Aston Villa Forest Preview & Form
Aston Villa will be desperate to get back to winning ways to continue their fight for a return to Champions League competitions following back-to-back defeats in all competitions. Their chances of qualifying for Champions League football suffered a major blow at Etihad as they were beaten 2-1 by fellow top-five chasers Manchester City in the last league outing, and they are at risk of losing back-to-back Premier League matches for the second time since the start of the campaign. The defeat at Etihad ended their impressive five-match winning streak. Unai Emery’s men also had a disappointing performance in the FA Cup semi-final when they lost 3-0 to Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium last weekend. Currently, they sit seventh in the Premier League standings with 57 points from 34 games, three points behind the top five with four games to go.
Unai Emery's men are enjoying an impressive home form, having remained undefeated at Villa Park in the league since the start of the campaign, winning nine games and drawing seven. They have scored two or more goals in each of their last four consecutive home games, with each of their last 11 home games producing both teams finding the back of the net.
Watkins up for Premier League Goal of the Month.
Fulham Preview & Form
Last weekend, Marcos Silva's men got back to winning ways following back-to-back league defeats against Chelsea and Bournemouth. The Cottagers head to Villa Park on the back of two wins in their last six Premier League games, but they are still in the race for European qualification hopes. Last weekend, Marcos Silva's men displayed an outstanding performance to keep their hope of securing a European spot alive by coming from a first-half goal behind to beat already relegated Southampton 2-1 at St Mary's Stadium. Currently, they sit eighth in the Premier League standings with 51 points from 34 games. A win here at Villa Park will move them three points behind Villa with four games to go.
Marcos Silva's men have struggled with their recent road games, having won just one of their last four away matches, losing to Bournemouth, Arsenal, and Brighton. Five of their last six away games have produced both teams to score and more than three goals.
Ryan Sessegnon’s superb April has seen him nominated for the Premier League’s EA Sports Player of the Month award.
