THE PREDICTION
18th-placed Fulham come out of the international break and into the home stretch of Premier League fixtures, knowing that it’s wins that they require should they wish to escape the bottom three and avoid dropping back into the Championship at the first time of asking. Currently two points behind Newcastle in 17th-place, Scott Parker’s side travel to Aston Villa, whose season looks to be heading the way of mid table obscurity. Currently 10th in the table, Villa have failed to win their last four Premier League games with influential attacking midfielder Jack Grealish clearly a huge miss for them. The Villa captain has a good chance of being fit for this contest and it would represent a game changer if the England international was to line up against the Whites. Either way, Fulham won’t be frightened of taking the game to the hosts as they look for that illusive three points. However, this may lead to them being hit on the break, with striker Ollie Watkins on a huge high and hunting for his 11th Premier League goal after scoring on his England debut during the international break. Therefore, both teams to score should be seriously considered regardless of which way this match falls.
