Aston Villa need a win against Fulham as they are within two points of Tottenham and then they have to face Manchester United, Tottenham, Liverpool and Brighton, opponents are too strong, and in these matches the team will lose points. And Fulham are not competing for places in Euro cups, so their motivation will be lower. Moreover, Liverpool has one game less than Aston Villa and can bypass them if they win this game.
I think the win will be more beneficial to Aston Villa because they have the opportunity of going to the Europa League next season considering their position and points on the league right now. Fulham United still has so many teams ahead of them and a win against Aston villa today won't push them to 5th or 6th position rather they will still be in 9th position which they are currently while Aston villa need to win to move to 5th position ahead of Tottenham Hotspur or face the risk of going to Europa league next season because a defeat today will see themove back to 8th position if Liverpool and Brighton secure a win in their next match. The result of this particular match will affect the position of both teams but I think Aston villa stands a better chance of today playing at home in front of their fans.
