Aston Villa vs Fulham: How to watch live, stream link, team news
Surging Aston Villa host Fulham at Villa Park on Tuesday as both teams are unexpectedly chasing European qualification this season.
STREAM LIVE ASTON VILLA v FULHAM
Villa are nine games unbeaten under Unai Emery and although their top four hopes remain unlikely, especially following a 1-1 draw at Brentford at the weekend, they are still in with a shout of finishing in the top six and qualifying for the Europa League. They continue to be tough to break down and have such a clear idea of who they are under Emery.
Fulham have won back-to-back Premier League games and after five games without a win they are back on track, even without the suspended Aleksandar Mitrovic. They beat Leeds 2-1 at the weekend and the scoreline didn’t tell the story of their dominance. Between now and the end of the season Marco Silva’s side have their sights set on setting a new record for most Premier League wins and points in a season. If Fulham win at Villa the Cottagers will be just three points behind them and have a game in-hand.

Key storylines & in-form players to watch
Ollie Watkins has been in superb form and has scored 11 goals in his last 13 games, including two in his last home game which was a 3-0 win against Newcastle. Villa have a robustness about them under Emery which will keep them in games and then it is all about whether Buendia, Watkins, McGinn and Co. can combine in attack. That solid foundation is why they have surged up the table and away from the relegation zone since Emery arrived in November.
Fulham are coping well without Mitrovic (he will next be available at Southampton on May 13 following his eight-game ban) and their fluid attacking unit is finding different ways to get it done. USMNT left back Antonee Robinson was superb against Leeds and had a hand in both goals, while Harry Wilson has scored in back-to-back games and the likes of Dan James, Bobby Decordova-Reid and Willian are all stepping up. The Cottagers are fun watch and can play with plenty of freedom as they aim to seal a top 10 finish.
