Can Emery’s Boys Secure First Win of New Season?

Despite missing out on a UEFA Champions League spot on the final day, Aston Villa had another strong league campaign under the popular Unai Emery. The Villans will be gunning for Europe again this term, but they have made a slow start.

Villa were held to a 0-0 draw by Newcastle United on the opening weekend, though it was a point gained rather than two dropped after Ezri Konsa’s red card. The Midlands club then fell to a disappointing defeat at Brentford on matchday two.

Crystal Palace are unbeaten in five league and cup games, although they have won just once in normal time. In the Premier League, the Eagles have battled to draws against Chelsea and Nottingham Forest.

Oliver Glasner’s men booked their place in the main stage of the UEFA Conference League in midweek, beating Fredrikstad 1-0 on aggregate in the qualifying play-offs. The league will always take priority, but how far can Palace go in Europe?
