Aston Villa v Crystal Palace: Did you know?

After 1,026 games as a manager, Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has lost four consecutive games for the first time, a run that started with a Carabao Cup defeat by Crystal Palace last month.

The Spaniard could also lose his first three meetings with Oliver Glasner, something he last did against one counterpart in March 2018 (Zinedine Zidane).

Meanwhile, Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta has scored more Premier League goals (four) against Villa than any other team, and recorded his joint-most assists (two). The Frenchman was directly involved in four of the Eagles' goals - including scoring a hat-trick - in their 5-0 win over Emery's side on the final day of last season.
