FW Predictions for West Ham vs Aston Villa
Premier League predictions for Sunday's clash at the London Stadium between West Ham and Aston Villa. The Hammers sit a point above the relegation places as things stand and really need to secure all 3pts in their remaining home games if they want to stay in the Premier League, starting with mid-table Aston Villa.

Draw
Our first West Ham vs Aston Villa prediction regards the end result. West Ham haven't lost any of their last 10 games against Aston Villa and although the visitors sit 11pts and five places above the Hammers in the Premier League table, we're backing a draw between the pair this weekend. West Ham have only managed to win two of their last six matches in all competitions while Aston Villa have dropped points in three of their last five league games, so you can see why with neither of these teams in a great run of form we're going with a draw on Sunday.
Both Teams to Score
Our second West Ham vs Aston Villa prediction concerns both teams finding the back of the net. We're predicting goals at both ends of the pitch this weekend as five of the last six league meetings between these two clubs have ended the very same way. West Ham have only managed to keep two clean sheets in their last six attempts, while both teams have scored in three of Aston Villa's last five outings in the Premier League.

West Ham
West Ham suffered a heavy defeat away at Brighton last weekend, which left some of the Hammers' faithful calling for manager David Moyes to be sacked. West Ham lost the game 4-0 despite only trailing by a solitary goal at the half-time interval but the Londoners bounced back in midweek with a 2-0 win away at AEK Larnaca in the Conference League.
Fabianski, Antonio, Paqueta, Downes and Coufal are all injury concerns heading into this weekend's clash with Aston Villa.
Predicted Lineup – Aréola (GK), Ogbonna, Emerson, Aguerd, Johnson, Souček, Rice, Paquetá, Ings, Benrahma & Bowen
Aston Villa
Aston Villa weren't at their very best last time out at home to Crystal Palace but still managed to come away with all 3pts. An own goal in the 27th minute from Andersen set Villa on their way to a narrow victory but Emery's men will have to put in a better performance away at West Ham this weekend.
Coutinho, Carlos, Dendonker, Kamara and Steer could all miss the trip to the capital this weekend through injury.
Predicted Lineup – Martínez (GK), Moreno, Mings, Konsa, Cash, McGinn, Buendía, Kamara, Luiz, Ramsey & Watkins

Player to Watch: Danny Ings
The West Ham striker recently signed from Aston Villa could play a huge role in keeping the London club in the Premier League, provided he can avoid too many injury layoffs.
There is no doubting Ings has the talent and ability to score plenty of goals in the Premier League but his injury record has been poor ever since he moved to Liverpool. Ings has already suffered a small injury since making the move from Aston Villa in January and Moyes will make sure he doesn't over-exert his key striker in what remains of the 2022/23 campaign.
Strikers often return to haunt their former employers and that is why we have picked out Danny Ings as out player to watch this weekend but let's not forget his former teammate Ollie Watkins who is in a rich vein of form right now and could cause West Ham plenty of problems.
