_“Survival Sunday’_ as it is being dubbed kicks off at 2.15 pm this afternoon as [West Ham](https://www.claretandhugh.info/aston-villa-v-west-ham-preview-team-news-predicted-line-ups/) travel to Aston Villa and Tottenham take on Nottingham Forest in what could be a crucial weekend in the future of the relegation-threatened quartet of Premier League sides.
Three points for any of the trio will be massive – and however hard the mountain appears to climb, West Ham must seek to beat ‘Villa away ahead of the international break to climb out of the bottom three.
It would not accomplish anything complete – but it would be a massive psychological boost for the club and players to sit ahead of ‘Forest, Spurs or Leeds before the final run in.
West Ham United’s starting eleven has just been revealed – remember Crysencio Summerville is injured so Nuno is juggling his resources around limited attacking options – and the Irons’ team is unchanged from the Manchester City draw:
West Ham United
**Hermansen | Wan Bissaka, Disasi, Todibo, Mavropanos, Diouf | Soucek, Fernandes | Pablo Castellanos Bowen |**
