Fulham v Aston Villa may not be the most glamourous of the fixtures on Wednesday’s Premier League TV schedule but there are plenty of narratives heading into the game at Craven Cottage.
The future of Steven Gerrard is surely the biggest talking point, with reports suggesting that the Villa Park outfit have reached out to Mauricio Pochettino to sound him out as a potential replacement for the former England captain.
That seems a little harsh as Villa were improved against Chelsea on Sunday and unlucky to come away with nothing – with Kepa Arizabalaga due much of the credit for the Blues’ victory.
Marco Silva’s team put an end to their mini-slump in a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday, twice coming from behind to secure a point with the sort of fight and determination that Fulham sides haven’t shown in previous Premier League seasons.
With confidence high at Craven Cottage, the west Londoners will view their next three opponents, Villa, Leeds United, and Everton as teams they can beat and will want to get points on the board given they face the two Manchester teams just before the World Cup break.
While Silva has plenty of credit in the bank after Fulham’s strong start to the season you do wonder whether defeat to the Cottagers could prove fatal for Gerrard.

Our prediction: Fulham v Aston Villa
Ahead of the season, this is the sort of game that Villa will have earmarked as one they should win but Fulham have defied the odds, for the most part, this term and represent a challenging midweek matchup.
Tyrone Mings’ mistake handed Chelsea the lead on the weekend and he faces another difficult evening up against Aleksandar Mitrovic, who took his tally for the season to seven from nine games.
But Fulham’s defence has hardly been watertight of late – conceding 11 goals in their last four games – and Gerrard’s side created plenty of chances against Chelsea so this could be a high-scoring affair.
Our prediction: Fulham 2-2 Aston Villa (14/1 at bet365)
