Villa need to win to stay clear in fourth place from the chasing pack, though Emery senses no nerves or anxiousness amongst his players.
He said ahead of today's early kickoff: “When you’re achieving good results, you’re feeling comfortable and confident. Each match is a challenge to show how we are, how we can face each match, how we can show our momentum.
“Our momentum we can analyse through our results in the Premier League in the last three games we played, West Ham, Sunderland and Forest. The challenge we can have tomorrow is thinking how we are performing in the Premier League in away matches.
“The last away match we won in Premier League was in Newcastle a long time ago. That shows how difficult it is to achieve the objective we have in each match: three points, one point or no points.
“Tomorrow is going to be very difficult because it’s always difficult away and Fulham have a very good coach, very good players, and they are performing so consistently during the years.”
