This weekend, Aston Villa will play Fulham in a Premier League match at Craven Cottage. They will want to get back to winning ways following their 1-2 loss to Manchester United. They were knocked out of the top four positions with the loss.
With 46 points from 24 games, the Villans are eight points behind the leaders and ranked fifth in the standings. There aren’t many games left in the domestic league, so they better go to work and start producing the goods. They have to win three points against Fulham on Saturday, please.
For Aston Villa, Emi Martinez will start in goal once more. In the previous game, he did not play well enough to have an influence. He will thus be motivated to play and record his sixth league clean sheet of the year.
Matty Cash and Alex Moreno will continue to play left and right back, respectively. They are making a good attacking contribution, but their defense might use some strengthening. Diego Carlos is probably going to stay at center back, although Pau Torres may take Clement Lenglet’s spot.

Because Boubacar Kamara will be out for the remainder of the season due to an injury, Douglas Luiz and John McGinn will be the holding midfielders.
In front of them will be the services of Moussa Diaby, Jacob Ramsey, and Leon Bailey. Diaby will be able to work at the advanced position as a result of McGinn being dropped in the double pivot.
