How both teams go into Aston Villa vs Fulham

Despite exiting the Champions League, Aston Villa are in a great place, winning each of their last three games across all competitions and 11 of their last 13. That includes five straight victories in the Premier League to climb to seventh, just a single point off the top five and only two points behind Newcastle in third, with the race for Champions League football agonisingly close. It’s a busy time for Villa, though, with a trip to Man City and an FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace to come before this match.

As for Fulham, they’ve dropped off recently, losing four of their last five matches across all competitions, including three in the Premier League — their last two ending in defeat against Bournemouth and Chelsea. The only high point in that run was a shock 3-2 win over champions-elect Liverpool, but Fulham are now ninth in the Premier League, with eighth their most realistic target.
