**West Ham face a tricky trip to Villa Park tomorrow as the fight to stay in the Premier League continues.**
This is a huge match for Champions League-chasing Aston Villa, with no wins in their last five Premier League games, the Villians are under huge threat of dropping out of the UCL places.
You would think a match against 18th placed West Ham would be a positive for them, but that would be wrong. The Hammers are one of the form teams in the League and have a real chance of winning.
With a home win, Villa can close the gap on third placed Man United to a point. With an away win, the Hammers would be guaranteed to be out of the relegation zone over the international break with Spurs facing Nottingham Forest.
Both sides should be trying to win the match so it could be an interesting one. Their home record has been poor as of late, so the Hammers really should go for this one.
Its going to be a hard match for Nuno and West Ham, they’ve been in poor form, but you can’t deny the quality of that team.
Villa are still certainly the favourites, but you’d be silly to write off West Ham. The Hammers will miss Crysencio Summerville, with him they’d have a better chance, but even without their current talisman, there is a chance.
