Aston Villa to win: 7/10
Draw: 7/2
West Ham United to win: 18/5

Recent Form:

Aston Villa: Unai Emery’s side recently suffered a 1-0 defeat to Monaco in the Champions League, following a 2-2 draw against Arsenal in the Premier League. Despite these setbacks, Villa has been strong at home, maintaining a 10-match unbeaten streak at Villa Park in the league.
West Ham United: Under new manager Graham Potter, the Hammers secured a 3-2 victory over Fulham but were subsequently defeated 2-0 by Crystal Palace. They also faced Aston Villa in the FA Cup earlier this month, where they were eliminated after a 2-1 loss.

Team News:

Aston Villa: Midfielder Amadou Onana is sidelined due to a hamstring injury sustained against Arsenal. Captain John McGinn, Pau Torres, and Ross Barkley remain unavailable, with expected returns in February.
West Ham United: The Hammers are dealing with injuries to key forwards, including Jarrod Bowen, Michail Antonio, Niclas Füllkrug, and Crysencio Summerville, with Summerville the closest to a return. Defensively, they face challenges with only one senior center-back, Max Kilman, available, as Jean-Clair Todibo is injured and Konstantinos Mavropanos is suspended.

Key Players:

Aston Villa: Ollie Watkins has been in fine form, scoring 10 Premier League goals this season, including two in his last two league appearances.
West Ham United: Carlos Soler has been influential, notably scoring in the 3-2 win over Fulham. Fans are eager to see him return to the starting lineup after being benched in the previous match.

Prediction:

Given Aston Villa’s strong home form and West Ham’s injury concerns, the home side look set to secure all three points here. Indeed, as far as we’re concerned, a 2-0 win for the hosts seems the most plausible outcome in this clash.
