Aston Villa will lock horns with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park this Saturday afternoon as they hope to secure all three points on their travels. The Villans managed to pick up an impressive 2-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion last weekend which will give them a lot of confidence ahead of this game.
Steven Gerrard will set his team up in a 4-3-3 formation and could name an unchanged side for this clash versus the Eagles. Hence, we can expect Danny Ings to lead the charge for the West Midlands team once again this weekend.
4-3-3 Aston Villa Predicted Lineup To Face Crystal Palace
Defence
Emiliano Martinez will feature in between the sticks for the Villans after he earned a clean sheet versus the Seagulls in his last league outing. Tyrone Mings will operate alongside Ezri Konsa at the centre of Gerrard’s defence as they look to stop the Eagles from scoring this Saturday.
Matty Cash will function at right-back while Matt Targett hopes to put in a productive display as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to get forward and express themselves in the opposition half as they try to create some decent chances from the wide areas.
Axel Tuanzebe will be available for selection on the Villans bench as he offers cover for the centre-back positions.

Midfield
Jacob Ramsey will get another chance to anchor the midfield alongside Marvelous Nakamba and John McGinn as they try to engineer a few clear-cut chances for their teammates in the attacking end of the field.
Douglas Luiz is back in training but might not be risked from the start. Morgan Sanson should also be ready to start on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Attack
Ollie Watkins scored a wonderful goal in his last league start, so he will be full of confidence when he laces up to face the Eagles as Aston Villa’s left-winger. Emiliano Buendia could get another shot to impress from the right.
Danny Ings is expected to spearhead Gerrard’s attack down the middle as he carries most of the goal-scoring workload up top.
