Aston Villa v Crystal Palace live stream, Sunday 15 May, 2pm BST
Aston Villa will be looking to bounce back from Tuesday’s loss to Liverpool when they host Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Steven Gerrard’s side suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat by the Reds last time out. Douglas Luiz gave Villa an early lead, but goals from Joel Matip and Sadio Mane kept Liverpool’s title bid on track. Gerrard will have taken plenty of positives away from his team’s performance, though, and Villa know that a victory here could see them climb into the top half of the table with just a week of the season remaining.
Crystal Palace could also end the weekend in the top 10 if they win at Villa Park. Patrick Vieira’s side strolled to a 1-0 triumph over Watford last weekend, having come from behind to beat Southampton seven days earlier. Palace have already matched their points tally from last season and will be looking to end the campaign strongly in a bid to generate momentum for next term.
Villa will have to make do without Kortney Hause and Leon Bailey for the visit of Palace. Jacob Ramsey and Ollie Watkins will need to be assessed after knocks, but both players are hopeful of being named in the matchday squad at least.
Emiliano Buendia will hope to return to the starting XI after beginning the loss to Liverpool among the substitutes, while Carney Chukwuemeka is pushing for his second Premier League start.
Marc Guehi was forced off in the victory over Watford with an ankle problem and is unlikely to be involved here. Joel Ward deputised for the central defender at the weekend and could continue in that position, with Tyrick Mitchell returning at left-back.
Vicente Guaita is on the treatment table, so the former England goalkeeper Jack Butland will continue between the sticks, while Nathan Ferguson will not play again until next season due to various injury issues.
Kick-off is at 2pm BST on Sunday 15 May. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
