Team News

Aston Villa
West Ham
  • Jhon Duran remains suspended for the hosts, while up to four injured players miss out.
  • West Ham are likely to be without five players here through injury, including the likes of Michail Antonio, Jarrod Bowen and Emerson.

Prediction

  • Aston Villa will be hoping to make it back-to-back wins at Villa Park at the beginning of 2025 when they host West Ham in the third round of the FA Cup.
  • The visitors have been in limbo this week, with it expected that Graham Potter will replace Julen Lopetegui as head coach before kick-off on Friday night.
  • The Hammers head to Birmingham off the back of big defeats to Liverpool and Manchester City, with confidence likely to be low.
  • Given the form and circumstances for both sides, the hosts should progress here.
