BirminghamLive brings you the most recent Aston Villa news, including Paul Merson’s score prediction for the Premier League meeting at Fulham.
Paul Merson feels Fulham’s tactics “will play into Aston Villa’s hands” and predicts a win for Unai Emery’s side.
Villa travel to Craven Cottage in the Premier League on Saturday, coming off a defeat to Manchester United and a double injury blow, with Boubacar Kamara sustaining a knee ligament injury against the Red Devils and Diego Carlos injuring his hamstring in training this week. Merson, however, remains optimistic that they will win again as they compete with United and Tottenham for a top-four berth and Champions League participation.
“Fulham is a funny team. Armando Broja struggled to score goals for Chelsea in the first half of the season, but they suddenly signed him on loan, expecting he’d score a lot for them!” Merson informed Sportskeeda.
“The home team always gives it their all, which will benefit Aston Villa, thus I expect them to win this one. Right now, I believe Tottenham will finish ahead of Villa in the race for a top-four berth, but as we’ve seen many times before, football changes so quickly!”
