Fulham v Aston Villa: Verdict Fulham 5/6
This game is expected to be as tight as a woodlouse’s back-passage – not unsimilar to Fulham’s away fixture at Southampton last weekend, but we think otherwise. Berbatov is expected to return and Fulham have had a strong run of form. Aston Villa are desperate for points and would definitely like to put the past week’s headlines behind them – but they having spent the last week wallowing in bad press a good performance from them may be a tall order. If the rumours are true about Bent wanting to leave the club he would be wanting to advertise himself to prospective bidders – with Liverpool being the biggest club he could put his sights on – but we think the pressure will be too much for him on Saturday; we expect him to be off pace, sporting a face like a disappointed child at Christmas and finding himself out of reach of through balls for most of the game. The reported unrest at Aston Villa should give the home team added advantage and we expect Fulham to win, although the bookies think this will be a very close match to call.
