Overview
- The Premier League game kicks off at 8pm UK on Saturday 31 October at Villa Park and will be shown in the UK on Sky Sports with streaming via NOW TV.
- Aston Villa travel to the match short of Amadou Onana, Aaron Wan‑Bissaka and Matteo Ruggeri so Unai Emery is expected to select a 4-2-3-1 with Zion Suzuki in goal.
- Nicolas Jackson is the form player to watch after scoring frequently in recent league games and is projected to lead Villa’s attack as a mobile target forward.
- Fulham will be without suspended left-back Ryan Sessegnon and are likely to restore Bernd Leno in goal in a predicted 4-2-3-1 lineup.
- Villa’s 3-0 Carabao Cup loss at Bournemouth ended their cup run and, combined with a Champions League trip to Barcelona next week, could force rotation and careful minutes management.
