----------------------------
Despite exiting the Champions League, Aston Villa are in a great place, winning three of their last four games across all competitions and 11 of their last 14. That included five straight victories in the Premier League to climb to seventh, just three points behind sixth placed Nottingham Forest and five points behind third placed Newcastle, with the race for Champions League football agonisingly close.
Villa were dealt a blow last weekend when they were dumped out of the FA Cup at the semi-final stage with a 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace but they will look to bounce back and keep the heat on the sides just above them. A win this weekend could draw them level on points with Forest and Chelsea ahead of what looks to be a tough run in for Unai Emery’s side.
As for Fulham, they’ve dropped off recently, losing three of their last five matches across all competitions, including three in the Premier League — their last two ending in defeat against Bournemouth and Chelsea. The only high points in that run was a shock 3-2 win over champions-elect Liverpool and a 2-1 win over already relegated Southampton.
The Cottagers currently sit in eighth position and whilst direct European qualification looks like a long shot they will be hoping things go their way and they can return to continental football once again. Fulham look to have a relatively decent run in, playing teams with nothing to play for but closing the gap on Villa this weekend will be the ultimate goal as they target a place in the Conference League next term.
Aston Villa team news
At the time of writing, Unai Emery is completely free of injury and suspension concerns, although there’s a lot of football to be played by Villa before this match.
Fulham team news
Harry Wilson should be well back in action before this match, although Arsenal loanee Reiss Nelson remains touch-and-go.
Prediction
We feel that in this game, Fulham have the ability to get a goal against this Aston Villa side, but that is unlikely to be enough to avoid defeat. Our selection here is for both teams to score in a 2-1 winning margin for Aston Villa when all is said and done. It should be a decent one.
