Aston Villa team news

While Kortney Hause continues his long-term recovery from an abdominal issue, Villa may also be without Leon Bailey. Steven Gerrard was optimistic about the dynamic wide-man returning before the season's conclusion but Sunday could be too soon.

Jacob Ramsey missed the last two games against Burnley and Liverpool with a groin injury but Gerrard admitted there was "a decent chance" he could feature this weekend.

Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace score prediction

As the wafer-thin difference in their Premier League positions after 35 games suggests, these clubs are pretty evenly matched.

Villa won the reverse fixture 2-1 at the start of Gerrard's reign but recorded their lowest expected goals (xG) figure of the season that game (per FBref), converting the few chances they had.

Home advantage may give Villa a slight edge but, with both sides safe for another season of top-flight football, the pair could cancel each out with a draw.

Prediction: Aston Villa 1-1 Crystal Palace
