West Ham United travel to Aston Villa looking to continue their dominant form of late and maintain their place in the hunt for a Champions League place with a top four finish in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Villa badly need a result here, having suffered three defeats on the bounce, including a one-sided beating by Arsenal last week.
David Moyes has instilled real belief in his group that they belong at the highest level, with silverware on the agenda following a penalty shoot-out win over Carabao Cup holders Manchester City to advance to the quarter-finals.
It’s four wins on the spin for the Hammers, who won this fixture last term thanks to a Jesse Lingard double.
