West Ham Preview – Can West Ham finish off in style?
A crucial and ultimately decisive three-match unbeaten sequence towards the end of this season’s Premier League campaign helped secure West Ham’s top flight status as manager, David Moyes, has steered The Hammers to safety thanks to back-to-back wins against Norwich City 4-0 away and a 3-1 home win against Watford, not forgetting their priceless point at Old Trafford in the 1-1 draw against Manchester United.
West Ham have once avoided the trap-door and having lost just one of their last six matches overall in the Premier League which includes an earlier 3-2 home win over Champions League candidates, Chelsea, it seems curious that Sunday’s hosts have been priced as underdogs against an Aston Villa side who have captured just two away wins all season.
The hosts have lost just three of their last nine matches at home and although they’ve struggled throughout the majority of this season, recent results and form has produced renewed confidence in the West Ham camp with the main beneficiary being forward Antonio (10 goals overall) who has scored 8 goals in the subsequent 8 matches since the season resumed.
Aston Villa Preview – Can Villa secure top flight safety?
Sunday’s visitors, Aston Villa, also bring a valuable three-match unbeaten run into this final day of the season at the London Stadium having registered vital wins against Crystal Palace and most impressive of all, a 1-0 win over a lacklustre Arsenal outfit.
In-between times, Villa also picked up an important point on the road in a 1-1 draw away at Goodison Park against Everton which will no doubt give Dean Smith’s boys a much-needed boost ahead of this crucial clash in the nation’s capital.
However, the fact still remains that Villa have been woeful on the road throughout this season as their away record of 2-4-12 18/36 indicates, and includes the joint-second highest number of defeats away from home in the Premier League, which surely doesn’t bode well ahead of this encounter.
