Palace Preview: Eagles mustn't underestimate struggling Villa

The stats do not bode well for Aston Villa ahead of their clash with Crystal Palace on Sunday (12th July).

The Villans are currently trapped in the relegation zone and playing in the league's longest active winless run, picking up just two points from their last 10 league matches.

And after a comprehensive 3-0 loss to Manchester United midweek, supporters cannot be blamed for assuming Villa are there for the taking.

But it would be risky to underestimate Dean Smith's men.

The Villans face a challenging run of fixtures over the next two weeks, with both Arsenal and Everton on the horizon and a final-day clash with relegation-threatened West Ham United bringing the season to a close.
