Jean Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace) and Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
Crystal Palace will host Aston Villa at Selhurst Park in a clash between a team struggling with tempo and one in excellent form. Palace's injury list remains long, and the latest concern is Jefferson Lerma, who suffered an injury in the 0-2 defeat to Newcastle.
The Eagles have won only 2 of their last 10 matches at Selhurst Park and have failed to win any of their last 5 home games, averaging just 0.75 goals scored and 1.75 goals conceded per game at Selhurst Park. Their expected goals (1.52) suggest they create plenty of chances, but their poor finishing continues to limit their goal-scoring effectiveness.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa arrived at the stadium brimming with confidence after their 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest. Unai Emery's side boasted excellent away statistics, winning 80% of their away games and scoring an average of 2.40 goals per match. Aston Villa also had an impressive expected goals metric of 1.29 away from home, demonstrating their consistency in attack.
However, Aston Villa are at a disadvantage in their head-to-head history: They haven't beaten Palace in the last two seasons and have even lost three of their last four matches. Earlier in the season, before hitting their stride, Aston Villa lost 0-3 to Palace at home. But now, the two teams are in very different form: Aston Villa have won nine of their last ten Premier League matches, while Palace have lost four of their last five winless games.
Consulting experts, former manager Harry Redknapp predicted Aston Villa would win 1-2, while former BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson predicted a 1-1 draw. Sky Sport TV expert Jones Knows predicted Palace would win 2-1, while former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson and former striker Chris Sutton both predicted Villa would win 1-2.
The Crystal Palace - Aston Villa match will take place at 2:30 AM (Vietnam time) on January 8th.
Prediction: Crystal Palace - Aston Villa 1-2

Nevertheless, choosing Aston Villa remains the more appealing option, as they are currently playing at the peak of their form.
