Welcome to our LIVE coverage of Fulham’s trip to Villa Park to face Aston Villa.

STAT: Christian Benteke has scored in four successive Premier League games and in eight of his last 10 (nine goals in total).

Another good move from Villa but N'Zogbia's shot is poor. Goal kick.

Benteke misses a great opportunity as he fires wide after Baker flicks the ball on in the area. The Belgian was right in front of goal, but shot wide.

Enoh slices a woeful effort wide for Fulham. Goalscoring not his speciality.

We've not had a chance of note so far, but it's been a decent game. Just more quality needed on the final ball into the box.

Terrific thundering tackle by Baker on Manolev! The Villa fans love it.

It's the 19 minute mark and the Villa fans are giving their customary ovation for Stiliyan Petrov who was diagnosed with acute leukaemia 13 months ago.

Vlaar pumps the ball forward but it's too high for Weimann.

STAT: Fulham have netted just five times in these 11 league games at Villa Park, failing to score in three of their last four trips there.

Great run from Benteke who tries to wriggle his way through the Fulham defence but the flag goes up for offside against Weimann.

Weimann puts a cross into the area that is sliced up in the air by Hangeland, but Mark Schwarzer catches.

Foul by Enoh in the back of Andreas Weimann. Free-kick Villa, but the ball is quickly given away by Bennett.

Ruiz just fails to control and Manolev pass and Ron Vlaar clears. This is a good spell of possession for Fulham though.

Duff just overstretched and the 34-year-old has been replaced by Stanislav Manolev, who is on loan from the Dutch club PSV Eindhoven.

Duff has picked up a bit of a knock for Fulham. It appears to be a groin complain.

The flag goes up for offside against Berbatov.

Dimitar Berbatov tries to dink a pass into Damien Duff, but Nathan Baker clears.

It's a big crowd at Villa Park today. The fans have remained behind Paul Lambert during what has been a difficult time for the club.

Fulham have never won here in the Premier League. Villa enjoying the early pressure here, as Fabian Delph sees a shot well blocked by Brede Hangeland.

Martin Jol will have mixed feelings about his second season in charge at Fulham. The club never looked like getting dragged into the relegation dogfight, but, at the same time, have not challenged for a Europa League spot as some at Craven Cottage may have hoped.

A wayward pass from Bryan Ruiz, and Villa win an early corner.
