Fulham host Aston Villa in the third week of the Premier League at Craven Cottage (London) on Monday, September 28 and the match kicks off at 5.45pm (UK).
MATCH PREVIEW
Last season's play-off winners in the Championship, Fulham, suffered a disappointing 0-3 defeat to their London rivals, Arsenal on their home debut back in the Premier League. It was followed by an improved performance, albeit in a 4-3 defeat, against Leeds. The Cottagers have a decent squad, but the worry remains whether they have enough quality to stay up. First two matches exposed all their shortcomings and weaknesses, and if they want to pick up any points when they face Villa, they will have to raise their game significantly.
As for Aston Villa, they missed the trip to Manchester last weekend as their opening game was postponed due to Manchester city's late involvement in the 2019/2020 Champions League. They have thus played only one match so far, against the Blades last Monday (1-0), where they thoroughly deserved their first Premier League win in 20/21.More importantly, they have continued the unbeaten run from the back end of the last campaign (W3,D2) which saw them securing the survival in the last possible moment.
MATCH PREVIEW
On two previous occasions Fulham were in the Premier League - in 2013/2014 and 2018/2019 - they didn't last a season and conceded the most goals in the league both times. They already concede 3.5 goals on average and Scott Parker addressed the issue after the Leeds game by saying they'd been 'too nice' so far and were letting in goals too easy. However, he also mentioned he was pleased his players didn't drop their heads and got back in the game after trailing by three goals. That sort of positivity translated into a comfortable 2-0 win in midweek, against Championship side Sheffield Wednesday in the third round of the Carabao Cup, where they showed their sharpness in front of goal, despite fielding a second-string side. If Parker sorts out the defense where Hector, Ream and Odoi have struggled to adapt, they can get much needed points against Villa, who are expected to be in the relegation battle as well.
As for Villa, the early signs are promising and they may prove the doubters wrong as their manager Dean Smith believes his team are a better side this season. They have managed to keep most of the last year's stand-out players, namely Jack Graelish, forward Keinan Davis, England centre-back Tyrone Mings, while also signing Bertrand Traore from Lyon, who scored on his debut in a 0-3 win against Bristol in the third round of the Carabao Cup. At the start of a new campaign Villa have been more solid and aggressive defensively and their £28m record signing, forward Ollie Watkins has made an immediate impact up front. Villa look like a more settled team this season, and keeping the key players was probably the smartest decision they have made. After three wins in all comps they travel to the capital hoping to continue their unbeaten run.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
