Aston Villa host Fulham in the Premier League in the final match of blockbuster Saturday of Premier League action. Both clubs crashed out of the Carabao Cup in midweek – but who will be taking home the spoils in Saturday night’s main event.

But it’s Aston Villa who look in better nick going into this one on Saturday night.Unai Emery’s side appear to have come through their slow start to the campaign, supercharging their season with a home win against Man City last weekend. Something they’re making a habit of over the last four seasons. They’re now within touching distance of the top five and looking like a well-oiled machine.Keen to “move on” quickly from that minor setback, Emery will welcome this weekend’s fixture with Fulham, as he has won eight of his nine PL encounters against the Cottagers, averaging 2.67 points per game – only Pep Guardiola (three, won 12/12) and Mauricio Pochettino (three, won 6/6) boast a higher points-per-game ratio among managers to oversee five or more matches against Fulham.Pressure was mounting week on week for Fulham boss Alvaro Arbeloa as the west Londoners scrapped to get their first points on the board. But that has since dispersed slightly, with back-to-back 1-0 wins over newly-promoted Hull and Coventry.The Cottagers, who are chasing three consecutive Premier League victories for the first time since December 2025, have only won one of their last seven meetings with Aston Villa (L6). But can Arbeloa mastermind a rare away win at Villa Park?Aston Villa vs Fulham tipsAction JacksonA streaky striker in it’s purest form. Nicolas Jackson has scored four goals in his last four league games, including both in the win over Manchester City. He has also hit the target in each of those four. Plus, his seven shots on target are the most in the Villa squad. Under 3.5 goalsSix of Fulham’s eight league games have featured three goals or fewer, and scored just eight league goals. Their last three finished 1-2, 1-0 and 1-0. Similarly, Villa have scored only nine league goals.Home win heroics Villa are unbeaten in four league games, with three wins, and will be in buoyant mood after beating Manchester City 2-1 last weekend. Fulham have won their last two, but both were 1-0 wins, against Hull and Coventry. They have also lost two of their four away games. We’re backing a home win, 2-1 comes in at 15/2 with Midnite.Quick tipsNicolas Jackson to score anytime – 6/5 with BetfredUnder 3.5 goals – 5/11 with 247betAston Villa to win – 15/2 with MidniteAston Villa vs Fulham predicted lineupsAston Villa (4-2-3-1): Suzuki (GK); Cash, Lindelof, Torres, Maatsen; Kamara, Gomes; Alysson, Manzambi, McGinn; JacksonFulham (4-2-3-1): Leno (GK); Castagne, Affengruber, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Charles; Bobb, King, Iwobi; GarciaAston Villa vs Fulham latest oddsFind the latest Aston Villa vs Fulham betting odds here.
