Teams Preview
Aston Villa FC Preview
Aston Villa have turned their season around after a difficult start, winning three of their last four Premier League games. Their impressive 2-1 victory over Manchester City last time out continued that revival, with Nicolas Jackson scoring both goals to seal the win. The result also marked Villa's fourth consecutive home Premier League victory over City.
However, defensive concerns remain, with the Villans conceding 1.8 expected goals per game across their last five league outings. They will need to be more solid at the back against a Fulham side capable of exploiting those weaknesses.
Villa have also impressed in Europe, recording victories over Fenerbahçe and Viking in recent games. However, their momentum took a hit in midweek as they suffered a 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth, crashing out of the Carabao Cup in the fourth round. Unai Emery's side will now be eager to put that disappointment behind them and return to winning ways in the league.

Fulham FC Preview
Fulham head into this fixture looking to extend their winning run after securing back-to-back 1-0 victories over Hull City and Coventry City. Remarkably, the Cottagers had gone winless in their opening six league games, making their recent revival all the more encouraging. They have also held Liverpool to a goalless draw at Anfield and shared the spoils with Manchester United.
The biggest improvement has come defensively, with Arbeloa's side keeping three clean sheets in their last five Premier League outings. They will need to maintain that discipline against an Aston Villa side capable of scoring freely.
However, Fulham's attacking output remains modest, with both recent wins decided by a single goal. Their confidence will also have taken a hit after a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup fourth round. They will now aim to put that disappointment behind them and continue their league resurgence at Villa Park.
Fulham have secured just three wins in their last 12 Premier League matches.

ASTON VILLA FC vs FULHAM FC
Winning PredictionAston Villa boast a strong record against Fulham, having avoided defeat in 18 of their last 20 home meetings across all competitions while winning their last five home games. Meanwhile, Fulham's away form in the Premier League offers little reassurance.
However, the Cottagers' recent performances against top sides suggest they should not be underestimated. With both teams enjoying a good run of form, we expect a closely contested encounter and are backing them to share the points.
As far as the odds are concerned, Aston Villa are tipped as favorites according to one of the bookmakers with odds of 1.88, while Fulham sit at 3.65 and a draw is priced at 3.75.
