Can Villans End Winless Run Against Eagles?

Crystal Palace are having a fine season under Oliver Glasner, sitting 12^th in the Premier League after 11 wins, 11 defeats, and 12 draws. In midweek, the Eagles picked up a handy 2-2 draw with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Palace’s journey to the semi-finals started with a hard-fought 1-0 home victory over Stockport County before wins against Doncaster Rovers and Millwall. In the quarters, Eberechi Eze, Ismaila Sarr, and Eddie Nketiah netted in an impressive 3-0 win at Fulham.

Aston Villa are chasing down a UEFA Champions League place in the Premier League. Despite suffering a setback at Manchester City in the week, Unai Emery’s men are just two points away from the top five.

The league may take priority, but the Villans would love to win the FA Cup for the first time since 1957. On their way to the last four, they have seen off West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, Cardiff City, and Preston North End.
