Fulham are currently in ninth place in the Premier League standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The Cottagers edged Leeds United to a 2-1 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.

Aston Villa, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have improved after a slow start to their season. The home side played out a 1-1 draw against Brentford over the weekend and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.

Aston Villa have been exceptional under Unai Emery and have been particularly lethal in the final third. Ollie Watkins has come into his own under the new regime and will look to add to his goal tally this week.

Fulham have been inconsistent since the turn of the year but have managed to churn out a few good results this month. Aston Villa are the better team at the moment, however, and should be able to win this game.
