Aston Villa and Fulham meet in the Premier League tonight, after their most recent games ended in very different moods and directions. The hosts have just been thrashed 0-3 in the League Cup, while the visitors also just lost at home 0-1 in the same competition. Before that, however, Fulham had picked up wins in the league in back-to-back matches with clean sheets. Aston Villa in the league still look like a team you can trust, especially in attack, where they have scored in each of their last five home games and won as many as four of those five. Fulham, meanwhile, despite controlling the ball at 61.7% over their last ten matches, have not created many chances, and a defence that does not concede often in the league has just leaked in the cup. This game is likely to open with the hosts dominating possession, and if Aston Villa score first, Fulham — who set up well defensively but are not used to chasing games — will have to open up and trade blows, which will only create more space for the hosts to add to their lead. The first thing to watch after kick-off is how high Aston Villa press in the first fifteen minutes, because if they start by squeezing Fulham right away, the game will flow in one direction.
