Palace's 0-2 defeat to the Gunners kicked off the new EPL season, but that was followed by a surprise point at Anfield. Another tough away trip, this time to the Etihad to face Man City, awaits next weekend - so it's vital that Palace grab all three points here. They may not quite be of the level of Liverpool or Man City, but Aston Villa will still prove a tough test for many teams this season. They recorded their first win of the season last week against Everton, with goals from Danny Ings and Emi Buendia sealing the victory. However, what should have been a glorious day was marred by an injury to new center-back Diego Carlos; the Brazilian could be out for six months with an Achilles injury. Here's how they line up: Crystal Palace: Guaita, Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Ayew, Doucoure, Schlupp, Eze, Zaha, Edouard. Aston Villa: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne, Kamara, McGinn, Ramsey, Buendia, Bailey, Watkins. Both of these sides want to push into the Premier League top half this season, and Palace especially could do with a win to see them a tricky start to the season. See how this one plays out by watching a Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa live stream.
