Fulham 0 Aston Villa 0 highlights 13/8/11

Aston Villa have offloaded a few of their stars in the close season including Ashley Young to Manchester United and Stewart Downing to Liverpool and the club appear to be in financial straits as they havent as of yet replaced them buys of their own. One addition to the Villa lineup this term will be Manchester City stopper Shay Given who will give some much needed confidence to the defence, which took a hammering in a tough campaign last season. Alex McLeish will also be hoping for a good response from the Villa faithful despite joining from bitter neighbours Birmingam. Fulhams new boss Martin Jol will also be hoping for an improvement on last season's finish and will be hoping the addition of former Liverpool favourite John Arne Riise will bolster the team.
