Oliver Glasner’s FA Cup-holding, Shield-winning Eagles head to Villa Park aiming to nick another statement result. Palace’s structure and quick transitions have travelled well under Glasner, and Jean-Philippe Mateta’s form gives bite on the break. Villa search for a first league win, while Palace juggle a midweek European trip yet carry belief and resilience from Wembley. If Palace stay compact and ruthless at set pieces, three points in claret country feel gettable. Up the Eagles.
