"When the team sheets were distributed at Villa Park on Sunday evening, 25 hours and change before the transfer deadline, there were two noteworthy selections. The first was Aston Villa goalkeeper Marco Bizot. The 34-year-old was named in Unai Emery's starting line-up for the second time in three Premier League matches, this time because Emiliano Martinez was deemed too distracted by a possible move to Manchester United."
"Guehi had a comfortable evening and capped it off with a tremendous goal that was hailed as a glorious goodbye. Guehi was all set for Liverpool. With the Premier League champions keen to bring him in and Guehi's contract up next summer, the fact that he remains a Palace player doesn't truly satisfy any party.

Team sheets at Villa Park showed two notable selections: Marco Bizot returned to Aston Villa's starting line-up while Marc Guehi captained Crystal Palace. Bizot started because Emiliano Martinez was reportedly distracted by a possible move to Manchester United. Guehi delivered a comfortable performance and scored a notable goal that was described as a glorious goodbye. Liverpool pursued Guehi but failed to sign him before the deadline, leaving him at Palace despite contract uncertainty. Palace opted to keep their captain amid injuries and the inability to secure a replacement, increasing the likelihood of losing him next summer.
