Ollie Watkins to Score Anytime<\/strong><\/td>\n13\/8 @ Betfred<\/a>
(38.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nOllie Watkins has hit form just at the right time for Aston Villa and potentially England too. The striker has scored six goals across his last five outings in all competitions, netting a brace in two of those. With this in mind, I’d have him closer to odds of 5\/4 to continue his hot-streak, so take 13\/8 or bigger for Watkins to score against Fulham.  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Calvin Bassey to be carded<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/1 @ Bet365<\/a>
(20.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nCalvin Bassey has seen yellow in each of his last three outings against Aston Villa, and with Unai Emery\u2019s attack arriving in top form, it looks like another tough shift awaits. Don\u2019t be surprised if the 26 year old ends up in the book again. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
