Palace Preview: Eagles seek more success in Midlands

The traditional Boxing Day game provides Crystal Palace with the perfect chance to get back to winning ways, as they take on Aston Villa on Saturday, December 26th (15:00).

After a tough afternoon against Liverpool, Palace can make it three games unbeaten on the road when they travel to Villa Park, a ground where Roy Hodgson has had plenty of success in the past.

In fact, Hodgson has won more Premier League games against Villa than any other side, losing only three times in his managerial career.

However Palace will face a Villa side in confident form, unbeaten in three league games including victories over Midlands rivals West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
