Crystal Palace responded to their recent home setback against Everton in the best possible way, securing a 2-0 victory over Fulham in a London derby that showcased their resilience.
That win propelled them to 13th place in the Premier League standings, and with momentum on their side, they will be hoping to push towards a top-half finish. Across their last 11 matches in all competitions, only two have ended in defeat, a run that has seen them pick up seven victories along the way.
Despite that impressive form, their struggles at Selhurst Park remain a concern. Both of those recent defeats came on home soil, where they have found it difficult to impose themselves this season. A stark contrast in their results highlights the issue, as Palace have collected more than twice as many points away from home than they have managed in front of their own supporters. However, they might take encouragement from their strong record in midweek fixtures, having won four of their last five matches played on a Tuesday.
Aston Villa will be the latest visitors to South London, arriving with renewed confidence after a hard-fought 2-1 comeback win over Chelsea at the weekend. That result ended a frustrating five-match winless streak in the league and provided a much-needed boost to their European qualification ambitions. However, their away form has been a significant stumbling block, with six defeats in their last eight Premier League outings on the road.
One source of optimism for Villa could be their impressive record against teams from the capital. Over their last 26 Premier League encounters with London-based sides, they have suffered just five defeats while emerging victorious in 15 of those clashes. Their extensive involvement in European competition this season has also made them no strangers to midweek fixtures, and their recent Tuesday night record is outstanding, with 16 wins from their last 20 matches played on this day.
Palace will be hoping for another big performance from Jean-Philippe Mateta, who has been a nightmare for Villa in recent meetings. The French forward ran the show when these sides last met at Selhurst Park, scoring a hat-trick and providing an assist in a remarkable display. His overall record against Villa is just as impressive, with seven goal contributions across his last five league appearances against them.
For the visitors, their January signing Marco Asensio could be the man to watch. The Spanish playmaker was instrumental in their victory over Chelsea, netting twice to continue an incredible personal streak—his teams have not lost any of the last 35 matches in which he has scored. His composure in front of goal and creative spark could be key to Villa’s chances of leaving Selhurst Park with a positive result.
One trend that suggests this could be an entertaining contest is the recent history between these two teams. Seven of the last nine meetings have seen both sides find the back of the net, hinting at the possibility of another action-packed encounter.
With Palace looking to rediscover their home form and Villa seeking to build on their recent triumph, both teams have plenty to play for. The Eagles will be eager to give their supporters something to cheer about after recent disappointments at Selhurst Park, while Villa will be desperate to shake off their travel struggles and keep pace in the race for European football.
This match presents an intriguing battle between a Palace side that has excelled on the road but faltered at home and a Villa team that boasts strong results against London opposition yet continues to struggle away from Villa Park. Something will have to give when these two teams face off under the Selhurst Park lights.
As the Premier League season enters a crucial phase, every point carries significant weight. Palace will view this as a chance to strengthen their position in mid-table, while Villa knows that any slip-ups could damage their European aspirations. With key players in form and a history of lively contests between these sides, this promises to be another gripping Premier League showdown.
