Aston Villa host Fulham at Villa Park on Saturday, October 31 (4:00 PM ET / 3:00 PM CT / 1:00 PM PT).
Aston Villa go into this one missing knee-injury absentee Amadou Onana and thigh-injury casualty Matteo Ruggeri, with thigh problem sufferer Aaron Wan-Bissaka also sidelined and groin-issue doubt Modou Keba Cisse rated uncertain for Saturday. Nicolas Jackson leads the line with 4 goals from 19 shots and 7 on target, while John McGinn (13 chances created, 3 assists) and Johan Kula Manzambi (2 goals, 2 assists) look to supply him. Fulham travel without suspended Ryan Sessegnon, and doubt Emile Smith Rowe may miss out too, leaving Joshua King (2 goals, 21 shots, 11 chances created), Alexander Iwobi (18 chances created) and Oscar Bobb (16 chances created) to drive the visitors forward.
