On the final day of the Premier League season, Crystal Palace will welcome Champions League-bound Aston Villa to Selhurst Park on May 19, 2024, at 4:00 PM UK time. The Eagles are looking to continue their marvellous form and finish inside the top half of the league standings, while Villa, already assured of a Champions League spot, aim to end their season on a high note.
Detailed Analysis
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace have experienced a resurgence under former Eintracht Frankfurt head coach Oliver Glasner, who has led the team to five wins in their last six Premier League matches. Their latest victory, a 3-1 triumph over Wolverhampton Wanderers, highlighted their attacking prowess, with Michael Olise, Jean-Philippe Mateta, and Eberechi Eze all finding the net.
Palace have collected 16 points from their last six matches, showcasing their impressive form heading into the final gameweek. While an 11th straight midtable finish might seem unremarkable to some, the Eagles have been a joy to watch under Glasner. Mateta has been particularly prolific at Selhurst Park, scoring five goals in their last three home matches.
A win against Aston Villa could take Palace to 49 points and potentially lift them into the top half of the table, depending on results elsewhere.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa, under the guidance of Unai Emery, have secured a spot in next season’s Champions League, their first appearance in UEFA’s premier club competition since the 1982-83 season. Despite their recent success, Villa have experienced a dip in form, currently enduring a five-game winless run across all competitions.
Villa’s latest outing saw them earn a dramatic point against Liverpool, with Jhon Duran’s brace completing a sensational comeback. The Villans are cemented in fourth place, 11 points behind Liverpool and five points ahead of fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur.
Ollie Watkins has enjoyed his most prolific Premier League season, scoring 19 goals in 36 appearances. He will be a key player for Villa as they look to end their campaign on a positive note.
Head-to-Head and Previous Encounters
Crystal Palace and Aston Villa have faced each other 52 times in the Premier League, with Villa holding a slight edge with 20 wins to Palace’s 15. Their last meeting saw Villa secure a 1-0 victory at Villa Park in September 2023. Both teams will be eager to claim the three points on Sunday.
Team News
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace will be without midfielder Will Hughes, who is sidelined with a bruised bone. Jefferson Lerma is available for selection, increasing the hosts’ options in midfield. Naouirou Ahamada will miss the final fixture of the season due to suspension.
Crystal Palace’s possible starting lineup:
- Goalkeeper: Henderson
- Defenders: Clyne, Andersen, Richards, Mitchell
- Midfielders: Munoz, Lerma, Wharton
- Forwards: Olise, Eze, Mateta
Aston Villa
Aston Villa have a major injury concern with Nicolo Zaniolo set to be sidelined until August due to a foot injury. Emiliano Martinez will remain in goal despite a recent error. Jhon Duran is unlikely to replace Ollie Watkins or Moussa Diaby in the starting lineup.
Aston Villa’s possible starting lineup:
- Goalkeeper: Martinez
- Defenders: Konsa, Carlos, Torres, Digne
- Midfielders: Bailey, Tielemans, Luiz, McGinn
- Forwards: Diaby, Watkins
Prediction
Match Outcome
Crystal Palace’s impressive home form and Aston Villa’s recent dip in form suggest that the hosts have the edge in this encounter. Palace’s attacking trio of Olise, Eze, and Mateta will be key to their success.
