Palace are in exceptional form and should approach this match with great confidence. Results at home have also been hugely encouraging since Glasner's arrival, suffering just two losses in their last ten games at Selhurst Park.

Having already secured Champions League football for next season, Villa may ease off a bit, potentially giving Palace an advantage to secure maximum points.

Palace could sneak a win but Villa's midweek boost of Champions League qualification may help them to a draw.
