Aston Villa

LWLDDL

Aston Villa will be hoping to bounce back here following the 0-2 Premier League loss in their previous game against Tottenham Hotspur.

In that game, Aston Villa had 49% possession and 8 shots at goal with 1 on target. Tottenham Hotspur had 9 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Carlos Vinícius (29') and Harry Kane (68') scored for Tottenham Hotspur.

Under three goals per match were seen in 5 of the past 6 meetings where Aston Villa have been involved. Breaking down the goal split in that period, their opponents scored a total of 6 while The Villans totted up 3. That kind of pattern might not follow through into this next game, of course.

Going into this encounter, Aston Villa are without a win at home for the past 3 league matches.

Fulham

WDLWLL

Since a loss in their previous game against Leeds United in Premier League action, Fulham and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that match, Fulham managed 51% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Fulham was Joachim Andersen (38'). On the other side, Leeds United had 13 shots on goal with 4 on target. Patrick Bamford (29') and Raphinha (58') scored for Leeds United.

The attacking players from Fulham have had real problems scoring goals over their previous 6 games, contributing the disappointing return of only 3. In those fixtures, The Cottagers have also seen the overall goal tally of their opponents equal 6.

Pre-game facts show that Fulham:

• haven't won against Aston Villa in away games against them for the last 2 league games.
• are unbeaten in their last 8 away league matches. Travelling very well.
