"Looking to extend on their sensational run of form, a high-flying Aston Villa will travel to east London on Sunday afternoon when they meet West Ham. Embarking on what has become a remarkable purple patch, Aston Villa find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high and Unai Emery's men will be confident of making another Premier League statement this weekend."
"Collecting a heavyweight domestic scalp last weekend as they snatched a stunning last-gasp 2-1 win at home against leading title contenders Arsenal, Emery's side will be looking to lay down another marker here. Pencilled in as a standout contender this weekend, it should also be highlighted that Villa secured a 2-1 victory when they last travelled to the London Stadium for a Premier League showdown back in August 2024."
Aston Villa have transformed a slow start to the 2025/26 season into a sensational run, winning eight consecutive matches across all competitions and rising to third in the Premier League standings. The side secured Europa League knockout qualification with a 2-1 away win at Basel and claimed a dramatic last-gasp 2-1 home victory over Arsenal. Unai Emery's team previously beat West Ham 2-1 at the London Stadium in August 2024. West Ham occupy the opposite end of the table, embroiled in a relegation scrap and facing a tough examination against the in-form visitors. Betting markets list Villa as favourites for the fixture.
