Last Saturday against Liverpool the defense was elite and the game ended in a 0-0 draw. Two games ago against Brentford, the game ended in a 1-1 draw. Nathan Ferguson is dealing with an Achillies injury and it doesn’t look like he’s going to be able to go in this game. There was some real issues with the offense in the last game, and that means changes could be coming. Odsonne Edouard and Eberechi Eze are two players who could move into the starting lineup.
Shane’s Free Pick
Crystal Palace’s offense has had some major issues heading into this game, and it’s going to be the case again here. Aston Villa’s offense scored two goals in the last game while the defense gave up zero. Look for it to be much of the same here as Aston Villa is going to get the job done. Back Aston Villa on the money line to cash here.
