Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa team news: Glasner and Emery name lineups on Premier League final day


Aston Villa arrive at Crystal Palace this afternoon with a spring in their step after securing Champions League qualification for next campaign. There’s not a great deal to play for in the standings but Emery and his men will be keen to round off this Premier League term on a high regardless.
Palace head into this clash as one of the most in-form teams in the entire division, with 13 points claimed out of the last 15 available. Only relentless title chasers Arsenal and Manchester City have maintained a better record over that period, both with a perfect five-game win streak.
