Aston Villa welcome West Ham to Villa Park for a Premier League clash tonight as Dean Smith’s side aim to go level on points with the Hammers.
A victory this evening would see ninth Villa equal West Ham’s 35 points, but with two matches in hand over their visitors, who occupy fifth spot in the table as things stand.
Villa snapped a somewhat tepid streak in the league by beating Southampton 1-0 at St Mary’s in their last outing, while West Ham were 3-1 losers against a sharp Liverpool side at the London Stadium.
