Aston Villa return to Premier League action on Saturday evening when they welcome Fulham to Villa Park.

Unai Emery’s men are bidding to win their third top-flight game in a row, but they enter this fixture on the back of a 3-0 defeat at Bournemouth in the EFL Cup fourth round on Wednesday.

A rotated team was selected on the South Coast and Emery is expected to revert to a strong side this weekend, though he is still dealing with a few injury absentees.
