West Ham United Preview – Can the Hammers avoid a fourth straight loss?
West Ham United are in sixth place right now, amassing an impressive 45 points from 28 Premier League games. So far, the Hammers have picked up 13 wins, drawn six and lost nine. They start the weekend only three points behind Arsenal in the race for fourth.
West Ham have had a little wobble in form over the past week or so, losing three league and cup game in a row. After a 3-1 FA Cup defeat to Southampton, David Moyes’ troops were narrowly beaten by Liverpool in the Premier League. United then lost 1-0 to Sevilla in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League Round of 16 tie in midweek.
West Ham will be desperate to get back to winning ways after the trio of losses. This will be a tough task against an in-form side, but the Hammers will fancy their chances on home soil.
Aston Villa Preview – Can Villa make it four in a row?
Apart from a few iffy results here and there, Steven Gerrard had made a good start to life as a manager in the Premier League. Under their new boss, Aston Villa have won eight league games and have shot up to the top half of the table.
Since a poor 1-0 home loss to Watford, Aston Villa have been in superb form. In recent weeks, the Midlands club have beaten Brighton & Hove Albion, Southampton and Leeds United, scoring nine and conceding none along the way.
