Aston Villa hosts Crystal Palace at the famous "Villa Park" for the thirty-sixth round of the English Premier League. With just three matches left to play, there is a huge contest in the middle of the table. Both Villa and Palace are aiming to finish the season with the best placement possible, as they are the twelfth-placed and eleventh-placed teams respectively on the ladder right now.

Both sides come into the meeting with a few worrying injuries, as the hosts miss Jacob Ramsey, Emiliano Buendia, Ollie Watkins, Kortney Hause, and Leon Bailey, while the visitors are without Nathan Ferguson, Vicente Guaita, Marc Guehi, and James McArthur. Villa arrives from a 1-2 defeat vs. title-chasing Liverpool, while Palace comes from a minimal 1-0 win over Watford.

The Lions' three-game unbeaten streak came to an end after a recent loss to Liverpool, while the guests still stay strong after two consecutive victories. The first meeting between these two sides this season saw Villa win 2-1 in London, on the Eagles' ground. The team from London suffers away from home, winning only four of its seventeen visits so far. They were on a three-game losing away run before Patrick Vieira's squad took the three points from a suffering Southampton side, and the chances of them finding another victory on a visit are slim.

AVFC is doing decently in the top division of English football under the leadership of Steven Gerrard, who is currently managing this team. After the upcoming clash vs. Crystal Palace, the Villans will have to face Burnley at home and Manchester City away for the last match of the season. The Eagles' schedule is similar to Villa's, as the guests have another away game vs. relegation-worried Everton, and will welcome Manchester United at home to close this campaign.

Both teams have solid chances of winning here, but I will have to choose Aston Villa as my favorite, considering Palace's poor performances while playing on the road. Good luck!

The season is over for Watford, and they will not think too hard ahead of this game. Overcrowded with injuries, Watford is likely to miss all of its strikers for the upcoming duel vs. Leicester. The worst host in the Premier League will welcome Leicester City for its thirty-seventh league match of the campaign. The guests arrive from a 3-0 win over Norwich, while Watford comes from a goalless draw against Everton. Roy Hodgson's team failed to register a single shot on target in their previous match, and have not put more than two shots on target in their previous four games.

Watford is winless at home since a November 2021 game vs. Manchester United, where the hosts surprisingly won 4-1 over one of the best teams in the country. Leicester is looking to break its four-game winless away streak, and finally find a triumph vs. the Hornets at the "Vicarage Road" for the first time since 2016. Coming to this meeting, the Hornets are without - Imran Louza, Ismaila Sarr, Juraj Kucka, Tom Cleverley, Cucho Hernandez, Emmanuel Dennis, Joshua King, Kiko Femenia, Danny Rose, and Nicolas Nkoulou. This gives "the 'Orns" zero offensive strength, and to be honest, they are also far from good at the defense.

The Foxes led by Brendan Rodgers are one of the best sides in England, but are going through a poor season which they want to end in a decent way. Having to play Watford, Chelsea, and Southampton, I expect Leicester to aim for winning in all of those matches. These two teams met twice this season, both times on Leicester's field. The first match resulted in a 4-2 win for the Foxes, followed by a 4-1 triumph in the FA Cup.

The visitors should be a favorite to win this game, but knowing how Leicester has been playing for the last two months, I can also see them sharing points with Watford. However, I cannot see the hosts as the winners in the upcoming meeting. Good luck!

现在只剩下三场比赛了，在比赛的中间有一个巨大的竞争。维拉和水晶宫都希望以最好的位置结束这个赛季，因为他们现在分别是排名第12和第11的球队。

双方都有一些令人担忧的伤病，东道主雅各布·拉姆齐、埃米利亚诺·布恩蒂亚、奥利·沃特金斯、科特尼·豪斯和利昂·贝利缺席了比赛，而客队缺少了内森·弗格森、维森特·瓜伊塔、马克·盖希和詹姆斯·麦克阿瑟。比利亚是在1-2负于追逐冠军的利物浦之后来到这里的，而宫殿是在1-0战胜沃特福德之后来到这里的。

在最近输给利物浦后，狮子队的三场不败被终结，而客队在两连胜后依然强大。这两支球队本赛季的第一次交锋是在伦敦老鹰球场，维拉2-1获胜。这支来自伦敦的球队在客场苦战，到目前为止，在17次客场比赛中只赢了4场。在维埃拉的球队从苦战的南安普顿拿到三分之前，他们已经连续三场输掉了比赛，而他们在客场取得胜利的机会非常渺茫。

在杰拉德的领导下，AVFC在英格兰顶级联赛中表现良好，杰拉德目前是这支球队的主教练。在即将到来的对水晶宫的比赛之后，维兰将在本赛季的最后一场比赛中主场迎战伯恩利，客场迎战曼城。老鹰队的赛程与维拉队相似，因为客人们还有一场客场对阵担心降级的埃弗顿，他们将在主场欢迎曼联来结束这个赛季。

两支球队在这里都有稳固的获胜机会，但考虑到水晶宫在客场的糟糕表现，我将不得不选择阿斯顿维拉作为我的最爱。好运！

沃特福德的赛季已经结束了，他们不会在这场比赛前想太多。由于伤病过度，沃特福德很可能错过所有的前锋参加即将到来的对莱斯特的比赛。英超最差的东道主莱斯特城将迎来本赛季第37场联赛。客队是在3-0战胜诺维奇后抵达的，而沃特福德则是在0 -0战平埃弗顿后抵达的。罗伊·霍奇森的球队在之前的比赛中没有一次射门命中目标，在之前的四场比赛中也没有超过两次射门命中目标。

沃特福德自2021年11月对阵曼联(Manchester United)以来一直没有在主场获胜，当时曼联出人意料地以4比1的比分击败了英国最好的球队之一。莱斯特正试图打破客场四连胜的记录，并最终在“牧师路”找到自2016年以来第一次战胜黄蜂的机会。说到这次会面，黄蜂队没有——伊姆兰·鲁扎、伊斯迈拉·萨尔、尤拉吉·库卡、汤姆·克莱维利、库乔·埃尔南德斯、伊曼纽尔·丹尼斯、约书亚·金、基科·费梅尼亚、丹尼·罗斯和尼古拉斯·恩库鲁。这使得“兽”们的进攻能力为零，而且老实说，他们的防守能力也差得远。

布伦丹·罗杰斯带领的狐狸队是英格兰最好的球队之一，但他们正在经历一个糟糕的赛季，他们希望以一种体面的方式结束。面对沃特福德、切尔西和南安普顿，我希望莱斯特能在所有这些比赛中都取得胜利。这两支球队本赛季相遇两次，都是在莱斯特球场。首场比赛狐狸队以4-2获胜，随后又以4-1赢得足总杯。

看好莱切斯特赢球，竞彩选择负。
