Two teams that enjoyed contrasting fortunes at the weekend will come together at Selhurst Park on Wednesday evening. It's Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa. The Eagles didn't fly too high at St. James' Park, losing by two goals to zero, while they've now failed to win any of their last five league games, going seven games in all competitions without tasting success.
Unlike the hosts, who are not in flying form, the Villans continued to soar at the weekend, beating Nottingham Forest by a reasonably convincing margin, recording their 12th win in 13 games (in all competitions). Unai Emery's men have now won all but one of their last ten league games, leaving them sitting in a rather lofty third position, behind Man City on goal difference alone.

Our Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa Prediction
Let's be real, Morgan Rogers comes alive in games of this nature. I'm not saying that he flops against the big boys, but in games against those not really fighting for the top five, he's at his best, scoring six goals in his last six games of this nature.
We recently saw Rogers register three shots on target against Man United, while he tested the West Ham keeper multiple times too. Given his excellent stats in games such as this, he looks far too generously priced to register a shot on target, it really is that simple. Take the value that -120 offers.
Our Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa Pick: Morgan Rogers 1+ Shots on Target.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
