Match Prediction: Aston Villa 2-1 Fulham

Aston Villa's recent form has been disappointing, with draws and losses but no wins. They've struggled to find the back of the net, but at home they might just find their rhythm against a Fulham side that's been solid but not unbeatable. Villa will need to be more clinical in front of goal and tighten up at the back to turn their draws into wins.

Fulham, on the other hand, have shown they can compete in the Premier League again this season, picking up early wins against Brentford and Leeds. Their away form has been less convincing, though, and they'll need to be on their toes at Villa Park. If they can keep their attacking flair and defend well, they could nick a result, but it'll be a tough ask.

Aston Villa's recent form has been patchy, with three draws and two losses in their last five games. They've struggled to score, managing just one goal in those matches. At home, they'll be looking to turn things around, but they'll need to be more ruthless in front of goal and more solid at the back to get the win.

• Draw: 1-1 vs Sunderland (A)

• Draw: 0-0 vs Everton (A)

• Loss: 0-3 vs Crystal Palace (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Brentford (A)

• Draw: 0-0 vs Newcastle United (H)

Fulham have been in decent form, with two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five games. They've shown they can score goals, netting six in those matches. Away from home, though, they've been less convincing, and they'll need to be at their best to get a result at Villa Park.

• Win: 3-1 vs Brentford (H)

• Win: 1-0 vs Leeds United (H)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Chelsea (A)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Manchester United (H)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Brighton & Hove Albion (A)

Aston Villa have had the upper hand in recent meetings with Fulham, winning all of the last five encounters. The most recent clash saw Villa win 1-0 at home back in May, while they also secured a 3-1 away victory earlier in that season. Fulham will be looking to turn the tide, but history suggests it'll be a tough ask.

• Predicted lineup: Martínez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne, McGinn, Kamara, Guessand, Rogers, Buendía, Watkins

With Buendía and Watkins up top, Aston Villa will look to exploit Fulham's defence with quick, incisive attacks. The midfield duo of McGinn and Kamara will need to control the game and provide the service to the forwards.

• Predicted lineup: Leno, Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon, Lukić, Berge, Wilson, King, Iwobi, Muniz

Fulham's attack, led by Muniz and Wilson, will look to cause problems for Villa's defence. The midfield of Berge and Lukić will need to be solid and creative to keep the game in their favour.

• Emiliano Buendía vs Sander Berge: Buendía's creativity will be key to unlocking Fulham's defence.

• Ollie Watkins vs Calvin Bassey: Watkins will need to be sharp to get the better of Bassey.

• Emiliano Martínez (Aston Villa): His shot-stopping ability could be crucial in keeping a clean sheet.

• Harry Wilson (Fulham): Wilson’s goal-scoring form could prove vital if Fulham are to get a result.
