Villa prepare for Fulham in the Bodymoor sun

Aston Villa tied up preparations for Saturday's Premier League visit of Fulham at a sun-drenched Bodymoor Heath this week. 

Unai Emery's side return to league matters at Villa Park having bowed out of the FA Cup at the semi-final stage last weekend, taking on the Cottagers as they enter the final four games of the season. 

And the Villans put the finishing touches on their work at their training base in the spring heat, as they go in search of a return to winning ways in B6.
