Fulham are looking to keep the good times rolling when Aston Villa visit Craven Cottage on Saturday.
Marco Silva’s Cottagers have lost just once since New Year’s Eve and are coming off a 3-1 defeat of Bournemouth to climb into 12th on the Premier League table, a full eight points clear of relegation danger with a number of winnable games coming up soon in the league.
WATCH FULHAM vs ASTON VILLA LIVE
This one suddenly feels like one of those games, as Villa’s stumbled in a big way. It’s become more difficult to take their top-four hopes seriously as they haven’t beaten anyone of consequence in some time.
There’s plenty of time to rebound, however, and Unai Emery will have his team ready for the stretch run as well as next month’s return of the Europa Conference League.
