Aston Villa vs West Ham prediction

Emery's side have now won their last 10 matches on home soil in the Premier League, conceding only four goals in that run, and they will be confident of keeping the streak going here.

The Hammers have been much-improved this season, but may struggle to keep that potent Villa attack quiet.

Aston Villa win, 2-1.
