven Gerrard in his new role at Aston Villa and the ex-Rangers boss will be determined to start his tenure with successive victories this week. The Villains enjoyed just 37% of the ball in their 2-0 win over Brighton, instead preferring to sit deep and counter. Expect to see a similar setup from the Villains on Saturday.
