Aston Villa vs Fulham – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Aston Villa welcome Fulham to Villa Park on Sunday in what has become a crucial fixture to kickstart their Premier League season.

Unai Emery’s side are winless in their opening five games, their worst start in decades, and are desperate for three points to climb out of the relegation zone. Despite their dreadful form, Villa can draw huge confidence from their historical dominance over Fulham. They have won their last five league meetings in a row and their last six at home against the Cottagers. A midweek Europa League win has also lifted spirits, and Emery will be demanding his players carry that momentum into this vital league clash.

Unai Emery faces an anxious wait over the fitness of his number one goalkeeper, Emi Martínez, who is a major doubt for Sunday’s game. The manager’s midfield options are also limited, with Youri Tielemans, Amadou Onana, and Ross Barkley all unavailable.

Consequently, striker Ollie Watkins will be under pressure to end his personal goal drought. He has failed to score in his last seven Premier League appearances, and his shots and expected goals per 90 minutes are at their lowest ever levels in a top-flight season.
