VillaSunday's English Premier League action sees Aston Villa clash with West Ham and Villa are favourites to extend their 100% record in front of their own supporters.

 

 

 

Villa

 

Villa went into the international break in sixth spot in the standings with a record of 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. They have been foot perfect in all 3 of their EPL home fixtures and the goals have been flowing with Everton (4-0), Palace (3-1) and Brighton (6-1) all leaving this venue empty handed.

 

West Ham

 

West Ham scored a late equalizer to salvage a 2-2 draw at home to Newcastle last time out and they are 2 points shy of Villa in the standings. Away form comprises of a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth, a fine 3-1 victory at Brighton, a 2-1 win at Luton and a 3-1 defeat at Liverpool.

 

Recent Head to Head

 

West Ham won this fixture 1-0 last season whilst the return in London finished in a 1-1 draw.

 

West Ham have not lost a league game at Villa Park since May 2015.

 

 

The Betting

 

At the time of writing Villa are trading at 9/10 to win the game with the draw priced at 28/10 and West Ham can be backed at 29/10

 

A game of 3 goals or more is priced at 6/10 and it's 11/20 for both teams to score

 

The Verdict:

 

Both these sides have kept just the 1 clean sheet in the league this season which would point to goals but the prices for the likes of over 2.5 and both teams to score? (yes) are pretty short.

 

I'm not sure there will be that much between the sides and take the view that a nibble at 1-1 in the correct score market is worth chancing.

 

For an under the radar any time goal scorer play Villa's Douglas Luiz get the nod.
