AVL vs WHU Dream11 Match Preview, Team News, Lineups
A two-week international hiatus can't help Aston Villa alleviate its sense of unfairness in their 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, but the next game gives the Villains and the head coach Dean Smith a timely opportunity to register the 2nd win of the season. Three points – Pacifier.
But West Ham are no ordinary team. They are on a roll and remain unbeaten since suffering a 0-5 hammering at home against Manchester City on Premier League's matchday one. In fact, the Hammers can break into the top four with a win at Villa Park. Tempting.
