Aston Villa will be looking to leapfrog Crystal Palace in the Premier League table when they welcome the Eagles to Villa Park on Saturday afternoon.

While the hosts have picked up six points from a possible 12 available so far this season, the visitors have accumulated seven points from their first four top-flight fixtures.

Unai Emery's men were put to the sword 3-0 against Liverpool at Anfield before the international break, with a Matty Cash own goal sandwiched between strikes from Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah, leaving the Lions sitting 10th in the table.

Villa will welcome a return to home soil where they have won each of their last eight top-flight matches by an aggregate score of 18-2, including a comfortable 4-0 victory against Everton at the end of August.

Their impressive winning run at Villa Park began with a slender 1-0 success over Saturday's opponents Crystal Palace in March, a result that extended their unbeaten home record against the Eagles to six matches.
