Fulham preview: Fading Fulham

Marco Silva may well be coming to the end of an impressive stint in charge of Fulham as the west Londoners succumb to another mid-table finish in what has been an open race for European football.

Their most recent outing, a goalless draw in a derby with Brentford last weekend, means that they have now won just one of their last six matches across all competitions.

Aston Villa preview: Comfortable Villa

Unai Emery and his Aston Villa side have a UEFA Europa League semi-final against Nottingham Forest to look forward to after their recent 7-1 aggregate demolition of Bologna.

The Villans have also more or less wrapped up UEFA Champions League qualification in the league with a dramatic 4-3 defeat of Sunderland, courtesy of a last-gasp Tammy Abraham winner last weekend.

Fulham vs Aston Villa prediction

That win for Villa showed their best and worst, giving up a 3-1 lead late on and allowing an often low-scoring Sunderland side to more or less run riot at one stage. That said, they know how to win games and they know how to fight; something Fulham may be forgetting as they finish the season with a bit of a whimper and siding with an away win is the way to go for this one in the English capital city.
