Paul Merson predicts Aston Villa vs. Fulham but questions the January transfer.
Paul Merson forecasted a win for Unai Emery’s team, saying Fulham‘s strategy “will play into Aston Villa’s hands”.
Following a recent loss to Manchester United and a twin injury blow—Boubacar Kamara sustaining a knee ligament damage against the Red Devils and Diego Carlos sustaining a hamstring injury during training this week—Villa travels to Craven Cottage in the Premier League on Saturday. However, Merson continues to support them to get back to winning ways as they compete with Tottenham and United for a top-four position and Champions League qualification.
The point at which Aston Villa began to “wobble” in the Champions League campaign is identified by Gary Neville.

“I think Aston Villa will win this one because they always have a go and it will work in their favor. At the moment, I think Tottenham will edge out Villa in the battle for a top-four berth, but as history has shown us time and time again, sport is subject to sudden changes.
