Draw: 2
Crystal Palace:
Crystal Palace had an average preseason but Patrick Viera prepared his team well especially physically to fight in the Premier League after a difficult end period they had last year. Despite facing 2 of the contenders, Arsenal and Liverpool, Palace showed the team spirit to fight especially in their last game against Liverpool as they grabbed a point playing at Anfield.

Aston Villa:
On the other hand, had good transfer targets that they bought especially Diego Carlos and Kamara. Despite getting behind in their first game against newly promoted Bournemouth, Aston Villa took their home court advantage and grabbed the full points against Everton. Gerrard was sure of his squad until he knew about his recently bought Brazilian Center back, Carlos, who had a severe and serious injury which will keep him out for at least 6 months. Gerrard will have to make adjustments in otder to keep up with the competition.
