The match was refereed by Andrew Madley.

Kenny Tete (Knock), Layvin Kurzawa (Knock) and Manor Solomon (Knee Surgery) won’t be able to feature for Fulham manager Marco Silva. Nathaniel Chalobah is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

In our view, The Cottagers will probably line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, utilising Bernd Leno, Bobby Reid, Issa Diop, Tim Ream, Antonee Robinson, Joao Palhinha, Tom Cairney, Willian, Andreas Pereira, Neeskens Kebano and Aleksandar Mitrovic.

Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard has to choose a team with limited availability. Boubacar Kamara (Knee Injury), Lucas Digne (Ankle Injury), Diego Carlos (Achilles tendon rupture) and Jed Steer (Achilles tendon problems) are those who can’t be considered.

We reckon that The Villans seem most likely to utilise a 4-3-2-1 formation by sending out Emiliano Martinez, Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Tyrone Mings, Ashley Young, John McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Jacob Ramsey, Leon Bailey, Ollie Watkins and Danny Ings.

We’re inclined to think that Aston Villa and Fulham could both end up scoring in a what should be a good tussle with little between the two teams.

Little in this one, and it’s almost too close to call. Therefore, we predict a very close game with a 1-1 score draw at the end of the 90 minutes.
