Fulham were missing the injured Andy Johnson and new signing Damien Duff came into the side to replace him, with Dempsey playing alongside Zamora. Dempsey and Chelsea's Didier Drogba both had opportunities but, in the hot conditions, neither side had many shots in the first half. Drogba, however, gave Chelsea the lead five minutes before the break, shooting low past Schwarzer.

New midfield signing Jonathan Greening made his debut and Aaron Hughes captained the side in the absence of Murphy. Fulham got off to the worst possible start when John Paintsil, under pressure from Villa's Carlos Cuéllar, inadvertently headed the ball past Schwarzer. Villa had a few promising attacks, notably through the pace of striker Gabriel Agbonlahor, but Fulham created chances of their own in an even first half. However they could not score past goalkeeper Brad Friedel and were punished by a second goal, this time from their own player Agbonlahor on the hour mark. Villa held out for a 2–0 victory and Fulham lost their second successive Premier League match.https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8222321.stm Aston Villa 2–0 Fulham BBC Sport BBC 30 August 2009 20 September 2009 DateOpponentsH / AResultF – AScorersAttendance15 August 2009PortsmouthA1–0Zamora 13'17,51023 August 2009ChelseaH0–2(Chelsea: Drogba 39', Anelka 76')25,40430 August 2009Aston VillaA0–2(Aston Villa: Paintsil 3' (o.g.), Agbonlahor 59')32,91713 September 2009EvertonH2–1Konchesky 57', Duff 79' (Everton: Cahill 33')24,19120 September 2009Wolverhampton WanderersA1–2Murphy 66' (pen.)
