Crystal Palace are hoping a change of scenery will do them the world of good in ending their winless run. On matchday 21 of the Premier League, they welcome high-flying Aston Villa to Selhurst Park. Palace are in 14th place in the league standings, while Villa are in third place and six points behind the top spot. Let's head into our match prediction.
Results have not been going Crystal Palace's way in the past weeks. The Eagles have gone seven matches without a win across all competitions. This includes an EFL Cup quarter-final exit, which was inflicted by league leaders Arsenal. Oliver Glasner will be eyeing a return to winning ways, which they should feel is within their grasp.
Aston Villa are enjoying a great run at the moment. The visitors have won 12 of their last 13 matches across all competitions. They hope this is enough to end a six-match winless run in this fixtur,e including a three-match losing streak.

Crystal Palace - Aston Villa: Form Analysis
Crystal Palace rounded off 2025 with a five-match winless run across all competitions. Their troubles seem to have followed them in the new year as they've failed to win their first two games.
The Eagles had their backs against the wall in a recent league game against Newcastle United. In unfamiliar territory, they found themselves on the receiving end of a 2-0 defeat. Both goals were conceded late in the game.
Head coach Oliver Glasner will be hoping for an improved performance from his side at home. However, that will be too much to ask, considering they are six games without a win at Selhurst Park.
Aston Villa have lost four matches in a row at Selhurst Park
Aston Villa returned to winning ways in the Premier League last time out at the expense of Nottingham Forest. John McGinn scored twice to guide his side to a comfortable 3-1 home victory.
Before this, the Villans dropped valuable points against table-toppers Arsenal in a 4-1 away defeat, hurting their chances in the title race and also ending an 11-match winning streak.
Unai Emery's men are on the road this time around. Away from home, they've won five of their last six matches. However, their performance at this venue have been below expectations, losing four straight games.
