Latest Fulham vs Aston Villa football commentary
Fulham had taken 11 points from five unbeaten games between 24 August and 28 September, but they suffered a 3-2 defeat at champions Manchester City before the international break. The Cottagers took the lead through Andreas Pereira but were left to rue several missed chances, with Rodrigo Muniz's late strike proving a consolation after two goals from Mateo Kovacic and one from Jeremy Doku.
Despite dropping to eighth in the Premier League, Fulham are just three points behind Aston Villa, their next opponents. Manager Marco Silva hopes the defeat to Man City will give his players “courage” and “confidence”. Fulham have a chance to improve their form at Craven Cottage, where they have taken seven of their 11 points this season with wins over Leicester and Newcastle.
Aston Villa are unbeaten in eight games in all competitions, including three wins and two draws in the Premier League. They won 1-0 at Bayern Munich in the Champions League and drew 0-0 with Manchester United in a tense game before the international break. Unai Emery stressed that keeping a clean sheet for the first time since April was a positive.
Coming off a run of three home games against Bologna, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace, Aston Villa travel to Fulham, having lost just one of their last 12 games in London. However, Villa have a mixed record away from home against Fulham, with three wins, two draws and five defeats in their last 10. Although Aston Villa won both games last season, Fulham will be tough to beat at home, so a draw is likely.
