We get to travel to the “second city” to take on Aston Villa at their place for a Sunday 14:00 kick off

That was a very good performance against Brentford, I think its now become law that Harry has to score against them?
I felt for Josh, everyone makes mistakes, I hope that it wont effect him too much. I was surprised that Kevin didn’t start the game but Iwobi’s contribution, his goal and assist and all-round game shows that Marco know far more about his players than “we” do, well certainly more than I do.
Iwobi had probably his best game in a Fulham shirt both scoring and an wonderful pass to assist Harry’s goal.

The FoF stats man, LudlowRichard, came up with some interesting points from Saturday’s game…

     Harry Wilson's sublime goal last night was our 800th goal in the PL and the less sublime (but equally enjoyable) Brentford OG took us to 801 PL goals in our 689th PL fixture.

     By coincidence, the three points last night took our total PL points to 801.

     OGs for us in the PL now stand at 32, level with Steed.

Villa haven’t had the best start to the season and I’m sure before the season started they’ll have marked this game as an “easy” 3 points, lets hope they’ve got that wrong.

Our record, for the previous 8 games against Villa, is really not very good with 1 win and 7 losses.

My squad to face Villa would be…

We’re off on our travels again, this week we’re off to Villa Park to take on Aston Villa for a 2 o’clock Sunday kick off

Once again we didn’t get what we deserved from the Man Utd game, or perhaps we did? Muniz did reasonably well but we really do need a Premier class striker.
With Muniz going off injured, I really felt for the lad, I’m assuming that he’ll not be available this weekend, I’d start Raul, hopefully spark a bit of Wolves Villa rivalry? I’d also rest Robinson and Pereira.

This is going to be another difficult game, aren’t they all?, as Villa are on a decent run of form, even if they did loose against Forest last game.

Our recent record against Villa is reasonably even with 10 wins, 8 losses and 4 draws.

I’m assuming that Muniz will be unavailable and Diop, Traore, Tosin and Tete will be unavailable, my team would be

We get to visit the second city to take on Aston Villa at their place for an evening kick-off

Two wins on the bounce, and the double, treble with the FA Cup game, over Leeds saw Fulham back to winning ways.
Dan James was unavailable, as Leeds is his parent club, Bobby De Cordova-Reid replaced him to reasonable effect, Bobby is such a versatile player having this season played in defence, midfield and attack!
Willian really has rolled back the years and virtually ran the game from start until he was substituted 4 minutes into injury time. Talking of substitutions it was fantastic to see Neeskens Kebano get a cameo at the end of the game.

Villa are one of the “in form” teams, only Man City are on a better run of results closely followed by Newcastle and are currently sitting in 6th.
They look a completely different team from the one we beat 3-0 earlier in the season, Unai Emery has done an outstanding job since taking over from Stevie Gerrard.
This will be another chance to “do the double” over one of our rivals and a win would set us up nicely for Sundays clash with Man City.

Current Form:
Villa – WWWWD
Fulham – LLLWW

Our recent record against Villa is reasonably good with 10 wins, 7 losses and 4 draws.

With Dan James back available for this game and Mitro still serving his ban, my team would be…
