Aston Villa travels to London on Sunday aiming to continue their impressive winning streak.
Under Unai Emery, the team has won eight consecutive games across all competitions, putting them just three points behind the top of the table. They have a strong record against West Ham, remaining unbeaten in their last six encounters, including a win in this fixture last season. With Ollie Watkins in top form, Villa is optimistic about adding another three points.
Unai Emery is waiting on updates for two important players. Goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez and defender Pau Torres both missed the recent game against Basel. A final decision on their fitness will be made close to match time, with hope that they can play. If Torres is unavailable, Ezri Konsa may move to central defense, with Matty Cash staying at right-back. Tyrone Mings and Ross Barkley are still out due to injuries. In attack, Ollie Watkins is set to make his 200th Premier League appearance, supported by key midfielders Youri Tielemans and Amadou Onana who have been essential to Villa’s success.
Aston Villa predicted XI: Martínez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Maatsen; Kamara, Onana; Buendía, Tielemans, McGinn; Watkins
The Premier League match will be held at the London Stadium on Sunday, 14 December 2025, starting at 14:00 GMT.
The match will be shown live in the UK on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event, with coverage starting at 13:00 GMT.
