Fulham face a trip to Aston Villa at Villa Park at tea-time on Saturday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Cottagers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 14 and win only 5 of the 25 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.
