Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace Preview

Game Week 3 comes to a close on Monday morning when the Villans host the Eagles.

Crystal Palace have made a strong start to the season, claiming the Community Shield against Liverpool, before holing the Blues to a 0-0 draw at the Bridge and playing out a 1-1 stalemate against new rivals Nottingham.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa are fortunate to have picked up one point across their opening two fixtures, after being thoroughly outplayed in a draw against the Toon, before losing out 1-0 to the Bees on the road, leaving them without a goal this season.

Palace carved out a 2-2 draw the on their last trip to Villa Park, and have established themselves as an upper table Premier League nuisance.

I’m backing the Eagles to complete a hat trick of draws to start their season.
