Ryan Sessegnon: Mauricio Pochettino shut me out because I was injured
Ryan Sessegnon's strike to seal Fulham's victory over Tottenham Hotspur in March was a goal that had everything. Never mind that it was a sublime finish with his wrong foot late in the game against their London rivals. He had, seconds before, been preparing to come off the bench while being serenaded with passion from the home fans at Craven Cottage as one of their own. It was a goal that showcased the sort of aggression and physicality that some coaches had said Sessegnon lacked. And, rather crucially, it was for the club he joined aged eight against the one where he had spent five very difficult years.

Fulham news: Silva's substitutions fall flat against Aston Villa
The modern game is about more than the 22 men who start on the pitch - it's about all 40 of them in the matchday squad. We have seen plenty of times this season that Marco Silva knows exactly who to bring on - and when - to change games. The joint-record high of 15 goals from substitutes attests to this. But sometimes that magic touch goes missing - and it did on Saturday. Marco took off Ryan Sessegnon before the hour mark against Aston Villa. He was our biggest - and, frankly, only - attacking threat in a game that saw us go behind early, and we never recovered. Silva made the maximum five changes by the 76th minute in a game where we huffed and puffed but provided little else. And that decision backfired as Harrison Reed, himself a substitute, pulled up unchallenged and was forced off injured. That left us with just 10 men for the rest of a game that looked unlikely to yield any points even if we had 11. Bournemouth's win at the Emirates has placed them firmly in the driver's seat for eighth place and a likely spot in the Europa Conference League. Meanwhile, Brentford and Brighton's results mean we have a job to do to even finish in the top half. It's a bitter pill to swallow, but we still have our win and points records to aim for. And then Marco's job switches from micro changes to macro ones, as he looks to fine-tune our first-team squad in the transfer market. Fulham fans will be hoping he rediscovers that magic touch.

Aston Villa vs Fulham Premier League prediction, betting preview, odds and tips
Both sides will see this as a huge six-pointer in the race for Europe with Villa looking to secure back-to-back Champions League spaces while Fulham will be looking for their first appearance in Europe in 14 years Fulham and Aston Villa are both eyeing European football next season, and their clash at Villa Park on Saturday could be pivotal in achieving that goal. Marco Silva is optimistic about Fulham's prospects, stating that the "best is yet to come" as they aim to finish the Premier League campaign strongly. Fulham are currently eighth with 51 points, slightly ahead of Brighton and Bournemouth in the race for a Europa Conference League spot. After suffering consecutive defeats to Bournemouth and Chelsea, Fulham bounced back with a dramatic late win against Southampton. Ryan Sessegnon's stoppage-time goal secured a 2-1 victory over the league's bottom side. This season has also seen Fulham reach the FA Cup quarter-finals, and Silva remains ambitious about pushing the club further. Aston Villa, meanwhile, are still in contention for a Champions League berth, sitting seventh with 57 points, just three points behind fifth-placed Chelsea. Their impressive five-match winning streak in the league was halted by a 2-1 loss to Manchester City. They then faced disappointment with a 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-final. Despite these setbacks, Unai Emery has expressed determination to keep fighting in the final four games of the season. Villa will be looking to regain their form and strengthen their push for European qualification.
