Prediction: 2-2
Aston Villa
Craven Cottage will host Saturday’s football game between Fulham and Aston Villa, the two top-table sides. The Cottagers aim to make amends for a 3-2 loss to Man City, but they face yet another tough challenge against the Champions League-chasing Villans. Carlos Vinicius is a major doubt, while Jorge Cuenca remains on the sidelines with injury.
Unai Emery’s men, on the other hand, have a chance to regain their spot in top four. As Villa are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in the Craven Cottage clash, we are tempted to bet on both teams to score. Ezri Konsa has overcome his minor injury, while fellow defender Tyrone Mings will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. Experienced Villa midfielder John McGinn remains on the sidelines with injury. In their last meeting in London Aston Villa defeated Fulham 2-1, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction.

The Villans host their rivals at Villa Park, the stadium that was opened in 1897 and its’ capacity is 42,682. However, it has to be noted that the highest attendance recorded at the stadium was 76,588 when Aston Villa faced Derby County in the FA Cup back in 1946.
Aston Villa’s fiercest rivals are Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion. Nonetheless, the rivalry between Aston Villa and Wolves and Coventry City is big as well. Aston Villa have won seven First Division (Premier League) trophies, with the team clinching seven FA Cup trophies as well.
