Team news

West Ham are still without Jarrod Bowen after the forward was injured against Liverpool last weekend. Declan Rice returned from illness in midweek but Vladimir Coufal and Angelo Ogbonna remain sidelined.

Aston Villa
Aston Villa's only injury concern is midfielder Marvelous Nakamba, who has a knee problem.

Match preview

Aston Villa have won three Premier League matches on the bounce by an aggregate score of 9-0 and they look likely to produce a strong showing when they travel to the London Stadium to take on West Ham.

The Hammers are still in the hunt for a top-four finish, but their Europa League commitments this season may ultimately end up hindering their Champions League ambitions.

David Moyes has a small squad at his disposal and he is likely to ask the majority of the side that were beaten 1-0 by Sevilla in Spain on Thursday to go again just a few days later.

Villa were also in action on Thursday but should be the fresher outfit and, in Philippe Coutinho and Ollie Watkins, they have the attacking flair to trouble a West Ham defence that has allowed 38 shots in their last three games.

At the odds, it could pay to side with Steven Gerrard’s men to pick up their fourth straight league victory.

Key stat

Aston Villa have conceded just two goals in their last five matches
