West Ham United have looked formidable of late and they will be keen to kick on in the same vein as they host Aston Villa at the London Stadium on Tuesday night. The Hammers have only lost once in their last seven games and that was a 2-0 loss against Liverpool.
They take on Aston Villa on the back off successive wins against Fulham and Sheffield United. Meanwhile, Dean Smith's men who started the season so well have suffered three defeats in their last four and will want to get back to winning ways as the take a trip to London.
Their last London trip was quite fruitful as they beat Arsenal 3-0 at the Emirates. West Ham are currently eighth on the Premier League table right below their Monday opponents. However, Aston Villa have a game in hand.
Aston Villa are, however, winless in their last five away games and West Ham have lost jus once in their last eight games against Villa. This one has all the makings of a proper Premier League entertainer.
