CRYSTAL PALACE will be eager to build on their hard fought draw against Liverpool when they welcome Aston Villa to South London on Saturday.
The Eagles executed the perfect counter-attacking move at Anfield to go 1-0 up completely against the run of play.
But Patrick Vieira’s men will be kicking themselves for not coming away with all three points especially after Darwin Nunez’s sending off.
And now, Palace find themselves facing a Villa side who will be full of confidence having scraped a 2-1 win over Everton last weekend.
However, Villa’s frailties have already been exposed on the opening weekend of the season by Premier League new boys Bournemouth.

However, the Crystal Palace boss could revert to bringing either Odsonne Edouard or Jean Phillippe-Mateta back to the starting eleven despite Wilfried Zaha excelling in the up-top role at Anfield.
Michael Olise also made his return to action after some time out in the treatment room so the young starlet will be pushing for a start.
Elsewhere, Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard would have been delighted to escape from the gruelling match against Everton with no fresh injury concerns.
Which could see the Liverpool legend go with the exact same team who picked up three points last weekend.
