Comments:
League position: 6th Aston Villa had now kept clean sheets in four consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since February 2010. Villa had now had four players sent-off in games in the Premier League played on a Boxing Day; more than any other team in the competition's history (also Andy Townsend in 1994, Michael Oakes in 1998 and Zat Knight in 2007). This was manager Dean Smith’s 100th game in charge of Villa in all competitions (won 43, lost 37).0 Crystal Palace
