Footymad preview History of the Aston Villa v Fulham fixture

Fulham face a trip to Aston Villa at Villa Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Cottagers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 16 and win only 5 of the 30 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in February 2011, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Premier League match.

Recent respective form guides

Aston Villa's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Villans have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Fulham's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Cottagers have hit 5 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Aston Villa find themselves struggling down in 15th position in the league having picked up 30 points from their 27 matches.

Fulham's 36 points from 27 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 8th position.
