Aston Villa v Fulham Match Thread

No Gabby is a massive blow, but Charlie has been here before, and played well for us lately. He is creative and commits people, so can be just as effective.

On his day he can Ozzjim, fingers crossed today is his day!!

Hmm, no Gabby worries me.  His pace and aggression pins defenders back and he's been in good form of late. 

At the same time Fulham often defend deep at Villa Park anyway, and their backline doesn't look so pacy, maybe we could benefit from more guile to unlock the defence?

CNZ and Bowery with massive chances to impress today. I fancy one of them to score.

Afternoon all.  Things looking a lot rosier than when I was last on a match thread.  Lovely stuff.

Early opportunity nearly Benteke got to time his run a bit better.

[seanthevillan]

Apparently Guzan has saved more shots than any other keeper this season.

[Rigadon]

Baker is so brave in the air.
