Patrick Vieira has given a fresh injury update on his Crystal Palace team ahead of their Premier League trip to Aston Villa on Sunday.
The Eagles are bidding to finish the season strongly and still have a top-half league finish still firmly set in their sights with three matches left to play. They face an indifferent Villa side who have won two of their previous eight league matches, losing 2-1 to Liverpool at home last time out.
Steven Gerrard was in the dugout at Selhurst Park just two games into his Villa tenure back in November and saw his side come away from south London with all three points after Matt Targett and John McGinn both found the net. The Villains, who announced the permanent signing of Brazilian Philippe Coutinho during the week, are currently one point and one place below Palace in 12th, and will also have their sights set on breaking into the top half with a good result.
