Latest Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace team information
Villa not only lost to Brentford but also lost midfielder Boubacar Kamara due to a thigh injury. Although coach Emery has not ruled out the possibility of him being able to play, the British press said Kamara could be out for at least 2 weeks. In addition, Ross Barkley and Andres Garcia are still unable to return. The good news is that center-back Ezri Konsa has finished his suspension and will return, threatening Pau Torres' starting spot.
Palace have announced new signing Yeremy Pino from Villarreal to fill the void left by Eberechi Eze. The Spanish youngster is fit to make his debut this weekend. Chris Richards is also available despite a minor ankle problem. Will Hughes, meanwhile, needs further tests, while Edouard (Achilles), Caleb Kporha (back), Matheus Franca (groin), Eddie Nketiah (thigh), Cheick Doucoure (knee) and Chadi Riad (knee) are all out.
A familiar “nemesis” of Aston Villa is Ismaila Sarr – who just scored last week. In 6 starts against Villa, he has directly had a hand in 10 goals (7 goals, 3 assists).

Latest football commentary on Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace
Having failed to win or score in their first two Premier League games, Aston Villa opened with a 0-0 draw against Newcastle which was acceptable, but a 0-1 defeat to Brentford in the second round was completely disappointing.
Despite Brentford losing a number of key players such as Bryan Mbeumo, Thomas Frank, Christian Norgaard, Mark Flekken and Yoane Wissa wanting to leave, Villa were still helpless when Dango Ouattara scored the only goal in the 12th minute. Including the loss to Manchester United in the final round of last season, Unai Emery's team have gone 3 consecutive matches without a win and a goal in the Premier League. In history, only in the 1997-98 season did they fail to score in all 3 opening matches of the National Championship.
Finding that scoring touch is paramount, especially as Villa face the Europa League group stage, where they face Red Bull Salzburg, Feyenoord, Maccabi Tel Aviv, Fenerbahce, Young Boys, Basel, Bologna and Go Ahead Eagles.
Villa, however, still have pride at Villa Park, having enjoyed a 19-game unbeaten run at home in the Premier League – the longest of any English club.
As for Crystal Palace, Oliver Glasner's team has remained unbeaten since the start of the season in all competitions, extending their unbeaten streak to 13 official matches (including the Community Shield win over Liverpool). However, in the Premier League, Palace have only had two draws: 1-1 with Nottingham Forest (Hudson-Odoi equalized after Sarr's opening goal) and 0-0 against Chelsea.
In Europe, Palace have qualified for the Conference League group stage after beating Fredrikstad 1-0 on aggregate, despite a 0-0 draw in the second leg. They will face AZ Alkmaar and Strasbourg in the group stage.
Palace’s strength lies in their away form: since November 2024, they have lost just two away games in the Premier League – the second-fewest in the division, behind only Arsenal (1). Last season, Palace drew 2-2 at Villa Park, then won 4-1 at Selhurst Park and eliminated Villa 3-0 in the FA Cup semi-finals. Therefore, Glasner and his team can expect a determined Aston Villa to “pay back” this Sunday.
