Fulham vs Aston Villa: Team News and Expert Analysis
The London club confirmed its status as a solid mid-table side last season, finishing eleventh with 54 points. At present, they're at least no worse and often feature among the contenders for European competitions—though in the spring they were knocked out of the cup and their slip-ups in the Premier League increased. In April, they lost to Liverpool and settled for a goalless draw with Brentford.
The Birmingham team played in the Champions League last season, advancing to the playoffs. However, they lost fifth place in the Premier League to Newcastle, so now they're playing in the less prestigious Europa League. There, the English side reached the quarterfinals, where they faced no problems against Bologna, winning both legs. Meanwhile, domestically, with nothing to show in the cups, they improved their standing in the Premier League. This included a 4-3 win over Sunderland in the latest round.
The capital's footballers score an average of 1.3 goals while conceding about the same, at 1.49 per match. Emery's side, for their part, score 1.42 goals on average and concede 1.24.
