Aston Villa welcomes West Ham to Villa Park on Sunday for a Premier League clash, with the hosts fighting to hold onto a top-four spot and the visitors battling to escape relegation.
The Villans sit fourth in the table with 51 points but has lost three straight league matches, falling to Wolves, Chelsea, and Manchester United. Unai Emery’s side has won just two of its last nine Premier League games.
Villa did beat Lille 2-0 at home in the Europa League on Thursday to advance to the quarterfinals, though the concern heading into this fixture is whether the midweek workload will hurt them against a West Ham side with plenty of momentum.

The Hammers are 18th in the table, level on points with 17th-place Nottingham Forest and separated from safety only by goal difference. But they have gone unbeaten in seven of their last nine league games.
West Ham drew 1-1 at home with Manchester City in its last outing and has shown real resilience since the turn of the year. The last five meetings between these teams at Villa Park have produced two wins apiece and the most recent visit ended in a 1-1 draw.
