Antonee Robinson is focused on achieving something ‘amazing’ with Fulham as they prepare for their Premier League match against Aston Villa.

Antonee Robinson has set his sights firmly on European qualification as Fulham prepare for a crucial Premier League clash against Aston Villa this Saturday, live on TNT Sports and discovery+.

Marco Silva’s side currently occupies eighth place in the league with 51 points, trailing Villa by six points and one position as they approach the final four matches of the season. An eighth-place finish could potentially secure UEFA Conference League football, and Robinson is keen to capitalise on this opportunity.

Speaking to TNT Sports, Robinson stated, “Now the goal is European qualification, especially with Villa coming up, that’s a big chance to close the gap on them. If we do manage to win that game, we’ll be able to go within touching distance of them and keep the teams below us away from us.”

He added, “As it stands, eighth could mean European football, which would be incredible. I think we’re one win off Fulham’s record Premier League points total (53 in the 2008/09 season). A couple of seasons ago, we had a chance to beat it but fell short by a point (52 in the 2022/23 season). So that’s another little goal we can aim to achieve, but I think we’re just going into these last four games with no pressure.”

Robinson emphasised the importance of playing with intensity, stating, “We want to give the fans something they can enjoy watching and enjoy grafting for three points.”

The USA international also reflected on his toughest opponents, naming Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva and Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo for their ability to create challenging situations on the pitch.

“I said earlier on in the season that those types of players are more challenging because there’s only a handful of players who I feel can beat me one-v-one when I’m feeling well,” he explained. “Bernardo Silva can still go at you one-v-one, but he takes up some really uncomfortable positions where he pulls you out and makes space in other directions. Players like him are difficult to play against.”

He continued, “Also, someone like Semenyo, who is really strong, really powerful and incredibly two-footed, can go both ways. When you’re playing against someone like (Mohamed) Salah or (Bukayo) Saka, at least you know they’re really left-footed, so you know if they go on their right, they’re less likely to pull something off. Whereas with Semenyo, he can go either way and make something happen.”

The 27-year-old has been a key figure in Silva’s plans this season, featuring in 33 of Fulham’s 34 Premier League matches, with his only absence coming last Saturday due to injury in the 2-1 victory over Southampton.

When asked if this has been his best season yet, Robinson replied, “Potentially. I think of this season and last season as both up there in terms of standards I’ve set and showing what I’m capable of doing as a player, so it’s definitely up there for me.”
