Fulham vs Aston Villa
Craven Cottage
Monday 28th September
5:45 pm

By the time Stuart Artwell signals kickoff at Craven Cottage for this Monday night fixture.

Fulham could be rock bottom of the log, having lost on this ground to Arsenal and away at Elland Road with the latter being a classic seven-goal thriller.

Aston Villa will have Emiliano Martinez to thank for their clean sheet against Sheffield on Monday.

John Lundstram had his spot-kick saved by the new signing from Arsenal.

Aston Villa can find joy in their resilience having been rebuffed twice by Arsenal with offers below the Gunners’ valuation of the Argentine.

Aston Villa still have a game in hand against Manchester United but the precious win over the Blades means they can believe right from the start.

Dean Smith has added some notable personalities to his team in the fight for survival.

But being able to tie Jack Grealish down to a long term contract would be the best of the lot.

And soon, he can be able to call on Bertrand Traore, his new acquisition from Lyon.

Fulham is certainly a relegation contender, might be too early but Scott Parker has it all to do with the defense that has shipped seven goals already and it’s only game week two.

Aston Villa doesn’t score much, but can the Lilywhites keep them out? 

Betting prediction: Over 7.5 corners
