How to watch today's Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace Premier League game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Unai Emery’s men are still chasing their first win of the campaign, having managed just a single point from their opening two fixtures. 

Palace, meanwhile, are yet to taste victory in the league as well, though they remain unbeaten across all five of their competitive outings so far this season, a sign of resilience even if wins have been hard to come by.

Aston Villa team news

Villa will be boosted by the return of Ezri Konsa, who is back from suspension and expected to slot straight into the defence. However, they'll be without Boubacar Kamara, who picked up an ankle knock against Bournemouth and is set for a short layoff. That absence could see John McGinn pushed deeper into midfield, with Donyell Malen handed a rare start further forward.

Crystal Palace team news

On the Palace side, Daichi Kamada edges closer to making his first league appearance after sitting out the opening two games. Cheick Doucoure and Eddie Nketiah remain unavailable as they continue their recovery spells.
