Only 2 games are going to be played in English Premier League on Thursday night. One of them is going to be between Fulham and Aston Villa. The host has 12 points after 10 games and that gives them the 12th position in the standings but Aston Villa is only the 17th-best team with 9 points. There isn't much to cheer for on Fulham's camp but they can be happy about avoiding loss in the previous game as they came back 2 times and drew against Bournemouth.

It's not the best situation in Aston Villa either. Multiple reports suggest manager Steven Gerrard is now very close to being relieved of his duties as Aston Villa's manager. His team finished the weekend just one point above the relegation zone after their 2-0 home defeat to Chelsea and the team has got only 2 wins after 10 opening Premier League games. It’s probably fair to label this game a must-win for the former Liverpool legend, yet he’d have preferred the contest to have been played somewhere else given Villa have lost seven of their last eight Premier League away games played in London.

Probably the biggest issue for Aston Villa is the attack. They have scored only 7 goals so far (tied for 2nd worst) and only 3 of them have been on the road with 8 conceded (out of 13). Fulham has 10 goals scored and 11 conceded in front of their fans. After 5 home games this season, Fulham has 2 wins and 2 draws but Aston Villa is playing very badly outside the home stadium having only 2 points in 5 tries.

The most important player for Fulham is Aleksandar Mitrovic who has scored 7 goals this season. He's been playing very well at home because he has scored nine goals in his last eight league appearances at Craven Cottage. If we look at previous results between both teams, Fulham has won at home in the previous 6 out of 7 games. I'm convinced that Fulham won't lose this game. Fulham has impressed on home soil so far this term and with Mitrovic back fit and firing, I don't see how they can lose the game.

周四晚上，英超联赛将只进行 2 场比赛。其中之一将在富勒姆和阿斯顿维拉之间。东道主在 10 场比赛后得到 12 分，这使他们在积分榜上排名第 12 位，但阿斯顿维拉仅以 9 分排名第 17 位。富勒姆的阵营没有太多值得欢呼的地方，但他们可以很高兴避免在上一场比赛中失利，因为他们两次复出并战平伯恩茅斯。

这也不是阿斯顿维拉最好的状态。多份报道显示，经理史蒂文杰拉德现在非常接近被解除作为阿斯顿维拉的教练。他的球队在主场 0-2 负于切尔西后仅比降级区高出 1 分，而球队在 10 场英超首场比赛后仅取得 2 胜。对于这位前利物浦传奇人物来说，将这场比赛标记为必胜可能是公平的，但鉴于维拉已经输掉了七场比赛，他更希望这场比赛在其他地方进行。他们最近八场英超客场比赛都是在伦敦进行的。

阿斯顿维拉最大的问题可能是进攻。到目前为止，他们只打进了 7 个进球（并列倒数第二），其中只有 3 个在客场丢了 8 个球（13 个）。富勒姆在球迷面前打进了 10 球，丢了 11 球。本赛季经过5个主场比赛，富勒姆2胜2平，但阿斯顿维拉在主场外表现非常糟糕，5次仅得2分。

富勒姆最重要的球员是本赛季打进7球的亚历山大·米特罗维奇。他在主场打得很好，他在过去八次联赛中打进了九球。如果我们看看两支球队之前的结果，富勒姆在之前的 7 场比赛中有 6 场都是在主场获胜。我相信富勒姆不会输掉这场比赛。本赛季到目前为止，富勒姆在主场给人留下了深刻的印象，而米特罗维奇的背部健康，我不认为他们会输掉比赛。
