Aston Villa still have three games left to play and that could change their final position in the table quite dramatically. Therefore Steven Gerrard isn't expected to make wholesale changes at home to Crystal Palace this weekend. Jacob Ramsey has returned to training this week and may replace Marvelous Nakamba in midfield with Douglas Luiz returning to a central position. Ollie Watkins hasn't managed to train since the defeat to Liverpool on Tuesday but Gerrard hasn't ruled the England international out just yet. Should he fail to recover in time to start then Gerrard may have to change formation on Sunday. Emiliano Buendía should be okay despite a minor knock in training in midweek. Gerrard is unlikely to drop Philippe Coutinho so Buendia's best chance of starting is alongside the Brazilian who recently signed permanently for Villa. Crystal Palace have had more than a week to prepare for Sunday's trip to Villa Park so Patrick Vieira will hope to have recovered some of his injured players.
