Crystal Palace welcome Aston Villa to Selhurst Park in the Premier League’s early kick-off.

The Eagles have lost four of their last five matches and it appears as though Roy Hodgson’s tenure is coming to end, with the veteran coach remaining tight-lipped over his future.

Palace have long been assured of safety, however, it will still be a period of great transition for the club, with several senior players also set to move on in the summer when their contracts expire.

Villa, meanwhile, have seen their hopes of securing European football fade over the past three months. That was in large part due to the absence of Jack Grealish, who finally returned in the club’s goalless draw against Everton earlier this week.

Here is everything you need to know:

When is it and what time does it start?

The match will begin at 12pm on Sunday 16 May at Selhurst Park.

How can I watch it online and on TV?

The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event.
