History of the Aston Villa v Fulham fixture

Aston Villa prepare to entertain Fulham at Villa Park on Sunday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Villans are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 5 of the 21 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Villa Park was just last season, in November 2002, with Aston Villa running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a Premiership match.
