OUT: Diego Carlos (achilles) Saturday’s clash with Aston Villa is but a brief reprieve, though, with a trip to champions Manchester City on the docket next weekend, followed by Manchester United and Chelsea as the calendar turns to October. There are still questions over Crystal Palace’s ability to create scoring chances through anyone other than Wilfried Zaha, but the midfield and defense have matured even from Vieira’s first season in charge, despite the departure of Conor Gallagher back to Chelsea. Odsonne Edouard will score a fair few goals by proximity to Zaha and Eze, but he serves the side best as a facilitator dropping in between the lines.

"It's a step backwards on the back of last week," said Gerrard. I think the penalty is really harsh on us.

Zaha stepped up and his penalty was saved by Martínez, but he reacted sharpest to bury the rebound for his third goal of the season. Palace responded and Ayew played the ball into the path of Édouard but he dragged his effort past the post to the frustration of the home supporters. Palace again went close to taking the lead after Zaha set up Jordan Ayew, but his low shot was parried to safety by the Leon Bailey neatly flicked a long ball from Tyrone Mings into the path of Watkins and the forward swept his low strike beyond the Crystal Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita. From the first minute to the last we played with a lot of intensity. Wilfried Zaha remains integral to Crystal Palace’s future and the irrepressible forward struck twice to fire his team to their first win of the season.
