Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace team news: Starting lineups confirmed for Premier League fixture

Aston Villa and Crystal Palace have announced their starting lineups ahead of this afternoon’s Premier League fixture at Villa Park.

The hosts will be keen to put on a better showing for their supporters after two successive 4-2 defeats on home soil over recent weeks.

There was a step in the right direction last time out with a 2-0 away win at Everton, but the home form remains a bit of an embarrassment.

Palace are the only Premier League team without a win in 2023 but they are still a difficult side to beat, with five draws in their last six games.
