Aston Villa are flying across all competitions and Planet Sport Bet ambassador Robbie Savage expects that to continue on Sunday afternoon when Fulham visit Villa Park (1400 GMT).
The big thing is home advantage. Villa have now won 12 consecutive home Premier League games in a row. A brilliant record at Villa Park, a difficult place to go.
It’s going to be a difficult place to go for Fulham. Losing so late on against Manchester United last weekend. I’m gonna go with a Villa 2-0 win.

Team news
Aston Villa head into the match without the injured quartet of Emiliano Buendia, Kortney Hause, Tyrone Mings and Jacob Ramsey.
Fulham won’t be able to count on Issa Diop who is recovering from a foot injury. There are also doubts over Tosin Adarabioyo, Rodrigo Muniz, Kenny Tete and Adama Traore.
Key stats
- Aston Villa have won three of their last four Premier League games against Fulham
- Fulham have won just one of their last 19 league games away at Villa Park
- Aston Villa have won 12 Premier League home games in a row - their best run since October 1983
Planet Sport’s other bets to consider
Calling Villa Park a fortress would be a gross underestimation. Unai Emery has turned the ground into something resembling the Death Star considering the level of success they’ve enjoyed at home.
Villa have won 12 straight Premier League matches on home turf, marking their best run in 40 years.
This season alone, Emery’s men have won eight of nine games at Villa Park across all competitions, scoring 27 goals in the process.
Fulham, meanwhile, are in the running for the most inconsistent team in the country considering they’re yet to record back-to-back wins or defeats.
To make matters worse, the Cottagers have won just one of their last 19 league visits to Villa Park.
Bearing all that in mind, we’re backing Villa to prevail. A home win to nil is the way to go in this one.
