Fulham v Aston Villa – Match POLL

A clash of two new managers with lots to prove. Both Fulham and Aston Villa have looked good at times under their new regimes, however neither have quite the points tally they would desire at this stage of the season.

Both clubs will have an eye on European qualification at the end of the season and will be relieved to see a packed bunch ahead of them in the table, as their points deficit is not yet decisive.

Villa will be without long-term injury concerns Emile Heskey and club captain Stiliyan Petrov, and with Fulham getting key players back from injury, this swing in fortunes may be all-important.

FFC Prediction: 2-1
