Fulham will welcome Aston Villa to Craven Cottage in the Premier League on Saturday. The visitors are fourth in the league table with 58 points, the same as third-placed Manchester United. The Cottagers have 45 points and are still in contention to qualify for Europe next season.
The hosts have been in poor touch recently, winning just one of their last six games in all competitions. They failed to score for the second match in a row last week, playing a scoreless draw against Brentford.
Thanks for the submission!
The Villans, meanwhile, have enjoyed a good run of form and are unbeaten in their last six games, recording five wins. They faced Sunderland in their previous outing and secured a 4-3 home win. Ollie Watkins bagged a first-half brace, while Morgan Rogers and Tammy Abraham were on the scoresheet after the break.

Fulham vs Aston Villa Prediction
The Cottagers have won just one of their last six games in all competitions, with that triumph coming at home. Notably, they have scored at least two goals in five of their seven Premier League home games in 2026.
Alex Iwobi picked up a hamstring injury last week and will sit this one out. Kevin and Kenny Tete remain sidelined for the hosts. Raúl Jiménez was on the bench last week and might get the nod to start.
The Villans are winless in their last four Premier League away games, scoring a goal each in three games in that period. They have scored 12 goals in their last five meetings against the hosts and will look to build on that prolific run here.
Alysson and Boubacar Kamara are the two absentees for Unai Emery.
The visitors are on a six-game winning run against the Cottagers and considering the contrast in form between the two teams, we back Villa to secure a win.
Prediction: Fulham 1-2 Aston Villa
