Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace Preview

Crystal Palace are currently in 14th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Eagles were held to a disappointing 0-0 stalemate by Fredrikstad in the Europa Conference League in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.

Aston Villa, on the other hand, are in 17th place in the league table at the moment and have struggled this season. The home side slumped to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Brentford last week and will need to bounce back in this match.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.
