Aston Villa vs Fulham Preview

Tournament: Premier League

Date: September 28, 2025

Kick-off Time: 1:00 PM GMT

Venue: Villa Park

Aston Villa will lock horns with Fulham at the Villa Park over the weekend in their 6th Premier League fixture of the 2025-26 season. Villa have started their season on the back foot and are yet to find their rhythm. With three draws and two defeats in five matches, Unai Emery's side find themselves at the 18th spot. The Lions are placed in the relegation zone and one of the only two sides who are yet to a win game in the English top flight. However, they come into this game on the back of a 1-0 win over Bologna in the Europa League.

Fulham on the other hand are off to a positive start unlike their counterparts. They are motivated to secure a ticket to Europe at the end of the season and have done decently well so far. The Cottagers have accumulated eight points from five Premier League games courtesy of two wins and draws each along with a defeat. They have secured four wins in their last five outings, including three back to back wins in build up to this game.

Aston Villa might not have form on their side, but have a huge psychological advantage over Fulham having emerged victorious in all of their last six encounters. Meanwhile, Fulham will count upon their confidence and momentum to finally bring an end to Villa's winning streak.

Kamara has been consistently putting in good shifts in the middle of the park and is responsible for controlling the way Villa operates.
