Five facts
1. Aston Villa are unbeaten at home this season, Fulham unbeaten away, and they lock horns at Villa Park with the head-to-head record tied at 21 wins apiece, with 22 draws.
2. Reading haven't won at Rotherham since 2000, but the Millers have lost their last six Sky Bet Championship outings.
3. Ipswich haven't beaten Newcastle since 2001, and haven't come away from St James' Park with maximum points since 1978.
4. Nottingham Forest are the only team in the division not to keep a clean sheet, but have scored in each of their last 10 games.
5. Neither Wolves nor Leeds have found the net in the opening quarter of an hour this term, but have conceded nine goals between them in that period. They meet for the 93rd time this weekend.
