Unai Emery and Oliver Glasner were the gold standard last season. Barely a quarter of the way through the current campaign, they're both stuck in a rut. Winless in five and coming off a run of four consecutive defeats, Villa have dropped to 9th in the standings, albeit one point off third.
Tyrone Mings' return was supposed to shore up a backline that's managed one clean sheet all season, but it looks more porous than ever, while Ollie Watkins continues to find new and increasingly perplexing ways of fluffing his lines. He netted for England during the international break, but also added fresh material to his bloopers reel.
For Palace, the absences of the disappointing Eberechi Eze and Daichi Kamada could present an opportunity for Glasner, who's had two weeks to rip up a blueprint that no longer works without Michael Olise. Key to their hopes is Jean-Philippe Mateta, who scored a hat-trick in the Eagles' 5-0 thrashing of Villa last season.

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the soccer on your usual subscription?
You can still watch Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are, making it ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market — find out why we love it in our NordVPN review.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're away from the U.S. and want to view your usual American service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to a service listed below that's showing Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace and watch the game.
Watch Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace in the U.S.
Soccer fans in the U.S. can watch the Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace live stream on Peacock, NBC's streaming service. To tune in, you'll need to be signed up for either a Premium subscription ($7.99/month) or Premium Plus ($13.99/month), which also gets rid of some ads.
If you're outside of the U.S. but have one of these subscriptions, you can watch the Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace live stream by using a VPN such as NordVPN.
Can you watch Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace in the U.K.?
Unfortunately, there will be no Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace live stream in the U.K.. That's because games that kick-off at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon are subject to a TV blackout, to protect attendances elsewhere in the league pyramid.
Fans visiting the U.K. from abroad can use one of the best VPN services to access their usual streaming service from abroad. We recommend NordVPN.
As it stands, live Premier League rights are split three ways in the U.K. between Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime Video.
For the 24/25 season, Sky Sports is set to show 128 matches live, while TNT Sports will show 52 matches live, including every Saturday lunchtime kick-off. Amazon Prime Video has the rights to 20 matches this season.
