Aston Villa v Fulham pre match chat - Tuesday, 25th - 7.45pm

[not3bad]

Worried about this. We looked leggy yesterday and Fulham will be a tough match. They must be feeling it as well at this stage of the season though. It's a draw for me.

[Monty]

Worried about every game against good teams - which, in this league, happens about once every two games on average at least.

That said, Fulham really aren't the same side without Mitrovic.

[SamTheMouse]

Think we'll win this by a couple of goals.

[Skerra]

Don’t forget though that when Villa players are expected back in 2 weeks, that usually means it’s a career ending injury!!

[wittonwarrior]

Depends on the keeper - Olsen in goal I am worried, Emi recovers we win simple as that

[algy]

Glad your looking forward  to it boys, we are finally finding a way to play without Mitrovic, I don’t think your two centre halves will be doing much heading in the game, even if Vinícius starts, he a poor replacement for Mitrovic, plus our crosses have been quite shite, we seemed to picked up since the Old Trafford debacle, saying that we’ve only beaten two crap teams in Everton and Leeds, and I’m pretty sure you’re give us a proper test, as somebody who at the start of the season would have happy with 17th on goal difference,  I’m chuffed that we could be west London champions, I’m glad you’ve done so well since getting rid ofGerrard, and getting a real manager,  I’m enjoying the relegation battle, if would be nice if one or two of the so called big clubs were relegated I’m looking at you Everton and Leeds!! enjoy the rest of season and try not to turn up nose at European football, it gave me one of the best seasons in 50 years of going to Fulham, 2009/10 was brilliant

Good to see you about Franky, hope you're well. Guess you're pretty happy with your season so far? Fairly safe, an unlikely-but-feasible good run would put you up along with ourselves, Brighton, Spurs & Liverpool... hopefully stay ahead of your neighbours for the rest of the season too. No real opinion on Brentford, but have a strong dislike of the other lot. And I like Craven Cottage, so...

My confidence will be entirely based on who's in goal. Apparently we score every game now, so Emi in goal and I'm pretty confident. Olsen in goal, I worry we don't have that many goals in us!

[curiousorange]

I'm going for probably the only time this season, so a tense and frustrating 1-1 beckons.

[ldavfc4eva]

I’m going, first time since Watford after the covid re-start.

Will go for the same result, 3-2 Villa

[Flamingo Lane]

I'm not displeased that Fulham have won their last two games, I think a narrow win, 2-1.

I watched them at Everton and it was a different profile to how they've played this season. They had Dan James and Harry Wilson in false 9 roles and Everton couldn't cope.

O.k Everton are terrible and we're not but it's completely different from them starting Vinicius as poor man's Mitrovic and just hitting endless crosses.

Their midfield unit is excellent aswell.

We'll have to scrap this one out I think. Can see this being our first comeback win under UE.

Chambers and Digne arguably did enough to start just to freshen up in a key position although Moreno has been brilliant in the home games recently and we need to be on the front foot in this one from the start.

I'd go with Chambers at RB if Cash ain't back. Game too far for Young I think. Other options are very limited with all the injuries but Emery might be tempted to give Traore a game at home.

[eamonn]

It's a shame they have such unfortunate nicknames - the Whites and the Cottagers.

[OCD]

I would probably start with the same outfield team that finished on Saturday.

[coreyfeldman]

Any updates on cash/kamara from the presser?

There are only the brief quotes on the OS at the moment, will need to wait for the video to be uploaded to get injury info I think.
