LONDON (Interstat) — Fulham FC hosts Aston Villa on Saturday, April 25, in a Premier League clash at Craven Cottage, with both sides looking to build momentum as the season enters its final weeks.

Aston Villa enters the match following a dramatic 4-3 victory over Sunderland on April 19. The win stretched Villa’s recent form, though inconsistency has plagued the club. Manager Unai Emery’s side has alternated between strong performances and puzzling losses. A 3-1 victory over Bologna in UEFA Europa League play on April 9 was followed by a 1-0 defeat at Newcastle United on April 11. Villa also managed a 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest on April 12 and a dominant 3-0 win over Everton earlier that same day. The squad has struggled against top competition, losing 3-1 at Manchester United on March 15 and 4-1 at Chelsea on March 4.

Fulham, meanwhile, played to a scoreless draw at Brentford on April 18, failing to generate consistent offense. The result followed a 2-0 loss at Liverpool on April 11. Fulham’s form has been erratic. The Cottagers earned a 3-1 win at Burnley on March 21 but fell 1-0 at home to Nottingham Forest on March 15. A 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on March 1 was followed by a 1-0 home loss to West Ham United on March 4. Fulham has also struggled against elite sides, losing 3-0 at Manchester City on Feb. 11.

The head-to-head history favors Aston Villa, which defeated Fulham 3-1 at Craven Cottage on Sept. 28, 2025.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw.

Both teams face demanding schedules ahead. Villa has a busy slate, including a UEFA Europa League two-legged tie against Nottingham Forest starting April 30, followed by Premier League matches against Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City. Fulham will visit Arsenal on May 2 and host Bournemouth on May 9 before closing the season against Wolverhampton and Newcastle.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time.
