Youri Tielemans starts in midfield with John McGinn, and Morgan Rogers. Donyell Malen is up front with Ollie Watkins and Evann Guessand<\/p>\n<h3>Notable Changes<\/h3>\n<p>An overhaul following the loss to Brentford with what appears to be a 4-3-3 lining up. There&#8217;s no Amadou Onana or Boubacar Kamara who usually line up in defensive spots. Lucas DIgne and Pau Torres also lose their spots in the back line.<\/p>\n<h3>Crystal Palace Team News<\/h3>\n<p>Dean Henderson starts with a back line of Dnaiel Munoz, Chris Richards, Maxence Lacroix, Marc Guehi, and Tyrick Mitchell. Adam Wharton is in midfield with Will Hughes. Ismaila Sarr is up front with Daichi Kamada supporting Jean-Phillipe Mateta as the striker.<\/p>\n<h3>Notable Changes<\/h3>\n<p>There are only two changes from the side who played on Thursday against Fredrikstad. Jefferson Lerma and Sosa lose out for Hughes and Mitchell. The shape is expected to be the same 3-4-2-1 as we&#8217;ve seen from the Seagulls.<\/p>\n<h3>Aston Villa Squad<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Emi Martinez<\/li>\n<li>Marco Bizot<\/li>\n<li>Sam Proctor<\/li>\n<li>James Wright<\/li>\n<li>Matty Cash<\/li>\n<li>Ezri Konsa<\/li>\n<li>Tyrone Mings<\/li>\n<li>Lucas Digne<\/li>\n<li>Pau Torres<\/li>\n<li>Andres Garcia<\/li>\n<li>Ian Maatsen<\/li>\n<li>Lamare Bogarde<\/li>\n<li>Triston Rowe<\/li>\n<li>Ross Barkley<\/li>\n<li>John McGinn<\/li>\n<li>Youri TIelemans<\/li>\n<li>Emiliano Buendia<\/li>\n<li>Jamaldeen Jimboh-Aloba<\/li>\n<li>Amadou Onana<\/li>\n<li>Boubacar Kamara<\/li>\n<li>Bradley Burrows<\/li>\n<li>Olliw Watkins<\/li>\n<li>Donyell Malen<\/li>\n<li>Samuel Iling-Junior<\/li>\n<li>Morgan Rogers<\/li>\n<li>Evann Guessand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Crystal Palace Squad<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Dean Henderson<\/li>\n<li>Remi Matthews<\/li>\n<li>Walter Benitez<\/li>\n<li>Daniel Munoz<\/li>\n<li>Tyrick Mitchell<\/li>\n<li>Maxence Lacroix<\/li>\n<li>Marc Guehi<\/li>\n<li>Nathaniel Clyne<\/li>\n<li>Borna Sosa<\/li>\n<li>Chris Richards<\/li>\n<li>Chadi Riad<\/li>\n<li>Caleb Kporha<\/li>\n<li>Jefferson Lerma<\/li>\n<li>Yeremy Pino<\/li>\n<li>Daichi Kamada<\/li>\n<li>Will Hughes<\/li>\n<li>Adam Wharton<\/li>\n<li>Romain Esse<\/li>\n<li>Cheick Doucoure<\/li>\n<li>Naourious Ahamada<\/li>\n<li>Kaden Rodney<\/li>\n<li>Jesurun Rak-sakyi<\/li>\n<li>Justin Devennt<\/li>\n<li>Rio Cardines<\/li>\n<li>Asher Agbinone<\/li>\n<li>Ismaila Sarr<\/li>\n<li>Eddie Nketiah<\/li>\n<li>Jean-Philippe Mateta<\/li>\n<li>Odsonne Edouard<\/li>\n<li>Franco Umeh-Chibueze<\/li>\n<li>Zach Marsh<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(Both squad details taken from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PL website<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for the Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace confirmed lineups.
