Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa team news: Glasner & Emery name lineups in Premier League

Oliver Glasner and Unai Emery have named their starting lineups and substitutes ahead of this evening’s Premier League clash between Crystal Palace and Aston Villa.

The two teams have arrived at Selhurst Park, ready to fight it out in the latest instalment of what has proved to be a rather heated encounter in recent seasons. Palace have been Villa’s bogey team under Emery, with five wins for the Eagles in the last six meetings. Emery will be desperate to turn the tide.

If Palace’s recent form is anything to go by, this could well be the night Villa get one back. The Eagles are currently on a seven-match run without a win and were last victorious on December 11, when they faced Irish outfit Shelbourne FC in the Europa Conference League.

Villa, soaring high up in third, have rather astonishingly won 13 of their last 14 Premier League matches. If ever there was a time to beat Palace, it’s now. But Villa must do so without Tyrone Mings, who misses out through injury. Pau Torres is back in the matchday squad, though, so that’s a boost.

Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa lineups

Without further ado, here’s how both teams shape up at Selhurst.

Palace XI: Henderson (GK); Canvot, Lacroix, Guehi; Devenny; Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell; Johnson, Pino, Mateta.

Palace subs: Benitez (GK), Uche, Sosa, Richards, Rodney, King, Benamar, Casey, Drakes-Thomas.

Villa XI: Martinez (GK); Cash, Konsa, Lindelof, Digne; Kamara, Tielemans; McGinn, Rogers, Sancho; Watkins.
