Premier League on Sky Sports: Aston Villa vs Fulham betting preview and tips
Premier League drama returns to Villa Park this Sunday when Fulham visit a struggling Aston Villa side.
Unai Emery’s men were left frustrated last weekend after being held to a 1-1 draw by a resilient 10-man Sunderland as they couldn’t turn a numerical advantage into three points.
With a trio of draws and no wins in the league so far, Emery’s side will be desperate to find their footing against a confident Fulham.
Here, Sports New Blitz outlines all the best bets and key stats ahead of the clash.
The tale so far
Villa’s lacklustre display at the Stadium of Light saw Wilson Isidor cancel out Cash’s brilliant long-range opener, handing Emery a third stalemate in five.
And while it’s too early to panic, Villa’s ongoing struggles in front of goal are becoming a real concern.
Fulham, on the other hand, are riding high after a commanding 3-1 victory over local rivals Brentford.
Despite conceding early to Mikkel Damsgaard, the Cottagers hit back swiftly with goals from Alex Iwobi and Harry Wilson, before an own goal sealed the win.
Fresh off a midweek Carabao Cup triumph over Cambridge United, Marco Silva’s side currently sit eighth in the table, blending youthful energy with effective football.
If Villa want to stop the rot, they’ll need to sharpen up quickly and find a way past this confident Fulham side.

Best bets
Aston Villa to win
Despite recent poor form, Villa have won their last six meetings against Sunday’s visitors.
The creativity of Harvey Elliott and Jadon Sancho, alongside Morgan Rogers, should also give Emery’s side a real spark at home.
Under 2 goals for Fulham
Fulham have scored under two goals in both away games this season as they have largely struggled to replicate their wonderful home form.
Moreover, against Villa, the Cottagers have managed just three goals in their last six.
Morgan Rogers to have 1+ shots on target
Rogers is yet to find his best form for Villa this season, but his performances for England have shown the quality he’s capable of when firing on all cylinders.
Having scored against Fulham last term, he’ll be keen to replicate that impact and make a difference again on Sunday afternoon.
