Comments:
League position: 4th Since beating Fulham on 2 February 2019, only Manchester City (52) and Liverpool (48) had now taken more points in the Premier League than Crystal Palace (33). Palace had now kept a clean sheet in both of their opening two home games in a league season for the first time since 2008-09 in the League Championship and for the first time in the Premier League. The Eagles had now won two of their last three home games in the Premier League; as many as they won their preceding ten games in the division at Selhurst Park.0 Aston Villa
