This is a vital match for both clubs but for very different reasons. Fourth-placed Aston Villa are trying to qualify for next season's ECL. Visitors West Ham are 18th in the table and battling for Premier League survival. Read our match prediction below.
Both clubs are also going well in cup competitions this season. Thursday saw Aston Villa make it into the last eight of the Europa League. Now the Villans return to the English Premier League looking to avoid a fourth successive defeat. Results went their way on Saturday with both Liverpool and Chelsea losing. Beating West Ham will take them five points clear of Liverpool in fifth and six ahead of Chelsea.
It may not be the case for the players but West Ham fans will have their minds on another match during this one at Villa Park. The Hammers are in the final relegation place and the two sides directly above them - Spurs and Nottingham Forest - are playing each other at the same time on Sunday. A win for the FA Cup quarter-finalists will take them out of the bottom three, can they do that though?

Aston Villa & West Ham Squad Analysis
Aston Villa seem to have come out of Thursday's Europa League win without any fresh injuries. The hope at Villa Park is that those two wins over Lille will breed some confidence and inspire them to return to winning ways in the Premier League.
They need to start winning again because their final two league games are against Manchester City and Liverpool. They lost out on Champions League qualification on the final day of last season.
The Villans will be without Boubacar Kamara for this game. Youri Tielemans isn't expected to make his return until next month. Better news is that Matt Cash played against Lille and could feature here. Emi Buendia is due to have a fitness test.
Will Summerville play?
West Ham are still in relegation trouble despite some better results of late. Crysencio Summerville is such an important player for them. There are doubts about his fitness but there's a chance he could well be fit for this vital game.
The Hammers will want to build on their three recent away league wins but avoid the kind of nightmare first half they had at Liverpool. The longer they can stay in this game, the better the chance of at least a point being earned.

Our Aston Villa vs West Ham Prediction
A win for either club would be a cause of great celebration. Aston Villa narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification last year and don't want a repeat of that this term. Their league form needs to greatly improve though.
West Ham are in the bottom three but have earned six points more than Villa in the past ten league games. They aren't so easy to beat now and have had some good recent away results. Our main Aston Villa v West Ham prediction is BTTS.
