Aston Villa have suffered three straight losses and will be hoping for some reprieve when they host high flying West Ham United on Sunday. West Ham United are fourth in the league standings with 17 points going to this game while Villa are 13th with 10 points. Villa are coming from a 3-1 loss to Arsenal, their third straight defeat and have managed just one win in the last five matches. In the last three matches, they’ve conceded at least two goals in each and have just one clean sheet to show. They haven’t also been scoring a lot of goals; in the last five they’ve hit more than a goal in just one game, though they’ve scored in each of the five matches. In their last home game, they capitulated in the dying minutes, squandering a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 to Wolves.

West Ham United are on a roll; they are coming from a 0-0 draw with Manchester City which they won on post match penalties in the League Cup. That was their fourth straight clean sheet and unbeaten outing. It was also the only match in their last five that they failed to score in. The Hammers have scored six goals in the last five matches and have conceded just two in that run; their only defeat came courtesy of a stoppage time goal from Brentford. In their last five league matches, West Ham have three wins, the last two have served back to back clean sheets and they’ve scored in all five. They go into this game unbeaten in seven straight away league matches, with five wins in there. Head to head, they have no loss to Aston Villa in the last six meetings, winning three.
