Fulham are looking for their first Premier League win of the season when they welcome Aston Villa to Craven Cottage on Monday evening.
The Cottagers have struggled upon their return to the top-flight with a 3-0 loss to Arsenal in the first match of the season compounded by a 4-3 defeat at fellow promoted side Leeds United last weekend.
Fulham vs Aston Villa Latest Odds
Fulham have not won a Premier League game since April 2019 and are 9/5 (2.80) with bet365 to get their campaign off the mark with three points here.
Aston Villa have won three of their last five league fixtures after a remarkable end to last season helped them stay up and are 6/4 (2.50) favourites to make it two victories from two this term.

Fulham vs Aston Villa Team News
Scott Parker is likely to keep with the same side that lost at Leeds last weekend, although Bobby Decordova-Reid and Neeskens Kebano will be pushing to start after both coming off the bench at Elland Road.
Dean Smith is also unlikely to make changes to his side after they beat Sheffield United 1-0 in their opening fixture.
Fulham vs Aston Villa Preview
Both teams will be eyeing this game as a potential for three points, with Fulham in particular desperate to pick up their first win of the campaign.
The Cottagers’ thriller at Leeds showed their goalscoring prowess but also – once again – exposed their frailty at the back and made it seven goals conceded in just two games.
It was tough to gauge much from Villa’s 1-0 win over Sheffield United after John Egan was sent off inside 12 minutes for the Blades, but their record of seven goals scored in all competitions this season bodes well for Smith’s side.
