…SQUAD UPDATE

Raul Jimenez is going to be out for the next few weeks and all the other players are going to be available.

…HOME FORM

The mood is really positive. We had a busy period in December and January. We are stronger now. When you have more of the squad available, it's good for competition. People know what they're going to face when they come to Craven Cottage. The fans play a big part and we hope that, together, we can keep the same form at home.

…ASTON VILLA

We are going to be a really demanding team for them. I really believe that, and of course some of our players are in a really good individual moment too.

…INJURIES

When you are injured for a long time, it is the worst thing in football. We have had two players in Tyrone Mings and Emi Buendia injured for all the season and now it is the same with Kamara. It is an ACL and it will be maybe September or October before he comes back. Also, Diego Carlos has suffered a hamstring injury and will be out for three to four weeks.

…FULHAM

I like Fulham. I respect Marco Silva a lot. He has experience and uses it to be very, very competitive. He’s an intelligent coach. Tactically he’s very good and they are a very organised team.

…LEON BAILEY

We are very happy with him and he is progressively getting better. He is working hard to be consistent, not only when we have the ball and are attacking but also when we need to be defensively strong. His commitment to Aston Villa is perfect. The supporters love him but of course we have to try to be one step ahead and increase our level. With him it is the same.
