Fulham vs Aston Villa Preview: Premier League Clash at Craven Cottage
Fulham host Aston Villa at Craven Cottage, London, on 25 April 2026 in Premier League Regular Season - 34. Fulham arrive 12th on 45 points with a goal difference of -3, while Aston Villa sit 4th on 58 points and a goal difference of 6, pushing for Champions League qualification.
Fulham Availability
Fulham have several concerns in attack and at full-back.
- Kevin (Foot Injury) is sidelined.
- A. Iwobi (Injury) is doubtful.
- K. Tete (Foot Injury) is doubtful.
Kevin’s absence slightly reduces depth up front, but key creators remain available: H. Wilson, Fulham’s leading scorer with 10 goals and 6 assists, and R. Jiménez, on 9 goals and 3 assists, are both expected to feature and carry much of the attacking burden from wide and central areas.
Aston Villa Availability
Aston Villa also face issues in midfield and attack.
- B. Kamara (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
- T. Abraham (Shoulder Injury) is doubtful.
- Alysson (Injury) is doubtful.
Kamara’s ball-winning presence in midfield will be missed, while doubts over T. Abraham and Alysson slightly thin the forward options behind O. Watkins and M. Rogers.
Impact Summary
Fulham’s main attacking output is intact, with 19 league goals combined from H. Wilson and R. Jiménez. Aston Villa retain significant firepower through O. Watkins (11 goals, 2 assists) and M. Rogers (9 goals, 5 assists), meaning both sides should still pose considerable attacking threat despite these absences.
