Aston Villa return to league action on Saturday needing a response after a bruising week.

A stoppage time defeat to Manchester City in the Premier League dented their top five push, and they followed that with a heavy 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-final.

How to Watch Aston Villa vs Fulham

Saturday’s match will be shown live on TNT Sports 1, with kick-off at 12:30pm. The game will also be available to stream via discovery+, accessible on mobile, desktop, and smart devices for subscribers.

Villa sit three points outside the top five and cannot afford another setback if they are to keep their Champions League hopes alive. A defeat here could leave them with too much ground to make up in the final weeks.

Unai Emery’s side should feel confident going into this one. They’ve won their last four matches against Fulham and are unbeaten in their last 19 home games in all competitions.

Fulham still have a chance of pushing for a top seven finish after a dramatic late win over Southampton last weekend. That result lifted them to within six points of seventh placed Villa, with four games remaining.

Marco Silva’s team must likely take all three points to stay in the hunt. To do that, they will need to end a poor run at Villa Park, where they haven’t won since 2014.

Recent meetings between these two have seen goals.

Seven of the last eight competitive clashes have produced three or more, and Fulham have seen both teams score in 74 percent of their Premier League games this season.
