Aston Villa host Fulham at Villa Park in a Premier League showdown this weekend.

Aston Villa head into a Premier League meeting with Fulham on the back of just one win in six domestic fixtures.

Fulham are on a high after claiming their third-straight victory in the league with a 5-0 thrashing of Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend.

With injured Darren Bent out for the rest of the season, Alex McLeish is expected to start Gabriel Agbonlahor up front with Charles N'Zogbia and Marc Albrighton providing service on the wings.

Meanwhile, Martin Jol is expected to start Pavel Pogrebnyak, who scored a hat-trick at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

The Cottagers may also welcome the return of right-back Stephen Kelly, who could overcome a thigh strain.

Current form:

Aston Villa: LDLLDD
Fulham: LDLWWW

Possible lineups:

Aston Villa: Given; Warnock, Hutton, Collins, Cuellar; N'Zogbia, Ireland, Petrov, Albrighton; Gardner, Agbonlahor

Fulham: Schwarzer; JA Riise, Hangeland, Senderos, Kelly; Duff, Murphy, Dempsey; Pogrebnyak, Johnson, Dembele

Sports Mole says: 2-1
