Aston Villa showed their class last weekend as they fought back from two goals down to secure a deserved draw at Arsenal. Unai Emery’s side were unable to build on that performance as they fell to a 1-0 defeat away at Monaco in the Champions League but their home record has been impressive all season long. They are unbeaten at Villa Park in their last 10 league games and have yet to lose on home soil in Europe’s elite club competition.
After a morale-boosting win over Fulham, West Ham’s confidence took a hit last weekend as they lost 2-0 to Crystal Palace. The Hammers struggled at both ends of the pitch and new manager Graham Potter has limited options in attack with Michail Antonio, Jarrod Bowen and Niclas Fullkrug all sidelined through injury. They will also be without defender Konstantinos Mavropanos after his red card against Palace.
Can Villa complete their first league double over West Ham since 2010-11? Or will the Hammers gain an important three points? Tune in to find out.
