It was curtains for Aston Villa Steven Gerrard after his team lost 3-0 at Fulham last season and there has been a huge transformation at the club since with Unai Emery turning them from a relegation-threatened outfit to top-four contenders.
Strong home form has been the bedrock of their development but there is just a feeling they have lost their way a little and that makes them vulnerable on Saturday’s visit to Fulham.
The Villans were stung by a late goal against Manchester United last time out and they have won just one of their last six matches, which was a 5-0 success at bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United.
The fact their only other league win in their last seven was a 3-2 success over another relegation-threatened team, Burnley, suggests they could be fading, especially as they needed a late Douglas Luiz penalty to claim the three points on that occasion.
Consequently, the shot in the arm that Fulham received by beating Bournemouth this week could be timely.
