TEAM NEWS
TEAM STATS
With captain Jack Grealish once again ruled out through injury despite Dean Smith's expectations that he would return after the international break. Smith, facing his worst spell, and most worrying spell as Villa boss named a largely unchanged line up with El Ghazi replacing Trézéguet.
Mounting criticism of Smith's 'creative' players El Ghazi, Trézéguet and Traoré together with his insistence on playing John McGinn in a deep midfield position despite his sparkling form as an attacking midfielder at international level, meant a change in tactics and deployment was expected and necessary in order for Smith to deliver a result against bottom three side Fulham.
A bench of only moderate quality, with a significant chunk facing the end of their contracts and/or Villa careers meant options to change a game were once more limited - a situation exacerbated by Smith's tendency to use substitutions as if by rote who had made little or no impact across the previous ten fixtures.
Harsh as it was, Smith was under real pressure to prove the doubters wrong after a fairy tale custodianship of Villa had begun to show signs of souring.
