Aston Villa are due to take on Fulham at Wembley next weekend.

Dwight Yorke has told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, which was broadcast on TalkSPORT on 18th May, that he believes Aston Villa will beat Fulham in the Championship play off final.

Villa are set to take on Fulham at Wembley next weekend, with a place in the Premier League the prized for the winner.

And Yorke believes that Villa will have enough to get over the line in the contest.

He said: “I think they will, they have the momentum here. This is the perfect opportunity for them to turn the tables around.”

Villa go into the match as underdogs, as Fulham have been the form team in the Championship over the second part of the season.

The Cottagers have an array of attacking talent, and there is a feeling that the pitch at Wembley could help their stylish football.

Villa, though, do have a great deal of experience – which could bring the best out of their players on the big occasion.

The likes of John Terry, Mile Jedinak and Alan Hutton should not feel fazed by playing on such a pressurised occasion, and that could give them an advantage.

Villa got to the final by beating Middlesbrough, while Fulham knocked out Derby County.
