The Villains suffered a major dent in their Champions League prospects when Spurs beat them 4-0 last week. They bounced back to comfortably overcome Ajax on Thursday. However, there are fitness concerns over star striker Ollie Watkins who went off inured in that match. Diego Carlos is definitely out and they will also be without the suspended John McGinn

The Irons came managed a 2-2 draw with Burnley last weekend before whacking Freiburg 5-0 in the week. They too have fitness concerns over a key attacking player, Lucas Paqueta, who had to be withdrawn in the match against the German side.

This will be something of a battle of contrasting styles. While Unai Emery’s team often play slick, attacking football, David Moyes’s men are often criticized for their generally more defensive approach. The Hammers got hammered 4-1 in the reverse fixture at Villa Park and will be out for revenge. 

You’ll want to catch a West Ham vs Aston Villa live stream, and we’ve got all the details you need down below.  Plus, make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action by checking out how to watch Premier League live streams.
