Aston Villa is doing well this season. It's worth mentioning that the Birmingham team is now a Champions League participant, and they're not just participating – they're doing well. In the first three rounds, they beat Young Boys 3:0, Bayern Munich 1:0 and Bologna 2:0, which puts them in the lead overall. On top of that, the Lions won five games and drew three times in the first nine rounds of the EPL, losing only to Arsenal 0:2. That still puts them in fourth place in the championship. On top of that, the team got off to a flying start in the English League Cup with a 2:1 win against West Ham.

Crystal Palace is the biggest letdown in the current EPL draw. The Eagles finished last season on a high, winning six out of seven games in the final round. That's an excellent result for the average performer of the elite division. It seemed like the team would keep up their good work, but they've only won one in their first nine games. That was last weekend when they beat Tottenham 1:0. They've drawn three more times and lost five, so they're currently sitting in 17th place in the standings. But they've already defeated Norwich and CRC – 4:0 and 2:1 in the English League Cup.

Aston Villa is in great shape. In the last 11 games across all tournaments, Birmingham has not lost a single one, with three draws and eight wins – a great result. Crystal Palace can't boast the same. They've only won once in nine rounds and failed three of their last four games. On top of that, the Londoners have lost four out of the previous five times they've played at Villa Park. 

Aston Villa has been on a winning streak recently, and they've been putting on a show for the fans with some impressive and effective football. In total, Birmingham scored 22 goals in 11 matches (2.00 average per game), which is a fantastic statistic for such a long distance. They also shot 31 goals in total in this stretch; in eight cases, they reached the total over (73%).
