For Aston Villa, their Europa League successes have served as a balm when things aren't going well domestically. That's what happened again for the Villans: they overcame Lille 3-0 on aggregate, advancing to the quarterfinals of the European competition. Meanwhile, they are struggling in the Premier League. Not long ago, they were competing with Arsenal and City for the title. Now, they risk not even securing a top-four finish in the Premier League.
Emery has won the Europa League four times with Spanish teams in the past. His goal is to do it again with Aston Villa, but he must focus this weekend, when they host West Ham, to avoid losing four consecutive league matches for the first time in his managerial career.
Aston Villa hasn't defeated West Ham twice in the same league season since 2010-11, but they now have the opportunity to do so after the Lions, led by a brace from Rogers, overcame the Hammers in London on matchday 16.
West Ham need the points for very different reasons; with a squad valued at €362 million, they will be looking to avoid an embarrassing relegation. They have recently put pressure on Nottingham Forest and Tottenham, especially after securing a valuable draw against Manchester City in Matchday 30.

Our Aston Villa vs West Ham Prediction
Aston Villa finally scored more than one goal after failing to score in nine consecutive matches. Even so, this highlights the team's declining scoring ability, which may be due to Kamara and Tielemans being injured, weakening the midfield and limiting the number of passes; that's why the ball isn't reaching the forwards.
On the West Ham side, Greek center-back Mavropanos defended the Hammers' goal with his life in the recent draw against City, playing a fantastic match, while Danish goalkeeper Hermansen made five saves, ensuring that of City's 24 shots, only one found the back of the net.
Our prediction for Aston Villa vs West Ham is: Under 2.5 goals.
