Team News

Aston Villa
Fulham
  • Marcus Rashford is set to miss the rest of the season owing to a hamstring injury, and the on-loan forward may have played his final game for Aston Villa.
  • Otherwise, Unai Emery has no further injury concerns ahead of Saturday's lunchtime kick off.
  • Marco Asensio is set to start in the number 10 role once again, with Emery potentially going with the same XI that started the 3-0 FA Cup semi-final defeat to Crystal Palace.
  • Antonee Robinson missed the 2-1 win at Southampton last week due to a knee problem and will be assessed.
  • Ryan Sessegnon starred at left-back in that victory, and he would continue in the role here if Marco Silva opts against rushing Robinson back.
  • Reiss Nelson and Rodrigo Muniz both miss out, while Sasa Lukic could return to the side with Willian dropping out of the XI.

Prediction

  • Aston Villa have suffered back-to-back setbacks, following up their 2-1 loss at Manchester City with a 3-0 defeat in the FA Cup semi-final. With a three-point gap to fifth, they need to return to winning ways on Saturday to get their Champions League push back on track.
  • Fulham left it late to claim a 2-1 win at relegated Southampton last weekend, a victory that ended a run of three straight away league defeats. The Whites have a poor record at Villa Park, losing their last three trips to Birmingham.
  • Villa haven't lost at home since a 2-1 EFL Cup defeat to Crystal Palace in October, and have won their last six in front of their own fans, a record they should maintain on Saturday.
