Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa kick-off time

crest
Premier League - Game Week 21
Selhurst Park

Today's game between Crystal Palace and Aston Villa will kick off on 7 Jan 2026 at 14:30 EST and 19:30 GMT. 

Match context

Palace are now winless across all competitions in seven matches and are without a win at Selhurst Park since early November. After struggling early in the season, Villa striker Ollie Watkins is the main man again with four goals in his last three outings.

Interestingly, for all of their current form, Villa have found Palace to be a bogey side of late, losing five of the last six meetings.
