Aston Villa vs West Ham preview
Having overcome EFL Cup specialists Manchester City despite making wholesale changes, David Moyes’ full strength team will be confident of maintaining their impressive form against a home side lacking in confidence following recent results.
Indeed, the guests have won seven and lost none of their last nine away games in all competitions, taking 10 of their 17 points in the league so far this season from their four matches on the road.
Aston Villa vs West Ham predictions
With West Ham boasting eight clean sheets in 11 matches and having failed to score only twice in 17 fixtures stretching back to last season, they look well worth those 6/4 (2.50) odds to overcome a Villa team they have lost against just once in the last 10 encounters.
