Aston Villa vs Fulham is available to watch live in the United States. Streaming and TV options are listed above.
Aston Villa host Fulham at Villa Park in the Premier League, with Unai Emery's side looking to build on a run of form that has made them one of the division's most compelling teams this autumn.
Villa arrive into this fixture with serious momentum. Their 2-1 win over Manchester City last weekend underlined the quality Emery has assembled in Birmingham, with Nicolas Jackson scoring twice to hand City their first domestic defeat of the season. A 6-0 Champions League thrashing of Fenerbahce earlier in the month further illustrated the depth and ambition of this squad.
Jackson's form has been particularly eye-catching. The Senegalese forward, who joined from Chelsea in the summer, has scored in consecutive matches and looks a different player under his former Villarreal manager. Pundits have taken notice, with Gary Neville questioning whether he is the most improved player in the Premier League.
Fulham arrive in a more uncertain mood. Alvaro Arbeloa's side lost 1-0 to Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, though they had built decent momentum in the league before that setback, winning back-to-back Premier League matches including a first away victory since February.
The Cottagers sit 15th in the table and need points. A trip to Villa Park against a side in this kind of form represents a stern examination of where Fulham genuinely stand at this stage of the season.
