Aston Villa will be looking to add to West Ham United’s Premier League relegation fears when the two teams meet at Villa Park on 22 March.
Current Form
Villa were beaten 3-1 by Manchester United on 15 March, as they extended their winless run to four matches in the English top-flight.
Aston Villa are also winless in their last two home matches in the Premier League, having recorded a defeat and a draw at Villa Park.
Meanwhile, West Ham managed to hold Manchester City to a 1-1 draw on 14 March, and they are now undefeated in their last two matches in the league.
The Hammers have won two of their last three away matches in the Premier League, while the other game ended in a defeat as the visitors.
Team News
Aston Villa currently have Boubacar Kamara, Youri Tielemans, and Matty Cash unavailable due to injury, with no players suspended.
West Ham United, on the other hand, also doesn’t have suspensions, but Crysencio Summerville, Lukasz Fabianski, and Ollie Scarles are currently nursing injuries.
Quotes
“I think we can keep our heads up and try to do better in the next game against Aston Villa,” West Ham left-back El Hadji Malick Diouf said after their draw with Man City.
“And I hope we’re going to make a good performance and get a good result. Four or five months ago, I was saying that we needed that passion. If you start really badly, you have to stay patient, because I know we have a really good squad.
“It’s still not enough, so we have to continue. We have to keep going.”
Head-to-Head
Aston Villa beat West Ham United 3-2 in their last meeting in the league, which was earlier in December 2025 at the London Stadium.
As a result, Villa are undefeated in their last six Premier League games against West Ham, having registered three victories and three draws.
