Aston Villa vs Fulham, Sunday 2pm
It’s going to take a special team, capable of negotiating their way through Aston Villa’s insane offside trap, to be able to break this sensational home run Unai Emery’s team are on. Fulham haven’t shown any evidence of late to suggest they are up for the job of ending Villa’s 12-game winning streak.
Marco Silva’s side have scored just nine goals in their last 11 Premier League games while Villa have scored 20 goals across their last four home matches. Such is their pace and power in attack added to their defensive unity, Villa will be popular in the market even at odds of 1/2 with Sky Bet. That rates their chance of victory at 66 per cent which looks a tad generous to my calculations. A way of bumping up the price to a more backable level is to take Villa on the -1 handicap at 13/8 with Sky Bet, meaning we need them to win by more than one goal to cop a full return – a line they have covered in nine of their last 11 victories in all competitions.
SCORE PREDICTION: 3-0
