We're live in south London as Villa take on Patrick Vieira's Eagles, a side that were decent value in their 1-1 draw with Liverpool earlier this week.

But he goes short, plays a one-two with McGinn and the attack fizzles out as Palace clear. Buendia's intended ball was to McGinn who was in acres of space but Bailey gets a touch on it and it allows Palace keeper Guaita to claim. The Villa man brings down Zaha with a reckless challenge on the near touchline. Buendia with a lovely ball out wide to Cash whose cross is blocked behind. The Villa man appears to have Guehi's number early on here which bodes well. Kamara then brings the big Palace forward down and we have a free-kick in a really dangerous area here. Eze swings it in but Mings is first one to connect with a header. It's Palace's turn for a spell of possession here but, as I say that, Buendia wins the ball back before Digne loses it. Ayew opted for a side-foot towards the near corner but Martinez was equal to it. They’re really close to the game, they make it a really exciting place to go and play. He hits the Villa wall. The £26million defender is hopeful of a playing return in 2023 but, today, he’ll be replaced in [Villa’s starting XI](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/all-about/aston-villa-fc) by one of Ezri Konsa or Calum Chambers.

Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa live: A pair of popular dark-horse picks are set for a fascinating litmus test at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

The 29-year-old was set to serve as the midfield lynchpin for Steven Gerrard’s side, likely forcing Aston Villa back into the transfer market (at least) once more this window. OUT: Diego Carlos (achilles) Saturday’s clash with Aston Villa is but a brief reprieve, though, with a trip to champions Manchester City on the docket next weekend, followed by Manchester United and Chelsea as the calendar turns to October. There are still questions over Crystal Palace’s ability to create scoring chances through anyone other than Wilfried Zaha, but the midfield and defense have matured even from Vieira’s first season in charge, despite the departure of Conor Gallagher back to Chelsea. Odsonne Edouard will score a fair few goals by proximity to Zaha and Eze, but he serves the side best as a facilitator dropping in between the lines. They have even fewer clean sheets (two) in that span.

Patrick Vieira's side travelled to Anfield to face Liverpool on Monday without big expectations, following a run of 10 consecutive defeats against the Reds.
