Aston Villa are flying high in the Championship as they currently sit in the automatic promotion spots.

The Midlands outfit failed in their bid to return to the Premier League last season, but they are on course this time around.

Last weekend's 2-0 victory over arch rivals Birmingham City moved the Villans' up to second in the table.

The club only have a one-point cushion, with Derby County and Cardiff City breathing down their necks.

At the moment, Steve Bruce's side are in fine form as they have won their last seven league games on the bounce.

In that spell, the team have scored 16 goals and have conceded just three, but they face a Fulham side this weekend that are also in stellar form having gone nine league games unbeaten.

As it stands, the Cottagers are fifth in the table, seven points adrift of the automatic promotion spots.

On Twitter, Villa fans have been giving their match predictions.
