Aston Villa will seek to continue their push for a top-half finish to this Premier League season when they rock up at Crystal Palace on Sunday hoping to repeat their 3-0 thrashing of the Eagles back in December.
Villa strolled to a comfortable win over Roy Hodgson’s men on Boxing Day and are heavy favourites to claim another victory here at Selhurst Park.
Dean Smith’s men may have run out of steam in their efforts to secure a European spot for next season but can still mark this as a successful campaign with three Premier League fixtures remaining.
Palace, meanwhile, staved off danger of a late relegation battle and have been largely coasting in the final few games of the season, where their form has dramatically worsened.
Four defeats from their last five games hasn’t exactly raised the spirits in the capital and Hodgson would likely take a draw from this game if it were handed to him before kick-off.

Our prediction: Crystal Palace v Aston Villa
Villa are scrambling to pick up points and finish as high as they can following a successful second season back in the Premier League, and they will likely take the game to Palace here.
There is a sense that the Eagles have tailed off over the remaining weeks of the campaign, which means, should Villa bring some intensity to Selhurst Park, this could become a goal-fest.
With Watkins back from suspension and Grealish potentially starting, Villa’s attacking threat will only increase. The visitors should take the three points.
Our prediction: Crystal Palace 0-2 Aston Villa (12/1 at bet365)
