Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace official line-ups: Team news ahead of Premier League fixture today

Aston Villa host Crystal Palace in the Premier League this afternoon.

Dean Smith’s side are desperately attempting to escape the clutches of relegation, with Villa now seven points adrift of safety after Watford defeated Newcastle yesterday.

Villa have lost their last three games in succession and another today could all but confirm their demotion to the Championship.

Palace, meanwhile, came within the width of a post of drawing against Chelsea last time out and a strong finish could see the Eagles clinch a top-10 finish.
