Intro

Aston Villa welcomes West Ham to Villa Park on Sunday afternoon as Unai Emery's side will be hoping to put the pressure back on Newcastle and Bournemouth. The visitors new head coach Graham Potter has tasted victory and defeat since his appointment, as the former Chelsea boss looks to steady the ship.

Aston Villa return home after their disappointing 1-0 defeat in the Champions League against Monaco. However, unbeaten in their last eight matches at Villa Park, including recently beating West Ham in the FA Cup, there's no real surprise to see them as the favourites.

With the current fourth best home record in the Premier League, Unai Emery will be desperate to make sure his team get back into Europe next season. A win could elevate them back into the top six depending on other results this weekend.

West Ham's fortunes needed changing and Graham Potter has brought hope to the fanbase. A 3-2 win against Fulham was the perfect life to his new reign in London but a 2-0 home defeat against Crystal Palace wasn't part of the plan.

That's now four defeats in their last five matches for the Irons, and although they are comfortably 10 points clear of the bottom three, Potter will want his team to be focusing on who is above them in the Premier League rather than looking over their shoulders.

Visitors may well struggle

West Ham have won three of their last five visits to Villa Park but have lost their most recent trips. The first was a 4-1 hammering last campaign, where Douglas Luiz's brace kickstarted the demolition job. Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey both joined the Brazilian on the scoresheet.

And then of course, Aston Villa knocked West Ham out of this year's FA Cup with a 2-1 win at home. Having won four of their last five matches in front of their supporters, while West Ham have only won one (W1 D1 L3), everything points towards a home win. But will it be that simple?

Our Betting Tip for Today

With Aston Villa flying at home, are West Ham capable of springing a surprise? The visitors will be hoping their midweek trip to Monaco will have an impact on their opponents, while Potter has had more time on the training pitch with his new team.

Unai Emery has turned Aston Villa into a top six side - minimum. The work he has done since joining the club has been outstanding, and despite dealing with a hectic schedule due to their Champions League fixtures, he still has his side competing near the top of the Premier League table.

West Ham have been woeful this season. A change was needed and Graham Potter looks to be a good fit. Yet despite winning his opening match, his team have conceded four goals in his opening two matches. It isn't an overnight fix for the new head coach, and Aston Villa can therefore punish their fragile looking defence.

The hosts are a skinny price to pick up the three points, but this is where we can utilise bet365's bet builder option. Despite Villa's dominance at home, they've kept just one clean sheet in their last five.

With that in mind, bet365 are offering 11/5 for Aston Villa to win and both teams to score - a price we'll definitely lock in. Good luck if you're following.
