Fulham Preview – Can Fulham move off bottom spot?
Monday night’s hosts, Fulham, currently sit bottom of the Premier League after their first two matches of this new top flight season following back-to-back defeats to Arsenal 3-0 at home and an entertaining but disappointing 4-3 loss on the road at Elland Road against Leeds United.
In between the defeats, Fulham have progressed in the League Cup by securing wins against League One side, Ipswich Town and Championship outfit, Sheffield Wednesday, but this is scant reward when Fulham’s number one priority is to consolidate their Premier League status.
This upcoming fixture against Aston Villa pretty much represents a ‘must not lose’ match for Fulham against a side whom they’ve played most of their recent matches in the Championship, but the hosts know they must get something from this clash and get on the board.
Aston Villa Preview – Can Villa continue good start?
After flirting dangerously with what seemed at one point, almost certain relegation, Aston Villa secured their top flight safety with wins against Crystal Palace and Arsenal towards the end of last season and escaped the drop down to the Championship.
Dean Smith’s men have hit the ground running at the start of this season as well, picking up where they left off at the end of the last campaign by winning their first three matches of the new season on the trot in all competitions which include a 1-0 home win over Sheffield United in the Premier League.
The west midlands club have also progressed through the early rounds of the League cup with wins over Burton Albion and Bristol City, and their momentum heading into this clash at Craven Cottage suggests they should at least earn a point for their troubles here.
