The Premier League match between Fulham and Aston Villa will take place at Craven Cottage on Saturday at 8:30 pm IST.
Aston Villa, aiming for a Champions League spot, resume their Premier League campaign by facing Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday. They lost 2-1 to Manchester United in their last match. Fulham, on the other hand, ended a six-game losing streak with a 3-1 win against Bournemouth.
Since Armando Broja joined Fulham in late January, Rodrigo Muniz has been performing well in their frontline. Muniz scored twice in their recent win against Bournemouth, adding to his goal against Burnley. Bobby Decordova-Reid scored first for Fulham, then Muniz scored two more goals, with Marcos Senesi also scoring in between Muniz’s goals. This win was Fulham’s first Premier League victory of 2024 and ended a six-game winless streak. Fulham moved up to 12th place in the Premier League table after this win. They have been particularly successful at home, winning five of their last seven home games. Fulham has won all their home games in the Premier League this season when they’ve scored.
Aston Villa has suffered three consecutive losses at Villa Park despite scoring in each game. They lost 3-1 to Newcastle United and Chelsea before facing Manchester United. Although Douglas Luiz scored to level the game against Manchester United, Scott McTominay’s late goal secured the win for the visitors. This loss kept Villa in fifth place, just behind Tottenham Hotspur in the race for a Champions League spot. However, Villa has been strong defensively away from home, keeping clean sheets in four games in 2024 and winning 5-0 against Sheffield United. They have also been solid defensively at Villa Park this year, not conceding against Middlesbrough, Everton, and Chelsea. Villa has a good record against Fulham, winning four of their last five encounters.
Fulham probable starting lineup: Leno, Castagne, Diop, Ream, Robinson, Cairney, Palhinha, Decordova-Reid, Pereira, Willian, Muniz
Aston Villa probable starting lineup: Martinez, Cash, Torres, Lenglet, Digne, Luiz, McGinn, Diaby, Tielemans, Bailey, Watkins
