Crysencio Summerville is expected to return to action after missing the Manchester City match with a knock. Nuno Espirito Santo opted for a back three against City, which worked as the Hammers earned a point. However, the West Ham manager may not go for such a conservative approach against Villa this weekend.
Aston Villa team news
Aston Villa have a few injury concerns with Youri Tielemans and Boubacar Kamara both out. It is a quick turnaround for Unai Emery's side, who defeated Lille in the Europa League on Thursday night.

Aston Villa vs. West Ham prediction
West Ham are in good form after beating Fulham and drawing with Manchester City. Villa are winless in their last four league games, but did claim a 2-0 win (3-0 on aggregate) over Lille this week. As Nuno Espirito Santo's side has had all week to prepare for this game, I am going to back the Hammers to win 2-1.
