Prediction: 2-1
Fulham
Aston Villa will look to recover from the heart-breaking FA Cup loss to Crystal Palace when they take on Fulham in the Premier League round 35. The Villans missed out on a spot in the FA Cup final, meaning that they will be fully focused on the national championship in the remainder of the season. Both John McGinn and Ollie Watkins are pushing for a start, while January signing Marcus Rashford misses out with injury.
The Cottagers, on the other hand, aim to build on a come-from behind win over rock-bottom Southampton. Fulham looked sharp in front of goal at the weekend and given Villa’s attacking potential at Villa Park, there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Former Arsenal man Emile Smith Rowe is pushing for a rare start after scoring as a substitute in the last league match, while both Rodrigo Muniz and Ryan Nelson remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Youri Tielemans):
Youri Tielemans is a product of Anderlecht football academy. The prolific midfielder was born on May 7, 1997 in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw and he is regarded as one of the most talented Belgian players. Tielemans signed his first professional contract with Anderlecht at the age of 16 and in 2013 he made his first-team debut for the club.
The Belgian starlet came as a substitute in a 3-2 loss to Lokeren in the national championship. Youri Tielemans was making progress week by week and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular. The 176-cm-tall footballer scored 26 goals in 139 appearances in the league for Anderlecht and in 2017 he signed a five-year deal with Ligue 1 side Monaco.
Tielemans joined les Rouges et Blancs for a fee of around €25 million. Speaking of his international career, the Monaco midfielder made his senior debut for Belgium in a 1-1 draw with Netherlands (9.9.2016.). He came as a substitute ten minutes before the final whistle, replacing Steven Defour.
Highlighted Team (Fulham):
Fulham are a club from London that play in the Premier League. The capital club dropped to the English second tier at the end of the 2013/2014 Premier League campaign after failing to impress in the elite competition, but managed to return in season 2018/2019.
