Fulham vs Aston Villa: How to watch on TV live stream, team news, lineups & predictionAston Villa make the trip to London to take on Fulham on Thursday in search of a much-needed three points. A 2-0 defeat doesn't actually do justice to an improved performance against Chelsea at the weekend, but with Steven Gerrard now under immense pressure, results are becoming much more important than performances. Fulham, meanwhile, have enjoyed a positive return to the Premier League amid plenty of doubts over their credentials. Having said that, their form has plateaued in recent weeks, which needs correcting before they start to undo their hard work.
There was concern that Tyrone Mings had hurt his foot after the Chelsea match, but he’s fit and available to face Fulham. Form (last 6 matches) Fulham – WLWLLD Aston Villa – LDWDDL Fulham vs Aston Villa: Form guide Fulham’s fine start to the season has stuttered a little bit in recent weeks, with two defeats and a draw in their last three matches. The Cottagers were reduced to 10-men and lost star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic during the defeat to Newcastle. Then against West Ham they had to play without their the Serbian international. He returned for the Bournemouth fixture and Fulham picked up a point. With their top goalscorer back and firing in the starting eleven, Marco Silva’s men will see an opportunity to get back to winning ways at home against an under pressure Aston Villa side.
You can catch all the action from Craven Cottage on Prime Video via BT TV. Fulham vs Aston Villa match preview Both these sides are looking to get back to winning ways following draws and defeats in recent matches. Marco Silva will be buoyed by the return on Aleksandar Mitrovic last weekend, who immediately carried on where he left off, slotting home from the penalty spot. With an array of attacking options, Silva will want to get at a Villa team that’s under pressure and sitting just outside the relegation zone. Defensively though Fulham have been vulnerable and Villa have players with attacking potential that can exploit that. Unfortunately for Steven Gerrard, those players haven’t shown their attacking intent enough this season.
I'll accept that. Every time I've spoken to you guys I've fronted up. I won't hide from the responsibility, criticism or the noise coming from the stands today. “But what I will say is that if these players can replicate that first hour today moving forward I don't think this team will have an issue and they certainly won't be in the area they're in now in the league because if we can do that to Chelsea and that level of opponent and reward ourselves with that level of chances, I don't think we'll have any issues. ” Fulham vs Aston Villa: Players to watch Aleksandar Mitrovic returned against Bournemouth at the weekend after missing the West Ham match through injury. He quickly started where he left off, with a goal from the penalty spot to salvage a point at Craven Cottage. The striker is so crucial to Fulham and the way they play.
Leon Bailey proved his fitness and is also expected to be available. Otherwise, there are no surprises expected regarding returns from injury, with Lucas Digne still not quite over an ankle/heel issue, Boubacar Kamara out for the rest of the year, and Diego Carlos still nursing an achilles injury. Aston Villa Starting XI (4-3-3): Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Young; Luiz, McGinn, Coutinho; Bailey, Ings, WatkinsBench: Olsen, Chambers, Bednarek, Sanson, Nakamba, Dendoncker, Ramsey, Buendia, BogardeWhile Villa head into the game with marginally better form and victories in the last two consecutive head-to-head contests, this one looks set to be closely contested.
After a mini-revival of sorts, Villa found themselves on the end of another home defeat at the weekend. Philippe Coutinho started on the bench against Chelsea, but could start against Fulham in order to offer more up front for the visitors. Alongside the likes of Leon Bailey, Danny Ings and Ollie Watkins, Villa have enough to cause the Cottagers problems. They’ll need to find a way of stopping Mitrovic at the other end though.
