Matty Cash is expecting a challenging afternoon at Craven Cottage this weekend, as he and his Aston Villa teammates visit West London on Saturday.
Unai Emery’s side return to Premier League action following the international break, before which Cash made his return from injury in a goalless draw at home to Manchester United.
The 27-year-old praised Fulham for always making their home a difficult place to visit, but insists Villa with travel there with confidence levels in the dressing room high.
He said: “We go to Fulham wanting to win. Fulham is a tough place to go, so respect to them. Every game we go into, we want to win.
“It is almost like we are expected to win these days, which obviously puts a bit more pressure on us, but when you are finishing in the top four, those are the demands you set.
“That starts from the manager with the demands he sets for us. The platform he gives us to go out and perform is amazing.
“We go there full of confidence at the minute. We’ll do everything we can to prepare to win, and go and enjoy it.”
The Poland international described the feeling of being back out on the pitch at Villa Park against the Red Devils earlier this month, making his first appearance since late August.
Having recovered from a hamstring injury, he discussed his physical condition and his determinaton to try and keep confidence levels high in B6.
Cash added: “It is obviously great to be back. Annoying to have pulled my hamstring early on [in the season], but I’m feeling good now.
“I only trained a few days before the Man United game as well, so it was good to play, good to be back out there and fingers crossed I can keep some form now and keep going.
“For me personally, just to be out playing football again is what I enjoy and what I want to do, and with the boys continuing the good form, it’s always good to go back in when everyone is full of confidence.”
