Our prediction for this Premier League match:
After holding ten-man Liverpool to a 1-1 draw at Anfield on Monday evening, Crystal Palace will look to record their first win of the season when they welcome Aston Villa to their Selhurst Park. Wilfried Zaha opened his goal-scoring account on Matchday 2, and, no doubt, the Ivory Coast international will pose a big threat for the Villans in Saturday’s clash. All Tomkins, Ferguson, and McArthur are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
Steven Gerrard’s troops, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from the day-one loss to Bournemouth, with the team outplaying Everton in front of home fans. Villa, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on draw. As for the visiting side, Both Diego Carlos and Hause miss out with injuries, while Cash and Coutinho should be fit for the match.
Highlighted Player (Jean-Philippe Mateta):
A talented French youngster Jean-Philippe Mateta worked his way up through football’s less glamorous landscapes plying his trade at local amateur sides and third-tier outfits before Ligue 1 giants Lyon took notice of his 11 goals in 22 matches and brought him to the big league.
Having failed to make it into the first team in a debut season with Les Gones, Mateta was shipped out to Le Havre, leading the club to promotion play-offs. Bundesliga side Mainz took notice of his ability and came calling in the summer of 2018 after he bagged 17 goals in 35 league matches. An imposing physical presence at his 192cm, Mateta is a mobile forward and a decent dribbler who can finish with both of his feet.
Having worked his way up from the very bottom, Jean-Philippe Mateta is a committed individual determined to make a name for himself. His impressive goalscoring record got rewarded in the form of France U19 call-up in 2017.
