West Ham vs Aston Villa: Prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, team news, h2h, odds - preview

West Ham head into their final match before the Premier League pauses for an international break sitting in the bottom three.

Aston Villa are in town as David Moyes and his team look to pull away from the relegation zone.

The planned trip to the Etihad to face Manchester City has been postponed, so this is Moyes’ side final chance for a few weeks to move away from the relegation zone.

The Hammers are unbeaten in their three League matches at the London Stadium in 2023, a welcome stat considering they have not won any of their five games on the road since the turn of the year.

Unai Emery’s Villa are clear of the relegation battle below them, and have been in solid form away from home in recent weeks.

Date, kick-off time and venue

West Ham vs Aston Villa is scheduled for a 2pm GMT kick-off on Sunday, March 12, 2023.

The match will take place at the London Stadium.

Where to watch West Ham vs Aston Villa

TV channel and live stream: The match will not be broadcast live in the UK. This is because it was originally scheduled for a 3pm kick-off on Saturday, but was moved due to West Ham’s progress in the Europa Conference League.

West Ham vs Aston Villa prediction

West Ham are still far from convincing, with that midweek win in Cyprus not enough to suggest that a return to form could be imminent for Moyes’ side.

Villa meanwhile will be eyeing a top-half finish under Unai Emery, though they too have been relatively inconsistent. A nervy draw could be on the cards.

Draw, 1-1.
