Unai Emery’s Aston Villa will be facing Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace at the historic Villa Park in the heart of Birmingham during their 2025/26 Premier League campaign. The Villans are seeking a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League, and a victory against the Eagles would see them take a vital step closer to doing so.

This is a crucial game for Villa, and as such there is set to be an incredible atmosphere in B6 for this game which will be enthralling and highly competitive. It will also be a thrilling watch for all those in attendance with both of these sides preferring to play entertaining and exciting football.

Villa boss Unai Emery is currently enjoying his third full season in charge of the club after officially taking charge of the West Midlands Club as Steven Gerrard’s successor at Villa Park back in November 2022. By the end of the 2022/23 Premier League campaign, the Spaniard had led his team from a relegation battle for a team that qualified for the Europa Conference League thanks to a 7th place finish which was achieved with a points total of 61 from their 38 games in total.

The 2023/24 season was even better for Aston Villa under the stewardship of Unai Emery, with the Head Coach leading them to what was a sensational 4th place finish with 68 points to their name after a superb league campaign saw them seal their place in the UEFA Champions League for the first time since they competed in the competition as the reigning European Champions back in 1983.

In the Conference League, the Villans were able to make it to the Semi Finals, where they were to be defeated by the eventual Champions Olympiacos over two legs. It was a very positive season overall, and they knew that they would be playing in European Football’s most prestigious cup competition.

Last season (2024/25), Unai Emery’s Villans were one of the clubs fighting for Champions League football once more, and they were unfortunately unable to do so in the end after losing out on a place in the top five on goal difference alone. They did though qualify for the 2025/26 UEFA Europa League, which is a competition that their Spanish Head Coach has won on numerous occasions with his previous clubs.

As for their Champions League campaign, Villa was able to get the better of the likes of Bayern Munich (1 – 0), Celtic (4 – 2), RB Leipzig (3 – 2), and Bologna 6 – 1 on aggregate in the Round of 16 to set up a high profile Quarter Final clash with the reining French Champions PSG, who did beat the Villans 5 – 4 on aggregate, although Villa did beat the Parisians 3 – 2 in the second leg at Villa Park. Luis Enrique’s side did of course go on to win the 2025 Champions League Final after beating Inter Milan 5 – 0.

Moving on to Crystal Palace, their Austrian Head Coach Oliver Glasner has been in charge of the South London club since he succeeded Roy Hodgson as Eagles boss on 19th February 2024. By the end of the 2023/24 campaign, the Eagles had finished in 10th place with 49 points to their name having been in a relegation battle earlier on in that season.

In the 2024/25 campaign, Glasner led Palace to the club’s first ever major trophy after beating Manchester City 1 – 0 in the 2025 FA Cup Final, which saw them qualify for the UEFA Europa League, just like Villa did. Palace went on to finish 12th in the English top flight last term with a total of 53 points.

Overall, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace have gone head to head in competitive matches in all competitions on 57 occasions in total, and it is Villa who has the superior record of 23 victories compared with the Eagles’ 18 wins so far against their West Midlands counterparts. There have also been 16 draws between them in total.
