Aston Villa host Fulham in the Premier League looking for their fourth win from five games.

Aston Villa host Fulham on Saturday looking for back-to-back Premier League wins that would move them further away from the relegation battle.

The Villans' form has improved remarkably in recent weeks, with their victory away to Stoke City last weekend their third win from four in the league.

Fulham could do with another win to completely ease any fears of the drop having had their run of five league games without defeat ended by Newcastle United on Sunday.

For Villa, Gabriel Agbonlahor should shake off the knock against Stoke in time to start, while the game will probably come too soon for the return of Ciaran Clark.

Fulham will have to make do without Ashkan Dejagah who has been ruled out for the rest of the season but Eyong Enoh, who had to be subbed off against Newcastle, could play. Steve Sidwell will serve the second game of his three-match suspension.

Recent form

Villa: LLWWLW

Fulham: DWDWWL

Possible starting lineups

Villa: Guzan; Lowton, Vlaar, Baker, Bennett; Bowery, Delph, Westwood, Weimann; Agbonlahor, Benteke

Fulham: Schwarzer; Riether, Hangeland, Senderos, Riise; Duff, Karagounis, Enoh, Emanuelson; Ruiz; Berbatov

Sports Mole says: 2-1
