Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds
Crystal Palace and Aston Villa are set to kick off the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
It is the first FA Cup meeting between the two sides since 2010, when Villa required a replay to knock the south London club out following a 2-2 draw in the original match at Selhurst Park. John Carew’s brace of penalties made the difference for Villa that day, but the onus will be on Ollie Watkins to send the Villans to a first FA Cup final since 2015, when they were beaten 0-4 by Arsenal.
That result will have primed Palace’s momentum ahead of their date with destiny at Wembley, a first appearance at the stadium since 2022, though their opponents will enjoy an extra 24 hours of recovery, last playing on Tuesday.
