Match Summary
| Aston Villa remain without a Premier League (PL) win since the restart (D2, L4) and desperately need points to survive. It’s looking bleak though, as across those six matches since resumption, they’ve managed to score just two goals. Notably, eight of the total 11 match goals across those games arrived in the second half (72.73%). |
| Before the Covid-19 stop, Villa had taken 17 of their 25 points at home (W5, D2, L6) - a points average of 1.31 per match, and possessed a scored goals average of 1.38. With empty stands, that average has plummeted to just 0.25 points, and 0.25 goals per match! Still, they start as a home favourite here for the seventh time this PL season, and have won 50% of such matches so far. |
| Crystal Palace, meanwhile, are on a four-game losing run of their own. Although mathematically safe from relegation, they’ve conceded a whopping 2.75 goals on average across those four defeats. |
| Late goals have generally not been a friend of Palace this season, who ahead of this round, possess the division’s joint highest number of matches lost after a HT draw (eight) - two of their last three matches were lost in this fashion. |
| Players to watch: Douglas Luiz (ASV) was booked in the reverse fixture, and has two yellow cards since resumption. Meanwhile, Jordan Ayew (CRY) has scored over half his PL goals this term away from home - and scored in the reverse. |
| Stat attack: Just one of the seven PL H2Hs since 2013 saw both teams score - and a remarkable five of those ended 1-0 to the victor. |
| Villa’s six matches since resumption have averaged 3.0 yellow cards. |
| A clear majority (64.71%) of Villa’s PL home matches have featured over 2.5 goals. |
| Palace are without a draw in five away games (W2, L3) - with just one of those matches seeing both teams score. |
