What to Know
West Ham United won both of their matches against Aston Villa last season (2-1 and 3-1) and is aiming for the same result on Sunday. They are meeting up for their first leg of the season at 12:30 p.m. ET at Villa Park. The Irons should still be riding high after a win, while Villa will be looking to right the ship.
Tottenham Hotspur typically have all the answers at home, but on Sunday West Ham proved too difficult a challenge. West Ham won by a goal, slipping past Tottenham 1-0. The score was all tied up at the break nothing to nothing, but West Ham was the better team in the second half.
Meanwhile, the Lions came up short against Arsenal last Friday, falling 3-1.
Aston Villa’s defeat took them down to 3-5-1 while West Ham United’s victory pulled them up to 5-2-2. A win for Villa would reverse both their bad luck and West Ham United’s good luck. We’ll see if Villa manages to pull off that tough task or if West Ham keeps their momentum going instead.
