The Premier League match between Aston Villa and Fulham will take place at Villa Park on Sunday at 7:30 pm IST.
Aston Villa has the chance to equal a 40-year-old club record as they host Fulham at Villa Park in the Premier League on Sunday. Unai Emery’s team could secure a 13th consecutive victory in home league games, a feat not accomplished since 1983.
Unai Emery is keen on securing a victory, especially after Aston Villa’s unexpected loss at Nottingham Forest last week, hindering their chance to break into the top four. Despite the setback, Liverpool and Arsenal are within two points’ reach as Villa approaches the weekend. To secure a top-four spot before the international break, Villa not only needs a win against Fulham but also relies on Brentford or Burnley defeating Liverpool and Arsenal. Villa’s strong home form, with five wins and 20 goals in the Premier League, makes them favorites. While defensive concerns persist with just two clean sheets in their last 13 games, Villa aims to continue their impressive run.
Aston Villa has excelled in attack, while upcoming opponents Fulham have struggled, registering a joint-league high of five goalless performances this season, including a 1-0 loss to Manchester United. Despite the setback, Fulham sits comfortably in 15th place, six points clear of the relegation zone. Marco Silva’s team, though not a primary relegation candidate, faces scoring challenges, with only Burnley scoring fewer goals. Joao Palhinha and Bobby Decordova-Reid lead Fulham with two goals each. Fulham’s recent draw against Brighton at the Amex and a close match against Manchester United provide some optimism, but they need to address their goal-scoring issues for sustained success.
Aston Villa probable starting lineup: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Pau Torres, Digne, McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Kamara, Zaniolo, Diaby, Watkins
Fulham probable starting lineup: Leno, Castagne, Bassey, Ream, Robinson, Iwobi, Joao Palhinha, Andreas Pereira, Wilson, Carlos Vinicius, Willian
