Overview

• A 2:00 p.m. BST kick-off at Villa Park is on Sky Sports in the UK and USA Network/Fubo in the U.S.
• Emiliano Martínez returns in goal as Unai Emery overhauls his XI; Harvey Elliott makes his first Premier League start for Villa, Lamare Bogarde partners John McGinn in midfield, and Ollie Watkins leads the line.
• Villa are without Amadou Onana (hamstring), Youri Tielemans (calf) and Ross Barkley (personal reasons), while Fulham’s summer signing Kevin is sidelined and Antonee Robinson is available again.
• Fulham start Bernd Leno behind a back four of Castagne, Andersen, Bassey and Sessegnon, with Berge and Lukic in midfield and Raúl Jiménez up front supported by Wilson, King and Iwobi.
• Previews highlight Villa’s winless league start with just one goal and forecast a low-scoring contest or draw, though Villa have won five straight Premier League meetings with Fulham at Villa Park.
