What channel is Fulham vs Aston Villa? Kick-off time, how to watch and team news

The Premier League fixtures continue to come thick and fast, as Aston Villa head to London for a midweek fixture against Fulham.

Steven Gerrard's side have struggled for form this season but after an improved performance against Chelsea on Sunday despite losing, getting back on the pitch quickly may be the best thing for the players, as they look to turn their season around.

A changed line-up playing both forwards Danny Ings and Ollie Watkins got a positive reaction from fans on social media, most notably ex-Villa man, Gabby Agbonlahor, who praised the manager for playing both strikers and leaving both Philippe Coutinho and Emi Buendia on the bench.

After an improved performance, Gerrard may well stick with the same team as they face off against Fulham, who they should be expecting to beat.

The newly-promoted side have struggled in recent weeks after a very good start to the season.

But with just one win in five, Villa could use tonight as the night to turn their form on its head.

A win for Aston Villa would see them go level on points with tonight's opponents - 12, and would provide a comfortable gap from fellow Midlands sides Wolves, Nottingham Forest and Leicester City.
