How both teams go into Aston Villa vs West Ham
This match will be an immediate rematch following their FA Cup third-round encounter, where Aston Villa came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory. Villa, competing on multiple fronts this season, will play in the Champions League against Monaco just days before this match, which may concern head coach Unai Emery given their recent track record in the Premier League following European fixtures. In their last six instances, they have achieved only one win, two draws, and suffered three losses. Notably, all three defeats occurred in away matches; their one win and two draws were achieved at home.
Graham Potter recently made his Premier League return as West Ham’s new head coach in that Villa loss. This will be his fourth match in charge and his third in the Premier League. He hopes to quickly integrate his new players into his strategy. He takes over a West Ham team sitting in 14th place, seven points above the relegation zone. This position is due to only one victory in their last five league outings, which included back-to-back losses against Liverpool and Manchester City—results that ultimately cost Julen Lopetegui his job.
Aston Villa team news
Pau Torres continues to be unavailable for Aston Villa, and there is currently no timeline for the return of John McGinn and Ross Barkley, the latter having recently suffered a minor calf injury.
West Ham team news
Michail Antonio will not be available for West Ham until the new season. Jarrod Bowen is also a long-term absentee, while there is no return date for Jean-Clair Todibo, Emerson, Niclas Fullkrug, and Crysencio Summerville.
Aston Villa vs West Ham head-to-head
