It would be easy to say the wheels have come off at Aston Villa, wouldn’t it?
In the past couple of weeks, they have gone out of the Champions League and FA Cup, and losing their last Premier League game has left them playing catch-up in the top-five race.
I don’t think Unai Emery’s side will crumble from here, though, even if Marcus Rashford’s season-ending injury is a big blow.
Villa need to win this, and they also need a big performance from Ollie Watkins. If he starts banging the goals in again then that would be a huge boost for their run-in.
Fulham are a nightmare to predict, as I’ve mentioned in previous weeks, and they are certainly capable of getting something here.
I don’t think Villa can keep a clean sheet – which probably means they will stop Fulham scoring – but I have a feeling things will click for them in front of goal.
Also, they are at home too so, if they need them, their fans can help to get them over the line.
Sutton’s prediction: 3-1
