Aston Villa are searching for their first win in three games but still remain outside the top four on goal difference alone. And there's good news for Unai Emery who has announced a fully fit squad at his disposal today, including captain John McGinn who has been out for a month with a hamstring problem. Fulham, though have made a bright start to the campaign. The Cottagers are adept at attacking down the flanks, so Villa must ensure they do not get caught out in wide areas.

Unai Emery's side heads to West London off the back of consecutive league stalemates, yet they boast a promising record against Fulham—a trend they’ll be keen to sustain in what is expected to be a challenging encounter. On the other hand, Fulham, currently sitting in eighth, could jump above their visitors with a victory, marking what would be their best top-flight placement in 14 years.

The only two losses endured by the Cottagers thus far have both come in Manchester; they fell 1-0 to Manchester United in the season opener and showed resilience in a close 3-2 contest against Manchester City a fortnight ago. Raul Jimenez shone at the Etihad, setting up Andreas Pereira to open the scoring with what some consider the assist of the season to date.

Fulham team news

Midfielder Emile Smith Rowe was left on the bench for Fulham's recent clash with Manchester City, marking his first omission from the starting lineup since joining the club. Manager Marco Silva opted for a more defensive setup by bringing in midfielder Sander Berge, though Smith Rowe is likely to reclaim his starting role here.

Apart from that tweak, Silva is expected to stick with a largely unchanged starting eleven, including defender Antonee Robinson, who recently completed a busy international stint with the United States, starting in both friendlies and playing as late as early Wednesday morning in Zapopan. Striker Raul Jimenez also featured in that game, marking his first appearance for Mexico in almost a year.

Aston Villa team news

On the visitors' side, midfielders Amadou Onana, John McGinn, Jacob Ramsey, and Boubacar Kamara were all sidelined in the recent match against Manchester United, leaving manager Unai Emery with limited options in the middle.

The situation is further complicated by midfielder Jaden Philogene, who is a doubt after sustaining an injury while on duty with England’s U21 squad. If none of these five midfielders make a return, Ross Barkley will likely continue alongside Youri Tielemans. In defence, Ezri Konsa's recent injury means Diego Carlos is set to step in, while there's good news regarding defender Matty Cash. The Polish international is fit once again, having made his first appearance since August 24 against Manchester United following a hamstring injury.

The hosts went into the international break having suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat away against title chasing Manchester City. That match nevertheless saw the Londoners go toe-to-toe with Pep Guardiola's side, illustrating how much they've improved since last season.

They now come up against a Villa side that are currently on an eight-game unbeaten run in all competitions, with a win today likely to elevate Unai Emery's side into the heady heights of the top four.
