Injuries and Suspensions
Aston Villa host Fulham at Villa Park in a Premier League fixture that arrives at a telling moment for both clubs.
Unai Emery's side have been in excellent form, beating Manchester City 2-1 last weekend with Nicolas Jackson scoring a decisive double. The Senegalese striker has now netted in consecutive league outings and looks sharp after reuniting with Emery, his former manager at Villarreal.
Villa's momentum did take a hit midweek. Bournemouth beat them 3-0 in the Carabao Cup fourth round, ending their involvement in the competition and handing the Cherries a place in the quarter-finals.
Fulham arrive in Birmingham having also exited the League Cup on Tuesday, losing 1-0 to Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage. Alvaro Arbeloa's side had been building confidence after back-to-back Premier League wins, including a first away league victory since February at Coventry City.
The Cottagers have been inconsistent in the top flight this season and sit in the bottom half of the table, making this trip to Villa Park a test of their ability to perform against a side operating at a higher level right now.

Aston Villa have won four of their last five matches across all competitions, with their only defeat the 3-0 Carabao Cup loss to Bournemouth on October 28. Before that, they beat Manchester City 2-1 in the Premier League, defeated Viking 3-1 in the Champions League, won 1-0 away at Newcastle United, and thrashed Fenerbahce 6-0 in Europe. Across those five games, Villa scored 12 goals and conceded four.
Fulham have won two, drawn one, and lost two of their last five matches. Their most recent outing was a 1-0 Carabao Cup defeat to Crystal Palace, which followed a 1-0 Premier League win at Coventry City.

Head-to-Head Record
The most recent meeting between these clubs came in the Premier League on April 25, 2026, when Fulham won 1-0 at Craven Cottage. Across the last five head-to-head fixtures in the Premier League, Aston Villa hold the stronger record with three wins to Fulham's two, scoring eight goals to Fulham's four. Villa's standout result in that run was a 3-1 home win in September 2025.
Standings
In the Premier League table, Aston Villa sit ninth while Fulham are fifteenth. That gap means Emery's side are pushing for a European place while Fulham are looking to pull clear of the relegation battle, giving this fixture added weight for the visitors in particular.
