Saturday, January 30th
Fulham look to snap their four match Premiership losing streak when they welcome Martin O'Neill and his Aston Villa squad at the Cottage on Saturday. While a return home does not guarantee a positive result, the home surroundings will assuredly produce a spirited effort and hopefully a good ending to a dismal month in league play.
The visitors have had their own mixed bag of results lately. While goals have been abundant in their Carling and FA Cup ties (10 in 3 matches, all victories, and most importantly a trip to Wembley for a cup final), Villa has failed to find the net in 4 straight Premiership matches and are coming off two consecutive 0-0 draws (West Ham and Arsenal). Aston Villa possess one of the best away records in the Premiership this season. Out of ten matches away from home, Villa have managed to record 4 wins and 3 draws which ranks them 5th in the league. Gabriel Agbonlahor leads the squad with 8 goals and scored in the August 30th meeting between the two teams at Villa Park (a 2-0 victory).
Roy Hodgson will have his hands full in attempting to field a line-up that has failed to produce a prolonged offensive attack. The gaffer at least has received some good news as Diomansy Kamara, Bobby Zamora, and Simon Davies have progressed from their injuries enough to get back on the pitch. The biggest issues of late seem to be the inconsistent play of Captain Danny Murphy and the patchwork backline. While they have played decent in defense, the fullbacks inability to jump into the play on offense has hurt Fulham's goal tally.
As of this preview, there has been no new news on the tranfer front, so the spark that comes from a new signing will not be apparent on Saturday. However, look for the home support and the squad's embarrassment over their anemic performance at Tottenham to lift their play.
Prediction: The Whites will not leave the pitch empty handed 1-1.

Fulham squares off against Accrington Stanley for the first time ever in the 4th round of the FA Cup on Saturday, 23 January. Our illustrious opponents are quite the running soap opera.
Some positive facts about them is they are the only club in all of England to improve their standing in the league each of the last 10 years. That being said, in the last three years in League 2, they have gone from 20th to 17th to 16th. This year, they are 11th, so that streak may well continue. They are a founding member of the football league, but have been plagued with money issues from the get go, and fell out of the league in 1962, finally returning in 2006. Their manager, John Coleman, is the third longest serving manager in the football league, behind only Ferguson and Wenger. Apparently, he is a glutton for punishment.
Accrington Stanley have an ongoing battle with the taxman, and are seemingly forever looking to stay one step ahead of him, with mixed results. Just by making the 4th round, they will have received 100,000 pounds, which may end the transfer embargo the FA imposed on them. Their park, the Fraser Eagle Stadium, is a grass and mud covered swimming pool in the winter.
They were featured in a classic British commercial for milk, where one kid says to the other, if he doesn’t drink it, he will only be good enough to play for Accrington Stanley. Ouch!
