Aston Villa vs Fulham: Premier League preview
It’s now five Premier League games without a win for Aston Villa, with Wolves the only other side in the division to boast the same record.
More concerning is the Villans’ goalscoring, with Emery’s men having mustered just one goal all season.
Matty Cash got the goal at the Stadium of Light and England international Watkins will be desperate to get off the mark, especially after his penalty miss in midweek.
Emiliano Martinez was unable to feature in the Europa League due to a small muscular issue and that means fellow goalkeeper Marc Bizot could come in.
Fulham’s comeback win against the Bees was a credit to their endeavour and Marco Silva will be bidding to make it three wins a week if they come out on top in the Midlands.
After three straight wins on home soil, the Cottagers are looking to secure a four-game winning run for the first time since January 2023, which could see them climb into the top four.
Summer signing Kevin is facing a period on the sidelines owing to a shoulder problem, but Antonee Robinson is a welcome returnee after featuring against Cambridge in cup action.

Aston Villa vs Fulham: Expected line-upsFourFourTwo’s prediction
Aston Villa 1-0 Fulham
We are backing Villa to follow up their win over Bologna with another success against the Cottagers. Staggeringly, the last time Fulham won at Villa Park was seven years ago when both sides were in the Championship, so form suggests Emery’s side could be heavy favourites.
