It’s the battle of claret and blue at 16:30, with hosts Aston Villa looking to make it 5 games unbeaten in the Premier League and the opportunity to go within a point of the Top 4. As for West Ham, they could leapfrog todays opponents and move up to 5th place, should the Hammers walk away with 3 points at Villa Park.
Both sides come into this game with the same defensive record (12) but it’s Aston Villa who have been more successful in front of goal, scoring 19 compared to West Ham’s 15.
West Ham manager David Moyes has enjoyed coming up against Aston Villa and will be eager to extend his unbeaten run to 15 games.
The last time Aston Villa collected 3 points against West Ham was back in 2015! Since then it has been 7 wins and 6 draws for the Hammers!
I expect to see both sides find the net in this one and history has shown that with 7 of the last 9 clashes has seen both teams score.
