Fulham prepare to entertain Aston Villa at Craven Cottage on Wednesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Cottagers are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 3 of the 21 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was less than a year ago, in February 2004, with Aston Villa inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Cottagers in a Premiership match.
