Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Palace look to attack down the right early on, but Digne shepherds the ball back to Martinez, who clears. Villa then win a free-kick on halfway.

Following a minute's silence to remember the victims of the recent earthquake in Morocco, we are under way at Villa Park. Eze with the first touch.

Aston Villa are looking to avoid losing successive Premier League games for just the third time since Emery took charge last year. Will they bounce back from their defeat to Liverpool? The teams are out, and we're about to find out!

Crystal Palace have confirmed Roy Hodgson was "taken unwell" earlier today, so he is not present at Villa Park. Hodgson is in contact with Paddy McCarthy and Ray Lewington, who will take charge in the manager's absence – our best wishes are with him. Palace make two enforced changes with defender Marc Guehi and midfielder Jefferson Lerma out injured, bringing in Richards and Hughes.

Villa's lineup shows just one change from the team that was beaten at Anfield last time out, with Diego Carlos ruled out through injury. Galatasaray loanee Zaniolo comes in for his first start for the club, meaning Cash returns to right-back after playing a more advanced role against Liverpool.

CRYSTAL PALACE SUBS: Dean Henderson, Remi Matthews, Rob Holding, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Nathaniel Clyne, Malcolm Ebiowei, Naouirou Ahamada, Jairo Riedewald, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi.

CRYSTAL PALACE (4-3-3): Sam Johnstone; Joel Ward, Joachim Andersen, Chris Richards, Tyrick Mitchell; Eberechi Eze, Cheick Doucoure, Will Hughes; Jordan Ayew, Odsonne Edouard, Jeffrey Schlupp.

ASTON VILLA SUBS: Robin Olsen, Filip Marschall, Youri Tielemans, Alex Moreno, Calum Chambers, Clement Lenglet, John Duran, Leon Bailey, Leander Dendoncker.

ASTON VILLA (4-2-3-1): Emiliano Martinez; Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Pau Torres, Lucas Digne; Douglas Luiz, Boubacar Kamara; Nicolo Zaniolo, Moussa Diaby, John McGinn; Ollie Watkins.

Crystal Palace are one point clear of Villa, with a 3-2 victory over Wolves taking them to seven points from their first four matches of the Premier League season before the international break. Roy Hodgson's team have yet to lose on the road this term – they could go unbeaten through their first three away games of a league campaign for the first time since doing so as a second-tier side in 2003-04.
